Kent Gliding ClubTitle: Kent Gliding ClubDescription: Kent Gliding Club was founded on 4th January 1930 and documents show it to be the first BGA club to be formed. Founder member Jimmy Lowe-Wilde not only gained Britain's first gliding certificate, he also built the first glider to be registered by the BGA - a Primary affectionately called Columbus. The club flourished during the 1930's with gliding at a number of sites, but mostly at Lenham and Eastchurch. Due to the 1939-45 war this activity was unable to continue.
