| Goodbye & Thanks |

By Stefan Radtke on 30/12/2003 30th December, 2003 Hello everybody, Because I left quite in a rush on Monday I want to say goodbye to the guys I didn’t get to before I went to the airport. Thanks for your patience when I had some difficulties with the language and asked you to repeat everything the third time. I think you did a great job to get me into skydiving. Thanks to the guys who helped me with the questions for the A-licence. I learned a lot by listening to you, and special thanks to Blakey, Ben, Wayne and Ben C. for the hybrid jump on Monday. It was awsome and I think I'll never forget this one!! Have a good time and have good fun during the boogie. Thanks, Stefan Radtke |

By Meredith Scales on 06/12/2003 Hi to you all, I just wanted to let you know how impressed with your organisation I was. I did my first tandem skydive yesterday and from the moment I booked it until receiving my video I just felt very comfortable and was impressed by the professionalism of all concerned. In fact that what was convinced me to use you over your competitors - There is nothing I can say explicitly but your website presentation and brochure just all have little touches or words which seemed more professional to me than your competitors. This was born out from as soon as I booked with Miranda taking details and trusting me to do the skydive because she was about to go on a jump. When I phoned the following week to check if I needed to send a deposit Miranda told me that it was OK. So I was trusted therefore I am more likely to trust you! On my arrival on Sunday Susie made me feel welcome and was honest about The danger of the sport and when I may feel most apprehensive - jumping out of the plane -and she was right! Then Merlise (I hope you know who I mean) came to introduce herself because she would be taking the video and stills and again tried to put me at my ease. Then I met Luke and despite his joking I again immediately felt comfortable. I was impressed with the way he and the other tandem operators explained what would happen and what they need me or the others to do. It was clear and concise without being patronising. The suiting up was also done well with constant checks of the equipment and securing of the harness. The flight was well managed but nothing seemed to be taken for granted. And the final video was well edited with appropriate music and just general care. For people who deal with lots of different people in all sorts of states of anxiety/nervousness all the Ramblers personnel with whom I had contact were courteous, caring and professional and obviously enjoyed what they did and seemed happy to share it again and again. Thank you ALL! Meredith Scales |

By Andrew Winter on 17/11/2003 To all the gang at Ramblers, Just a short note that I got home safe. After Ramblers I ended up at Airlie Beach for a while and am now checking myself into the Betty Ford clinic to re-establish my kidneys as a functioning organ once again. Anyway I just wanted to say I had a great week up there and can’t wait to get back. I learned a lot about skydiving, chilling out and just not worrying about what was going on with the outside world. Bottom line I had a top time even if I did forget my rig. Thanks John, for looking after it mate. My shout for a carton when I get back. Tell Marlies I will be hassling Robbo to help me work on my exits and we will be back up at Xmas to jump and party and who knows maybe get my starcrest. Take it easy guys. See you soon and thanks again. Cheers, Andrew Winter |

By Wayne Lingard on 14/11/2003 Hi Guys, I just wanted to write and say, thank you guys so much for an awesome experience last Sunday morning. After several attempts and 7 months waiting it was great to finally challenge myself to do it. Like, just jump out of a plane at 12,000 ft, yeah piece a cake. It was such an incredible feeling..............., hell I think I'm just going to have to come and do it again. I watch the video and feel the feelings all over again, I then think that this could become very addictive. You all made it such a wonderful experience, from taking all 8 of us down to the airport to see me getting prepared, then taking them back to the drop zone. Cool, calm, friendly and professional instruction. Great scenic flight up to height. Then the Jump itself.......(I can feel it again). Some really cool video footage (including the shot of Rob's feet dancing through the sky, we just love that bit ) with some fabulous music edited in and great stills as well. Thanks Jo for convincing me to get the video. It is sooooo worth it. Well I hope you get the impression that I am really happy, 'cause that's what I am. So to Jo, Wayne, Rob, Wade and Dave thanks heaps guys, hope to see ya again soon. Wayne Lingard |

By Paula Williams on 26/05/2003 Hi Rob and Wayne, My best friend and I jumped last Monday (May 19) and I just wanted to say thank you so much... Our jump was AWSOME!! Even though we had perfect conditions it was made even better because of you guys. I didn't think that I would be so calm, I thought I would get a little nervous. Rob, thanks for making it soooo much FUN! I can't wait to do it again... Also, thanks for the 2nd video, I thought all my memories had been chewed up! Hope to see you again soon... Paula Williams |

By Tanya Piper on 26/05/2003 Just to say once again, THANK YOU! to your fine crew: Jo & Wayne Morrison, Dave the pilot, Rob and Wade. Your professionalism and fantastic sense of humour made our first time experience at sky diving a memorable one. We have been recommending your crew to anyone who has a heartbeat, and is up for the challenge. My children: Darren, Tina and all their friends who joined them in the jump (plus those of us who spectated the even) thoroughly enjoyed the day. Your team certainly live up to the Ramblers motto: FAMOUS FOR FUN. Thank you, Tanya Piper |

By Tina Krouse on 10/04/2003 To Wayne, Rob, Jo, Dave & the Wade, I'd like to say a big thankyou for all the effort you put in to make Darrens 21st birthday (6th April) a blast! You made it easy to face our fears and made great company. Skydiving has been the topic of conversation all week and we look forward to doing it again (but this time at night!) Well, hope to see you all soon. Until then take care! TINA KROUSE |
