Photos Missed From Last Week:
This newsletter was supposed to start from Wednesday but most of the week was rained and/or blown out! So it’s Newsletter time and it’s Friday 9th of March. And still the weather was “iffy”. We had some freeflyers about. Mason and his crew did 3 loads. Great sausage sizzle, thanks Doyley.
And you guessed it, on Saturday the weather was only just jumpable for the first load in the morning. The flatties were dirt dived ready for a hot load but it was not to be. Our new students Robert Peter Lyndon, Charles Grevell and Drew McDade started their 1st Jump Course and got Stage 1 done in the afternoon when we managed two more windy jumps. But people were leaving. The DZ was looking bare.
Holly and John Leach were here bright and early Saturday morning to start the TSC Working Bee to paint the bar. A few more members chipped in on Saturday and got the job done. Well done Holly for getting it going, and John and the Team!
It was similar Sunday. Good weather, bad weather. Only the die-hards remained. Our Tandems were Ben Canning and Hayden Williams, both mates of jumpers. Student Brandon Petterssen managed Stage 8.
Mason’s crew were still at it and at least picked up some good info as well as more than a few jumps.
And yeah, you guessed it again. On Monday the weather was perfect! Load four is in the air now.
See ya,
Macca and the Ramblers Team.

Ben Canning – That was the maddest thing ever. Thanks Adrian.
Awesome Autumn
Ramblers Super Savings Initiatives
…for the month of March only!
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.
