Glos Strut
Who are we?

The Strut is the Gloucestershire branch of the Light Aircraft Association (LAA).

We run monthly meetings for those interested in all aspects of light aircraft, be they aircraft pilots, aircraft builders, owners or just aviation enthusiasts.

You don't need to own an aircraft to join us, just have an interest in Aviation.

Our meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month, starting at 7.30 pm.

From September to April we meet at the Victory Club, Lypiatt Road , Cheltenham , GL50 2SY.

In May, June, July and August we meet at a venue to allow outdoor events.

We also have a regular flying programme which includes an annual tutored jaunt across to Le Touquet for Channel Virgins and anyone else who enjoys a pleasant day out with an excellent lunch.

Our 2025 program is starting to take shape with flyouts, visits to Brize Norton, Benson, Brooklands and a return visit to the RAF Museum at Cosford.

We enjoy social events such as film nights, skittle evenings and visits to places of interest to members.

We have over 100 members and we’re a friendly bunch, so if you think we might have what you’re looking for do come to one of our meetings to 'try before you buy'.

Joining the club is just £10 per year for Full membership, £5 for Second Family Member and free for Under 25s.
