How to fly our sites

See the sites guide page

Join the club?

You don't have to be a club member in order to fly most of the sites managed by the Malvern Club. However there are restrictions on the main Malvern hill sites: You may need a 'sticker for life' or to become a full member. Details and the application forms are on our joining instructions page. Alternatively come along to the Club night at The Pheasant, Welland.

Need any help with flying the Malverns, or flying in general? Who doesn't? See the Coaching page.

Club Meetings

Social meetings are held at 8 pm on the second Wednesday of each month at The Pheasant pub in Welland (Note: no longer at the Plume of Feathers), 3 miles to the South-East of Malvern. For a map click here. Previous activities have included parachute repacking, video nights, slide shows, quizzes and talks by luminaries such as "WeatherJack" Harrison, Jes Flynn, Darren Arkwright and Larry Tudor.

Hang glider pilots, don't worry about all of the PG stuff you will see there, many HG flights have been registered and the pilots have suffered no lasting damage from over-exposure to paragliding.

NOTAMS - You do check them don't you? Details of a great piece of software to help you with Notams can be found on the General Info page.
