The ParAvion Tow Club
Because we have been asked so many times by people that have done their training or winch conversions with us to start a tow club, we decided to do just that.

So, if you are (this is what those people have said to us):
- Struggling to get off the hill and into a decent climb.
- Fed up with being pushed out of 'your' thermal when the crowds push in.
- Looking for a friendlier club 'feel'.
- Fed up with 'non-members' crowding out the sites you pay for.
- Looking for a little more coaching and support than you're currently getting.
- Fed up with walking back up the hill when you bomb out.
Well, look no further; ParAvion has all the answers for you - join our Tow Club and be amazed at how quickly your flying ability and XC regularity improves.
When the conditions are right for example; we can put you anything up to two thousand feet above Golden Ball hill (an excellent local XC site). If you don't get a thermal; just land back at launch and try again - effortless XC.
Membership Option 1:
For pilots with their own equipment; membership is only £60.00 per year paid by standing order at £5.00 a month. Plus a £25.00 Joining Fee (includes a FREE ParAvion Concertina Bag and T-shirt - worth £50.00).
Membership Option 2:
For pilots wanting to use ParAvion equipment (always less than a year old); membership is only £600.00 per year paid by standing order at £50.00 a month. Plus a £50.00 Joining Fee (includes a FREE Lazer B-Cool helmet and T-shirt - worth £75.00).
Supplied for your use will be; a glider, a harness (with regularly re-packed reserve parachute), a tow bridle and a radio. This will save you the cost of buying your own - saving you spending £3,000 to £4,000; so it's incredibly good value.
This option has been requested by students many times over the years, so we decided to do it for you. It is has been designed to allow you more time to decide whether paragliding is really the sport for you - before you spend out money on buying your own equipment.
