Welcome to Beverley Soaring Society
Located 130 km east of Perth Western Australia, Beverley Soaring Society is a dynamic club providing trial flights and pilot training from novice through to the adventure of cross-country flying and racing.

Our panel of qualified, highly-experienced instructors are rostered each weekend to teach the skills of soaring to anyone from a teenager through to airline pilots with thousands of hours experience.

Our instructors and coaches give their time on a voluntary basis so the flying costs are kept to a minimum, this ensures that everybody can have the opportunity to enjoy the experience of learning to fly.

Sunday 20 July to Friday 1 August 2008

Members that are thinking of going but are not sure of what it involves contact Ian Cook and he will gladly explain about the camp or talk to another member who has been in the past. It is a great experience both as far as the gliding is concerned and socially. Local thermal soaring can be carried out at the Stirling’s if you wish. It is a very different soaring experience to Beverley: the smoothness of wave flights; breathtaking scenery of the ranges; and the thrill of ridge soaring.

On the 3rd March Shari McGregor and John Welsh took the "Big Bird" over the fence for the first time on the Club Pylon Race Day. The task was Beverley-Cunderdin silo - Brookton-Beverley (175k) and was completed at 94kph. "Makes X-country too easy!" was John's comment after landing. Bill Whitehand & Greg Beecroft jumped into the ship and did the course as well in a similar time. What a machine!
