Pathfinders Australia – Remembrance Day 11th November 2019
Tuesday. It was a bit quieter today. Our students all got a jump in. Clinton Elliot did Stage 2 of his AFF Course, Victor Rudolfsson did Stage 4, Zhi Jun (Jag) Wei did Stage 6 and Brenden Pont did Stage 8.
Wednesday was blown out. Thursday was a bit better. Kristina Trusedale was back for Stage 2 of her AFF Course. Clinton Elliot did Stages 3, 4 & 5, Victor Rudolfsson did Stages 5, 6 & 7, and Jag Wei did Stage 7. There were quite a few jumpers here. We did 8 loads with 33 jumpers.
Friday was good with a little bit of everything happening. The Tandem today was Gemma Jackson. Clinton Elliot did Stages 6, 7, 8 and 9 – completing his AFF Course, congratulations. Jag Wei and Jasmine Zhao did Stage 8 and Victor Rudolfsson did Stages 8 & 9 – completing his AFF. Another Congratulations!
Saturday was a funny one. We actually had a bit of rain – about 7 drops! There was lots of smoke from the bushfires and it was a bit thermally. However John Troy came back and did Stages 2 & 3 of his AFF Course. And Adam Chow did Stages 2, 3 & 4. Jasmine Zhao did Stage 9 – completing her AFF, well done Jasmine! The funky weather scared a few jumpers away. We did 7 loads with the 37 jumpers who were here.
On Sunday the weather was ok but still scary smoky. Our Tandems were Matthew John, Scott Braunack, and Toogoolawah locals Nadia Latter and Christopher Coates. John Troy did Stage 4 of his AFF Course and Clinton Howard did Stage 7. The bush fire west of Esk was creating reddish brown clouds of smoke.
See ya!
