Portal Sites (Flying Clubs & Schools) & General GA Hubs & Sites Rather than to try and maintain a directory of flying clubs and schools, we have opted to give links to a range of portal sites that provide listings. The reason is that club listings tend to be somewhat ephemeral. Not all clubs and schools have easily discovered details. Not all clubs and schools have web sites and not all listed links or details are current. Some listed clubs no longer exist. Not all portal sites list all clubs. Complicated, isn’t it? Many of the portal sites below contain partial listings of contact details for clubs and schools in the UK and elsewhere. Many of the organisations featured on our other links pages give listings of affiliated clubs and schools.
