Well a new club record was set here on Saturday after 14 year old Evan Skelhorn was sent solo on his birthday by our youngest Instructor Josh Reid. After only 43 flights with our instructors Evan was ready to take to the skies by himself. Congratulations Evanππ British Gliding Association
4 SGC pilots in top 6 on day 1 of UKMSC. Keep up the good work boys. https://www.soaringspot.com/β¦/opβ¦/tas k-1-on-2018-09-02/daily
Congratulations to Eric Kuhlwilm on completing his bronze badge today (pictured on the left with CFI Mike Carruthers)ππ British Gliding Association
Huge congratulations to Jonathan Bradford who had an amazing week down south at his first Juniors. His first 300km in a new type is a very strong effort also counting towards his Gold/diamond badges. Well done Jono!ππ
Some new art to brighten up the main entrance. Come along and check it out for yourself ππ
Congratulations to Mitchell Skene on completing his Silver badge after a very good 50km attempt in his ka6cr ππ- See photos below! British Gliding Association

Took these photos on Saturday of the salads on Donna's new menu. There were different options on Sunday, and empty plates all round.
Air experience flights tonight. North sea haar came in and "stalled" over the field for an hour. Colin Hamilton took this video clip from the tug. There was 3 knots of lift about 200-300m in front of the cloud as the cold sea air chiseled its way under the warmer air to the west.
A write up of the longest day 2018
Sant must have been knackered after this mammoth flight. http://www.bgaladder.co.uk/dscore.asp?Fli ghtID=71359&RC=X
Hey! Everyone at Portmoak. Time to reflect on how we get things done. We have some amazing volunteer effort that are real stand out examples. We have some not quite so amazing examples. Which camp are you in?... Could we be doing it better?
Get involved!

Very friendly for a visiting power pilot.
Top class and very friendly club. Everybody made to feel welcome.
First class disabled facilities- including flying.
Great day out.
Terrific day out. One of the most enjoyable things I've done!
Scottish Gliding Centre is a magical place that allowes you to eperience the best of gliding. In one day you can experience the best ridge flying, best thermals and before you finish the day you catch a wave to 11k feet!
I always sleep in in order the the the "full" experience and always be around great pilots. Will try bring my Italian friends for a go! Cheers A.V.
One of the best clubs in the UK and the best in Scotland! Friendly and helpful members.
Good place to learn the skills needed to become an X/Country pilot. Good value rooms available on site and a full time instructor available Monday- Friday who is bookable. What more do you need. If you make the effort anything is possible.
I always love a visit there. So much to see!!
Had a great day out watching my 80 year old friend up in the air x
Great place, friendly people and always a place to spend a day learning or progressing your gliding.
Great flight experience today at Scottish Gliding Centre. Excellent instructor @Mark Wilson. Definitely recommend! Will be back.
Friendly club with good facilities in a wonderful location. During the week we have managed to fly in ridge, thermal and wave. Highlight was a short but exciting flight in wave.
Fabulous !!!
Faboulous gliding. Great views. Really friendly members (well, except for the one that called me a lazy b'stard!)
Excellent facilities, excellent people.
Brilliant experience, friendly people and an awesome flight. Thoroughly worth it!
Amazing place! Loved every minute, would visit again.
A superb day and a wonderful flight in perfect conditions. A very patient instructor (Dave) gave me a reasonable understanding of what when and how and a fun descent playing with g-forces. Maybe one day I'll do it myself.
