This is what gliding is all about. People coming together at the end of a great soaring day to debrief, unwind and go over their triumphs of the day.

Here at Kent Gliding Club we enjoy a strong camaraderie and affable atmosphere for both our club members and visitors, so we can all experience the same buzz from our crazy little sport.

Beneath the patient heavens, where Westering sun
Weaves threads of gold through wandering clouds,
Our silent wings are found.
They seem to dream of boundless blue and white,
Of spiralling where skylarks soar to sing.

And so ends another fair day’s graceful gliding,
Not with clamour, but with the gentle hush
Of evening upon the grass,
And the quiet fellowship of those who chase the sky.

HATS!! Something you will definitely notice when you first come to Kent Gliding Centre is the selection of fine headwear worn by the regulars. The bucket hat is not just for Oasis fans, but is the perfect accessory for keeping the head protected from the sun whilst allowing better all-round visibility than a longer-peaked cap while walking around the airfield, and soaring high above the Kent countryside.
Come and fly with us! www.kent-gliding-club.co.uk. Hats not compulsory.
