Monday 28th  Beautiful start to the week. Tandem for today was Elijah Richman. Student Robert McGavock completed Stage 2 of his AFF Course. The local fun jumpers kept the plane turning with 6 loads for the day.

Back in the air again after two years Tuesday Robert McGavock fast tracked his AFF Course doing Stage 3, Stage 6 & Stage 7.

Wednesday. Too windy to jump today, student Matthias Stubbe did a refresher course.

Thursday. Robert McGavock did Stages 8 & 9 – completing his AFF! Congratulations.

Friday 1st of February. Funtastic Friday, 5 loads went up.

The Tandem Saturday 2nd was Ermiyas Olano. Will Sawyer was back working on his B-rel jumps.

Star Crest Saturday

“At the star crest day on 2 February we had only one jump, and it was a classic.  It had it all – humour, pathos, excitement and victory.  For Gio anyway, as he docked and completed the second of his star crest jumps.  Congratulations Gio.  Number three won’t be far away.
 
We were kept to one jump by weather and low numbers, and made up for it with an exciting jump.  The base took its sweet old time getting together and through it all Gio held back like a pro and waited for his time to dock.  Excellent work all round.  Special thanks to Ollie on camera, Kerry Hook and Andy Pike in the base with me and Johnnie Leach, Wilky and Antony Worrell for helping out and as always, Ramblers for supporting our development efforts with jumpers coming through the ranks.
 
The next ASC day is on Saturday 2 March.  We’d appreciate more of the experienced jumpers helping out, including freeflyers and wingsuiters – these are your mates …”
