October 1909: The original club was founded in Blackpool.[1]
Late 1922: The club was re-formed by John F. Leeming and a group of friends who had started to build a glider in Leeming's garage at his home in Bowdon near AltrinchamCheshire.[2] It was named "Aero Club" because at the time many racing pigeon clubs called themselves "<placename> Flying Club".[3]
Early 1924: The LPW Glider was completed and was taken to Alexandra Park Aerodrome. The club flew the glider many times at Alexandra Park, launching it by towing behind a car.
September 1939: The Second World War stopped club activities. The club's aircraft were stored in Avro's hangars at Woodford where the club was based until then.

2007: The club decided to leave Barton, due to terms being required by Peel Holdings that the Lancashire Aero Club's committee deemed to be unacceptable.[7]
July 2009: The club started operating from a single grass strip airfield at Kenyon Hall Farm, near Warrington, which it is hoped will become its new home if planning permission is granted.[8]
