For the first round of the fourteenth Winter Series, we will be returning to Portmoak for some epic ridge flying, as well as (hopefully) some wave. It’s definitely worth the drive! There will be lots of two seaters available, so do not worry if you are not yet solo or cannot bring your own glider.

The event runs from Friday morning to Sunday evening. There will be briefings each morning where you can sign up to fly that day.

Catering will be provided from breakfast on Friday through to lunch on Sunday. Breakfasts and lunches will be provided by Top Bun and evening meals by HMB Street Food. The bar will be open on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings.

Rooms in the club bunkhouse have been block-booked in the name of UK Junior Gliding. Rooms will be allocated to Instructors and Organisers first. Once these have been allocated, any remaining accommodation will be available for anyone to book.

It is a great opportunity to meet like-minded young pilots and experience flying from a site and in gliders that you would not normally have access to.

We look forward to welcoming you in October!

Please note: Everyone attending must register through this website, even if they don't plan to fly. This is so we know who is coming and to ensure that we have emergency contact details for everyone on-site.

Supervision & Safeguarding
UK Junior Gliding organises the Winter Series to promote gliding and encourage flying through the winter months at adventurous airfields. During flying and other organised activities, the UKJG team will maintain an appropriate level of supervision to ensure everyone's safety and welfare. The supervision of under-18's is the responsibility of the parents or a nominated responsible adult who is on-site during the event. Please contact the team if you have any questions relating to supervision or safeguarding.

Being a Junior means you are part of a community who all share a common interest in gliding. Within this group there are some basic expectations that we must all abide by to ensure it remains well represented and fun for everyone.

The Junior Gliding Code of Conduct

• I will treat everyone with respect and as an equal, and will not behave inappropriately towards others.
• I will respect the rules of the air and never deliberately perform actions which will put myself or others in danger.
• I understand that the future success of the Juniors (and gliding as a whole) relies on being safe and maintaining a good reputation.
• I will abide by the national law on alcohol consumption.
• When visiting other airfields, I will respect the club and its members, and abide by its rules.
• The UKJG leaders are always available to assist in resolving issues. They operate an impartial, confidential and supportive ‘open door policy’. Where concerned for myself or another, I will speak to a club official. The guidance in the BGA’s Young People in Gliding ‘blue card’ explains how club members and officials should respond.
• I will do my utmost to contribute positively to the Junior community.
• I understand that by taking part in UKJG and BGA organised Junior gliding events, I can be expected to confirm that I have accepted this Code of Conduct and agree to abide by it.

I understand the Junior Gliding Code of Conduct and agree to abide by it.
