This year we'll be holding a WomenGlide Spring Mini-Comp in the North at Sutton Bank!
It's going to be a friendly mini-competition to encourage more female pilots to fly cross country, along the lines of an inter-club league competition, where we'll fly for fun, but for real prizes! Men are welcome to fly too of course!
We'll run a variety of tasks depending on the experience of those who come along. Need your Silver Distance? Why not get it with us? Or an old hand at XC? Come and fly with us in lovely North Yorkshire... if we're lucky we will have the ridge and maybe, just maybe, some of our famous wave :-)
We'll also have at least one two seater, with an XC instructor for those who are less experienced. You won't miss out!
