Gliding at RAF Marham is run by Fenland Gliding Club which is part of the Royal Air Force Gliding & Soaring Association (RAFGSA). The aim of the RAFGSA is to promote the efficiency of the Royal Air Force by providing an opportunity to indulge in the healthy sport of Gliding and Soaring, thereby encouraging physical fitness and airmanship among its members.
