Cotswold Gliding Club
The Cotswold Gliding Club (CGC) is based at Aston Down airfield, between Cirencester and Stroud in Gloucestershire, South West England. The Club maintains a fleet of aircraft for training purposes, and is a centre for cross-country gliding and competitions.

CGC was formed in 1964. It was initially based at Long Newnton airfield near Tetbury,〔The airfield has long since reverted to farmland. See the (history of Long Newnton airfield ) with photographs of the hangars and parachute store.〕 but in 1967 moved to its current home, Aston Down—at that time still a military airfield. In 1980-1, with the help of Sports Council grants and other loans, the Club purchased a large part of the airfield when it was auctioned off by the Ministry of Defence.〔For the dramatic story of this complex auction, in which the airfield was divided into eight lots, see Roberts (1983). This account features horsetrading with a polo club, incognito bidders and a behind-the-scenes agreement by private treaty invoking Crichel Down rules.〕 Having since acquired further land, CGC now owns most of the airfield within the perimeter track.
CGC has some 200 members, including 80 students from the University of the West of England (UWE) in Bristol. There are about 30 associate members: these include both pilots (with limited flying rights) and aeromodellers.〔The modellers have been flying their aircraft at Aston Down since 1962—longer than the CGC itself.〕 In 2007 the CGC widened its membership to include Blokarters.〔Blokart is a form of land sailing using portable land yachts.〕
