Some of the guys (who started here at Toogoolawah years ago) were training for National Canopy Championships.

Australia Day Friday 26th January. Aussie Day tandems were Cory Macey, Terri-Anne Emery, Ellen Bingham, Sherilea & David Litzow – who was also celebrating his Birthday.

Jumpers Danielle Riley & Geoff Bingham also celebrated Birthdays (and jumped) today. All the Binghams were here! Kim Bingham was back for her first jump “in years”. Just like riding a bike, hey Kim?

It was a beaut day. Charlie the 182 did 9 loads of hop & pops and the Caravan took another 45 fun jumpers for nine loads.

Saturday was bigger! There was only a few loads in the 182 but our Caravan Marj was kept busy. The fun jumpers swelled in numbers and something and everything was happening. Amber Parras came around for a tandem.  Keith Gardiner did Stages 2 & 3 of his Introductory Course, lots of B-Rels were going on and the Staff did some posing for our new promo releases.

It was a good thing Saturday was action packed. Sunday 28th was on weather hold. Cloud dase and wind meant Hop ‘n’ Pops and experienced jumpers only. Go the 182!   Bring on the Learning Curve Camp!
