Monday 10th  June. The Learning Curve Camp started. It was a bit weather affected but good day time seminars were the go. Our newest student Alfred Zhe Xi Ng did Stage 1 of his AFF Course, while Julian Morris did Stage 8.  There were 3 loads for the day with a few fun jumpers and novices progressing through the B-Rel jumps.

Tuesday  Alfred kept at it with AFF Stages 2 & 3.  It was a beaut LCC day with 5 loads and 24 jumpers here to fill them. Harvey’s landing shots were well received at the evening seminar.

Wednesday  Julian Morris got Stage 9 done – completing his AFF!  It was a good day, there were 4 loads and 16 jumpers still hoping for slightly better weather.

On Thursday  it was a better day. As well as the LCC jumpers here Hannah Billington dropped by an a Tandem.  Also we had two new students. Amanda Jones and Glenn Dudley did Stage 1 of the AFF Course.  There were 5 loads and 9 jumpers.

Friday  was a beauty, right through to the evening seminars. More people arrived for the last day of the Learning Curve Camp. The bonfire fired up and there were 6 loads done and 22 jumpers here doing all sorts of jumps.

Saturday  was a “mixed weather day”! Our only Tandem was birthday girl Ella Rheinberger who came all the way from Warwick and was rewarded with a break in the weather. Night jumps were scheduled for the evening and two loads ended up taking off in beautiful clear night skies. More than 40 jumpers enjoyed the day and the bonfire and jumps that night.

Sunday was a bit of a slow one. Again the weather was a bit disheartening. There were 4 Cessna 182 H & P loads. Then, just as the afternoon storm clouds rolled in the only Caravan load of diehards went up and helped Burkey and Robin do their 400th and 500th jumps. Great way to end the week!

See ya!
