Monday 1st July Another week was upon us. Blue skies and light winds made for a very good day of jumping. Glenn Dudley and Jesse Jones did jumps towards their licences. Todd Dowsley and Chris Lees worked towards their accuracy jumps. Resident coach Matt Drew took Jess thru his B-Rel Stage 4. There were 8 full caravan loads for the day. (I told you so, see last Newsletter!)
Tuesday 2nd Once the fog lifted it turned out to be a great day. Our newest skydiver Adam Dovick spent the day in the classroom with instructor Sara and completed Stage 1 in the afternoon. New Jumper Keith McPherson dropped in for a few jumps today, Adrian coached Keith through a few B-Rel Stages.

Congrats to all that took the leap with us. Adam Dovick flew through Stages 2, 3 & 4 of his AFF Course. William Pardoe did a refresher. Tiago completed B-Rel 5 with Shelby and Oli.
Thursday 4th – The winds started picking up today but it was still jumpable. Adam Dovick completed AFF Stages 5 & 6. Todd Worked on his B-Rel jumps with coach Oli. Tiago and Chris worked together and passed their B-Rel Stage 6.
Friday 5th Funtastic Friday was upon us and so were the clouds. Only 4 loads for today due to the weather. Adam Dovick completed AFF Stage 7. Adam also took this opportunity to learn how to pack his own parachute.
Saturday 6th – Once the clouds blew away the blue skies were out, we managed to get 4 loads in before the weather turned again. New skydivers today were Callum Lundon, Steve Simons, Kala Squires and Patrick Gallagher who all did a Tandem, congrats. Adam Dovick did AFF Stages 8 & 9 – completing his Course.

It was a disappointing day but a great night. Ben got to be President again.
Sunday 7th – The weather was a little better today. Our only Tandem for today was Zoe Chu, happy birthday! Luke Moller finally got in the air and completed Stages 1, 2 & 3 of his AFF Course.

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
