Monday 11th was a quiet start to the week. No loads due to the weather.

Tuesday was better. Several loads were done and Michael Foenander and Hiro Xu did Stages 2, 3 & 4 of their AFF Courses. Kristina, Finn and Kurt got stuck into it along with a few regular fun jumpers.

Bad weather also arrived on Saturday. However some loads got in the air. Our new students, Mathew Docherty, Joshua Hart, and our pilot Dominic Gretener all managed to get Stage 1 done.

The Bellas all-girl 4 way team managed a couple of practice jumps and Mossy’s new 8 way crew managed to get one training jump away. The rest of the fun jumpers here dodged the clouds.

The low cloud base on Sunday morning kept everybody grounded. Eventually it lifted and fun jumpers, teams, students and our new Tandems Tarley Maddern, Luce De Yrigoyen, & Evert McQueen got to skydive.

Student Hiro Xu did AFF Stage 5 and Jordan McEvoy did AFF Stage 9 – congratulations Jordan!
