Wednesday through to Saturday had wind and low cloud, so everyone stayed on the ground. All our students got thorough lessons in parachute packing, general knowledge and stretching, whilst there was no skydiving.

TSC had their Christmas Party on Saturday evening. A great meal was put on by the canteen and lot of fun was had by all.
