Once you're there, introduce yourself to people. Find your instructor and let them know that you're a new member. They should give you a safety introduction and let you know whats going on.
The first thing we do in the morning is unpack the hangar and check the gliders and equipment. This usually happens until around 09:30 when there can is a briefing with everyone. After that, the gliders are towed out to the launch point and then we go flying! Try to help out, but make sure people know that you're new and don't do anything you're not comfortable with. You'll soon learn how to do stuff.
Once all the gliders are at the launch point, we start flying. You'll usually take it in turns to fly with your instructor with the other person booked in for that session. When you're not flying, there are plenty of jobs to do on the ground. These include moving gliders around, collecting winch cables and launching the gliders. Again, ask people what they're doing and how you can help - they'll appreciate it. Note you can only drive the vehicles if you have a manual driver's licence.
