Growing club membership during 2025
We need your help!
The Promoting Gliding project that aims to raise awareness and signpost interest towards BGA clubs is urgently seeking more contributions from pilots for the central library for use in BGA online advertising this spring. We have lots of scenic shots but are particularly short of short video clips / photos showing “happy smiling people doing gliding”. Images can be uploaded here, with credits and brief descriptions: [https://tinyurl.com/UploadtoBGALibrary].
Improving your club’s digital presence
Clubs can access a growing library of content for their own digital marketing, along with content calendars, ideas and troubleshooting tips: [https://tinyurl.com/BGALibraryAccess].
For individual advice & signposting to help your club improve its online presence, please go to https://tinyurl.com/BGAProjectJotform and attend the next online workshop “How to increase awareness without posting online” on 27th Jan. sign up for the zoom link & other Monday evening club development sessions via alison@gliding.co.uk
Is your club ready to welcome newcomers?
There will be a wave of public interest coming from the Promoting Gliding project. Is your club ready to give these people what they’re expecting from a modern, safe, efficient, and friendly gliding community? It’s not just about slick marketing or a simple sign up process – a warm welcome & swift easy access to safe and exciting flying and enjoyable club experience is key. The BGA’s Expanding Horizons initiative offers a supportive assessment to help clubs improve the welcome for newcomers whilst maintaining a great experience for all members. We encourage clubs to sign up now at marilyn@gliding.co.uk
