Every week from May to August, on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings,
we invite organised groups to come and fly with us.
THIS IS HOW TO GO ABOUT IT.
You arrange an evening with Jo O'Brien
for a group of 5 to 20 willing enthusiasts, turn up on the evening
that you booked, and let us introduce you to the magic of silent flight.
If there are less than 8 in your group, we may put you together
with another small group. You can phone Jo on
0121 459 8225,
and you can also
email Jo,
but please include a contact phone number when you do.
If you're organising an evening, we have a
Poster Pack
that you can download. It's a bit
big though (540Kb), so email Jo if you'd like us to post you a copy.
WHAT IT COSTS AND WHAT YOU GET FOR YOUR MONEY. After a thorough
briefing, you get a trial lesson with one of our experienced instructors,
hands on if you wish. It costs you £35 per person,
or just £20 for under 18s.
Anyone wishing to have another flight during the evening can do so
for only £10, daylight and weather permitting.
We'll ask for a deposit to confirm your booking
(you can
pay online,
but please get a confirmed booking first), and the rest is due on the evening
that you fly.
HOW LONG DO FLIGHTS LAST?
Never long enough, is the simple answer. Unfortunately, it depends
entirely upon favourable weather conditions. However, it is such an
exciting experience that time hardly seems to matter.
WHEN TO TURN UP. We aim to start at 6.00pm, and we begin with an
introduction to the aircraft, the controls, and what to expect from your
flights. So, in order to ensure that everybody gets a chance, your party
should be there by that time. If a few people turn up late, we will be able
to accommodate them, but it will cause delays while we give them the
introduction.
HOW TO FIND US.
Our airfield is situated just north of Stratford on Avon, on the road
between the villages of Snitterfield and Bearley.
See the
Map of the Area.
HOW ABOUT THE WEATHER?.
Only extreme conditions will stop us, such as rain, hail, low cloud,
thunderstorms, fog, or very strong or gusty wind. Should there be any
doubt, please ring the airfield on 01789-731095 and be patient when you are
trying. If there is no reply, contact Jo O'Brien. Should the weather not be
suitable for flying, the evening can be rearranged.
HOW ABOUT SOMETHING TO EAT?.
If you feel like rounding off the evening with a meal at a local pub,
why not try
the
Snitterfield Arms
in Snitterfield or
the
Golden Cross
in Bearley.
WHAT ELSE?.
There are
Weight and Height limits
which
are not very restrictive, but occasionally mean that somebody is
unable to fly with us.
Any
Young Visitors
under eighteen years of age need the signature of a
parent or guardian, so we'll send you a form to fill in.
Apart from that...
