Saturday was disappointing, the weather was not good. We only managed 2 loads between rain showers. However Frank Henderson got Stage 2 done. The bar opened early. It was a nice drop of much needed rain.
On Sunday the weather was great. Emily Smith and Khadija Ahmed both did a Tandem. Clinton Howard and Pulin Cui were back and did their AFF Stage 3. Frank Henderson continued on and did AFF Stages 3. 4 & 5. Helen Mendes did Stages 6, 7 & 8 and Shuyi (Shirley) Zheng did Stages 7 & 8. The week ended on a high. Lots of smiling happy students and about 25 fun jumpers made the most of it. Our new AFF instructors are getting some good jumps in.
