 If you are aged under 18, there are two ways you can join the Scottish Gliding Centre
-. Join through the Learn to Glide Package - this gives you three months membership and credit in your flying account towards your training. This is the recommended approach if you're not sure gliding is something you will commit to for the long term. If you do wish to continue, you'll be able to become junior member pro-rata.
