New Websites launched!
We've made some major changes to our websites to better serve the Public, Members and Visitors.

Our "public" website has been redesigned and can now be viewed on https://bggc.co.uk where you can see details of our Trial Flights, Courses as well as information on joining the club and learning to fly....

For members and visiting pilots all detailed information covering airfield briefings, weather, webcams, events (Competitions & Task Weeks) can be found at https://members.bggc.co.uk . In common with several other clubs we've adopted a "wiki" format top help manage the large amount of information.

Have a look next rainy day !
