The club has around 200 flying members, a fleet of eight club owned gliders and two tug aircraft, with about another 70 privately owned gliders operating on site.
The BGGC has its own dedicated airfield on top of the Cotswold edge with a large grass strip oriented roughly East/West. We overlook the Severn Vale looking across to the Black Mountains in Wales to the West and the Malvern Hills to the North. This means we get excellent thermal, ridge and wave offering soaring potential through the year; our members have carried out flights in excess of 750Km and reached over 20,000 ft in wave. In the winter months we enjoy around 100 km of usable ridges (in the right wind directions) from Broadway in the North to Bath in the South.
We launch by Aerotow and Winch, with on-site trailer parking, caravan site, purpose built clubhouse, hangars and workshop.
