Need a jump buddy?

And if you have finished your training and you are looking for someone to jump with, let manifest know and they will put you in contact with our Load Energiser, who will either jump with you, or match you up with a jump buddy. No charge. All you pay for is your own jump slot.

Toogs NY Boogie

“Ramblers DZ sponsored a mini-boogie leading up to the 2025 New Year. The party, free cocktails by the pool sponsored by Cookie skydiving helmets, started on Sunday as the last load took off. Kylie provided the live music and the cocktails were terrific, cheers to Cookie Helmets. A brief welcome to drop zone boogie message was conducted later in the evening and the party continued.

After normal skydiving activities during the next day, the 41 registered attendees were treated to a free raffle and the prizes, all 96 of them, were items belonging to the late, great Claude Gillard, the founder of the APF.

On New Years Eve day, skydiving activities continued and the weather was ok. New Years Eve was a beauty. After dinner there was a fashion parade with a Rock Star theme. The costumes were unreal and judging the winners was very intense. Then the Band kicked in with good old Rock and Roll till 2 am New Years Day.

Happy New Year and Thank You to everybody who attended.”
