Winter Weekend at Sutton Bank!

We're organising a Winter Weekend at Sutton Bank, from Friday 7th – Sunday 9th February 2025. If you've been to Sutton Bank before, you'll know that it's a wonderful gliding site with some spectacular views over the North York Moors and over the Vale of York to the Dales.

It's a ridge site, and so we can go ridge soaring in a westerly wind, and there's often magical Wave from the Pennines.

Sutton Bank has a reputation for being a tricky site to fly at – and it deserves respect – but you should come and experience it for yourself.

If you'd like to come along, please book in using this form -> https://forms.gle/j7Lxsn31Q2Tmaaqu6

Could you let us know if you're bringing a glider, and what glider it is? Just so we can let the club know what will be on-site for the weekend.

Also, it'll help us to organise enough instructors if we know what your experience level is? WG's own Kelly Teagle is a senior instructor at the YGC, and she'll be on-site all weekend. But we could do with knowing how many other instructors we'll need too.

Cafe – the YGC has a fantastic on-site Cafe, generally open from 10 – 3 during the winter. They may open longer hours, or do us breakfasts or evening meals, by special arrangement. They provide a great range of homemade cakes, and hot and cold meals.

Accommodation – the YGC has a limited number of bedrooms on-site, and a couple of static caravans for rent. If you want one of those, please book in with the YGC office directly. Call them on 01845 597237 or email enquiry@ygc.co.uk
