Luke wasn’t the only one in the DZ who had a big day on Thursday! Look who we saw here:

 

Friday Aydan De Ruiter did Stages 8 & 9 of his AFF Course – finishing his AFF after only starting this week! Yeah buddy! Also Tyler did his last 4way B-Rel, everything done for the B-Licence – Congratulations!! In the afternoon more and more fun jumpers found their way to Toogs, so we had a good crowd for our weekly Sausage Sizzle!
