The British Gliding Association is holding its first even National Women Go Gliding weekend in 2024! This initiative – a partnership between the BGA, Women Gliding and the GoGliding campaign – is the first of its kind. It hopes to encourage more women to try gliding, and to show that it is an enjoyable and inclusive sport for everyone.

Gliding clubs around the UK will be running events on the day, to get women into the air in gliders. We hope to get a record number of women in the air in gliders as possible on one day!

How to take part

Contact your local gliding club (see here for a map and list of clubs) to get more details. You can also find out more on the BGA’s Women and Inclusivity in Gliding (WING) page, and on the dedicated community website at womengliding.co.uk
