Thursday – A not so good weather day. Low clouds and winds kept most jumpers away. Only 2 loads took to the skies.

Friday – Today the weather was bad, not one load took to the skies. Much needed rain fell. The kangaroos were happy.

Saturday – Same again today. Low clouds and rain kept everyone away. The indoor fire place was the place to be. Brad Markwell returned after a 14 year break for a refresher course.
