Achievements
Cody Collins – Completed AFF
Matthew Bigby – Certificate A
Simon Backman- 100 Jumps
This week’s Newsletter, starting Monday 11th of September could almost be a non-event. Nothing happened today. On Tuesday 12 we put up six182 loads. Adam Parker nailed all six loads. Cheyne Kupfer and Hwan Hee Jeong were on all five others. Well done, great all day effort.
On Wednesday 13 it was similar. We put up some more loads in Charlie. Thursday got blown away. On Friday the 182 flew another 5 loads. Danny, Geoff and Adam were on all five. I left late afternoon and headed to Mitchell Creek for a demo with Doug and Rod Benson into the Rock n Blues Festival on the Saturday.
Saturday was quiet but steady. Most of our regulars headed to the Queensland Champs at Tyagarah. Kevin White was here for his 1st Jump Course and did Stage 1. Cody Collins did Stages 7, 8 & 9 – completing his AFF, well done!
Cheyne was back for some more training.
The “Bond” Trio (Simon Backman, John Hannan & Luke Morley) were at it again for Simon’s 100th, taking it up a step to Superhero status.
Kane Challis got stuck into his B-Rel training. Well done to you too!
Doug put on a great Aussie Flag demo into the Mitchell Creek Rock n Blues Festival and Rod took some great shots. I had fun too. Rod and Doug then repeated the display when they jumped back into the drop zone late Saturday.
Sunday was similar to yesterday, quiet but steady. Our new tandem jumpers were Gudrun White and Sally Goodlet.
Kevin White did Stages 2 & 3 of his AFF Course.
Kane nailed his final B-Rel, well done and congratulations – B Certificate coming your way.
The Mitchell Creek Rock & Blues Festival was great and again, the demos on Saturday were terrific.
See ya!

Visitor Book Comments
Sally Goodlet – It was a fantastic experience. Thanks Bro and
Julie – best birthday gift! Looking forward to doing it again.
Gudrun White – I had an amazing tandem jump!! Thanks Sara and the team for this great experience!!
Bill, Just a note to say thanks to you mate for your continued support it was a great trip. I would also like to bring to your leadership teams attention the exceptional support provided by Andy who did the tandem jump with a great friend of mine, Julie. To say Julie was petrified on the lead up to the big day would be a huge understatement. I had my doubts that she would actually exit on the day. I put her decision to exit firmly in the hands of Andy who excelled in calming her down, reassuring her whilst having a bit of a laugh along the way. The manner in which he guided her through what was to her a daunting task was oustanding to watch. He should be commended not only for his flight skills but also his raport and interaction with the customer. I was not surprised to find out he had a military background. Ramblers should be proud to have such fine men on their books as you and Andy, Bill.
“exceptional support”, “reassuring… whilst having a bit of a laugh” – by John D. – Julie’s Tandem
