INFORMATION FOR COURSES
The course lasts for one day. We will start by teaching you how to do a parachute-landing roll and tell you about the parachute that you are going to use during the day. A member of the teamwill then undertake a trial flight to check the wind conditions. Your flying then commences. Your course includes three launches. Club members who run your courses are volunteers and are all members of the British Hangliding and Paragliding Association and are full or associate members of the scout movement.
Responsible adults must accompany any participants under the age of 16 throughout the day.
The cost of the course is again being held this year and will be £39 per person.
A deposit of £19 per person is required with the booking form. (All cheques have to come from sections/group/Leader not individual parents). If you are unsuccessful with the dates you have chosen then your deposit will be returned to you. If you are successfully booked onto one of your dates then your deposit becomes NON-RETURNABLE.
If we cancel the course you will be able to re-book the course without any further charge. If we are unable to re-book you by the end of our flying year then a refund will be available.
Please note that all flying will be held at South Cerney Army Base, Near Cirencester. Until a suitable flying venue nearer home is found.
