Monday 8th February. The week started well. New students Lisa Van Heijningen and Jake Drummond commenced their skydiving 1st Jump Course and  completed AFF Stage 1. Charlie Roache and Lachlan Dennis continued on with Stages 5, 6 & 7.

Tuesday was a bit“iffy”weather-wise. However Jake Drummond – AFF Stage 2, Justin Ross – Stage 5 and Charlie Roache – Stage 8 were all on the one load of the day.

So on Wednesday we had an early start before the breeze got up. Lisa Van Heijningen was keen and she and Craig Core did AFF Stages 2, 3 & 4.  Others were also keen. Jake Drummond did Stages 3 & 4 and Justin Ross did Stages 6, 7 & 8.  Lachlan Dennis also did Stages 8 & 9 and Charlie Roache did Stage 9 – both finishing their AFF. Well done!

On Thursday we got a few loads in. Lisa Van Heijningen did AFF Stages 5 & 6, and Jake Drummond did Stages 5, 6 & 7. Michelle Conchie was back for a Refresher. Other fun jumpers were also active.

Lisa Van Heijningen completed her training on Friday successfully completing Stages 7, 8 & 9. So did Jake Drummond who knocked over AFF 8 & 9. Well done and Congratulations!

Saturday was busy! Lots of jumpers, lots of students and lots of action! Plus, for us, lots of Tandems, who were Daryan Apaul,  Ben O’Brien, Joshua McGuire, Hayley Levings, and Brodie Gibson-Green.

New students Jade Grobler, Brandon-Lee Horridge, Aaron Dean and Jason Williams did Stage 1 of  their AFF Courses, welcome to the Sport team! Benjamin Bland was back for AFF 2, Glynn Caballero did AFF 5, and Conor Loughnan and Alan Roach both did Stages 5, 6 & 7. Chance Moida did a Refresher.

There were three groups of Rel Workers here getting ready for the upcoming Nation Championships. Wingsuiters, freefliers and other fun jumpers meant both Caravans got into the action. We ended the day with Brodie and Hayley doing a Night Tandem and Rangry test jumped his night flares – very spectacular mate. There was a crowd of lady skydivers here jumping all day and celebrating Monique’s Birthday all night and boy, did they kick the party along!!
And then it (sort of) rained.

On Sunday morning it was still sort of rainy. Well, rainy enough to shut the day down except for one load, with  Lyn Nguyen back for her second Tandem. Susie, Jason and I added the numbers for the load, which was sensational scooting among the scattered clouds. It was a great week and weekend.

See ya,

Macca and Team Ramblers.
