Monday 23rd December. We were off to a great start for the week. There were 5 loads and enough jumpers to fill them. Our two Tandems today were Reiney Harrington and Cooper Southey. Len Park did Stage 5 of his AFF Course and Adam Chow completed his AFF with his Stage 9. Congratulations!
On Tuesday Len Park did AFF Stages 5 & 6. There were 3 loads and 13 jumpers here. We were closed on Christmas Day. On Thursday our newest skydivers were Nicholas Love, Cameron Booth, Kirsha Rayson & Cody Rayson who all did a Tandem. Len Park did Stages 7, 8 & 9 – completing his AFF. Well done mate! There were 4 loads and 18 jumpers here.
On Friday the pace started to pick up. 24 jumpers took to the skies. Rosie’s brother Jack Dodson dropped by for a Tandem. Peter Ashton did AFF Stage 1. There were 5 loads for the day. Ellen Bingham jumped her brand new pink rig!
Saturday was a funny sort of day. There were lots of skydivers here, 32 in fact, but the weather was overcast early and the day was slow to start. However Harpreet Singh was our next First Jump student and he did his Stage 1. Peter Ashton did Stages 2 & 3. Ella Melvin, Trent Byrne, Emma Lampe and Brendan Jenkins all got their Tandem jump done.
Sunday was a much better day. More jumpers arrived. Plus three more Tandem jumpers. Craig Truesdale, Philip Booth and Joanne Booth all got their knees in the breeze. Kristina Truedale did AFF Stage 7. Brenden Pont was our third Stage 9 for the week, well done! 37 skydivers helped fill the 7 loads that were done. It was another great week.
See ya!

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
