B-Rels, Coach- & Fun Jumps (22 Dec. 2025 – 4 Jan. 2026)

Thursday, January 8, 2026

Coaching and B-Rel jumps were in full swing, with Tom smashing through his B-Rels up to Stage 6, supported on many loads by his dad Doug, who filmed and later docked with his son after he had just completed AFF, which was a proud moment all round.

Tane and Peter completed B-Rels Stage 2, Lachlan progressed through B-Rels 2 and 3, William advanced with B-Rels 5 and 6.1, and Savannah and Sam continued working on their B-Rels. Riyane and Phillip completed Refresher jumps to get current again.

Thanks to our coaches Rebecca, Toddy, Li, Adam, Ben, Wayne, and Matthew for their time, guidance, and encouragement.

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.
