Newsletter time again, starting from Monday 11th March. Brock Phillis was back for Stages 4 & 5. Li Pok Man was also back for a Stages 4 refresher and then straight to back where he left off for a Stage 6.

There were 6 fun jumpers here, 8 loads for the day including the hop & pop loads. Costa was out canopy coaching Adrian Seeman, Oliver Fong, Amy Jamieson and Daniel Catlow, Adrian, Fong and Dan are competing at the Canopy Nationals in a few week over in W.A.

Tuesday was a bit quieter. There were only 2 loads. Li Pok Man did Stages 7 & 8. Another 6 fun jumpers filled the loads. Then the afternoon storms stopped us from jumping.

Wednesday picked up. Blue skies and light winds made for an excellent skydiving day. There were 4 loads and 6 fun jumpers. Brock Phillis returned for Stages 6 & 8. He did very well at his jumps as was fast tracked through his course.  Li Pok Man started his B-Rels. Zeb Whalley continued his accuracy jumps and started his B-rel Jumps, Pok Man completed his A Licence currency requirements and Stage 2 B-rel.

Thursday was a bit quiet. Some loads were done. 4×182 loads took to the skies. Lindsey Boniface, Mitchell Brown, John Hillman, Eddie Ljungdahl, Sam Smith, Mathias and Zeb Whalley filled the 182 today.

Funtastic Friday was similar, there were 5 loads and 8 fun jumpers here. The local jumpers kept the plane turning all day. Brock completed B-rel 3 with Adrian, but then the weather was turning.

Saturday started slow with threatening weather but cleared a little by midday and we had beautiful blues skies all day. Brodie Reid, Kimberley Rogers, and Joel Lucht all got their tandems in amongst the clouds. Ellen Bingham and Chris Moore started their AFF with Sara and did Stage 1 in the afternoon. There were only 3 loads for the day but the 14 fun jumpers made the most of it. Skye Completed B-rel 5 with Shelby and Darren.

Sunday was similar re the weather, painful. However three new students, Eduard Noack-Lundberg, Tayia Merrett and Tamara Vujadinovic all did their First Jump.  Ellen Bingham did AFF Stages 2 & 3. Cooper McClymont did Stages 5 & 6. There were only 3 loads for the day but the 13 fun jumpers made the most of it before the storms opened up the skies.

See ya!
