On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday it might have been slow, but it didn’t stop Will from France, he did between 5-10 jumps a day!! He clocked up quite a few jumps out of the 182. Other fun jumpers also did a few but Wills was on every load!

The weekend was also a bit quiet. Our tandems Saturday were Willem Neill, Daniel & Wade Grindal, Kelly-Anne Colley, Daniel Willett & Shayne Pointon.

Jim Czerwinski’s new 10 way speed star team, the Togoogala Ten, got 4 practice jumps in, their first day of training for next year’s POPS World Meet at Nagambie.

On Sunday it was quiet. The weather started not good and people left early. However Robert Muller came for a tandem and waited for a break in the weather, it was his surprise birthday present. His patience was rewarded with a jump with Scotty.
