Narrative:

On sat and sun I flew my paraglider from ZZZ airport after obtaining a WX briefing (both days) from flight service. Often times the WX briefers offer any pertinent NOTAMS without my requesting them and it seems I rarely, if ever request them until now. I found out after making flts on sunday that there was an fdc NOTAM active until wed that included that area within a 10 NM circle of ZZZ airport from the surface to 18000 ft. I was told the flying site is within half NM of that outer boundary and that myself and others who flew were in violation of that airspace. I have made available NASA reports to my fellow glider pilots and have now included asking for NOTAMS in my flight briefings rather than to assume they will be made available to me without my requesting them. I have a fixed wing private license sel with instrument rating and also am an active advanced tandem instructor in paragliding.
