The
Oxford Gliding Club is a civilian club, with about 120 members.
We operate every weekend throughout the year (including Bank Holidays)
and for two weeks during August.
To
find out more, take a look at the following pages:
The
airfield is located close to the picturesque village of Weston on
the Green and is believed to be one of the largest grass airfields
in the country.
We
are within easy reach of the M40, being
about 2 miles from Junction 9 (the Oxford/Bicester junction).
The
area provides good soaring conditions and the unrestricted airspace
up to 8,500 feet provides good opportunities for cross country flights.
Eco-Town
Threat
The
goverment have recently included the Weston-Otmoor "eco-town"
proposal on their short list of fifteen. If approved, this new town
would swallow up 1,658 acres of picturesque Oxfordshire countryside
and replace it with up to 15,000 new properties. Weston on the Green
airfield, a grass airfield in continuous use since July 1918 would
also dissappear. Please help us to campaign against this by signing
the on-line petition.
