Terms and Conditions
General Information
The gift recipient (perhaps yourself) will receive a flight voucher valid for one year from the date of purchase. The voucher pack explains how to schedule a date for the flight. Also included is a period of membership of the club – allowing you to come back again and again (age 16 or over). Vouchers are sent by Royal Mail and normally take 3 working days to be delivered. Once you have read and agreed to the terms and conditions and understand that the person flying needs to meet the fitness, height and weight requirements, you can purchase the voucher online, or call the office on 01582 663419.
Online sales are of vouchers entitling the holder to the services specified. Vouchers are sold and the services are provided by London Sailplanes Limited (Trading as The London Gliding Club).
To book the trial lesson or course to which the voucher entitles you, you should phone the club during normal business hours to arrange a mutually convenient time.
Appointments may have to be varied at short notice due to weather or other conditions. London Gliding Club will be happy to rearrange a mutually convenient appointment, but will have no other liability.
Everyone aged 16 or over taking trial lessons or courses is entitled a period of free temporary membership of London Gliding Club. In order to take up a trial lesson or course, it is necessary to take up the temporary membership, and to agree to be bound by the rules of the club.
All vouchers are valid for one year from issue. In the event of cancellation an administration charge will be applied. If an extension beyond one year is requested, we may consider this entirely at our discretion, and if this is agreed an administration charge will be applied.
