UK Junior Gliding Events

Winter Series Round 3 - The Long Mynd

10th April 2026 to 12th April 2026

We're excited to announce the third round of the fouteenth Winter Series!

For the third round, we will be returning to the Long Mynd in Shropshire. Come along for a fantastic weekend of ridge flying and maybe even some Welsh wave! With a cosy clubhouse, full catering on-site and a warm welcome from the Midland Gliding Club locals, it’s sure to be a great event.

There will be lots of two seaters, so do not worry if you are not yet solo or cannot bring your own glider. It is a great chance to meet other, like-minded pilots, as well as experience flying from a different site.

Places are limited to 90, with 25 visiting gliders.

GLIDER REGISTRATION: If you sign up to bring a glider, we will confirm with you via email whether you can bring it (this will be based on your experience level and agreed with the Mynd CFI).

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.

We look forward to seeing you there!

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.

The Junior Gliding Code of Conduct
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.

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.
