Heart Jump – Love is in the Air

In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, our invitational group set out to build a “Heart” formation and we did just that. On our second attempt the 13-way heart formation was done with some time to spare! It was built by Dave (Macca) McEvoy, Stephen Brett, Adrian Bramwell, Rab McCulloch, Wayne Gannon, Greg Maskell, Millie Spinoza, Jag Wei, Mike Dyer, John Leach, Martin Klapper, Farrell McKay and Kristina Hicks.

Thanks to Steve Fitch and David Brown for capturing the magic!

(to be confirmed…)

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
