On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday it might have been slow, but it didn’t stop Will from France, he did between 5-10 jumps a day!! He clocked up quite a few jumps out of the 182. Other fun jumpers also did a few but Wills was on every load!
The weekend was also a bit quiet. Our tandems Saturday were Willem Neill, Daniel & Wade Grindal, Kelly-Anne Colley, Daniel Willett & Shayne Pointon.

Jim Czerwinski’s new 10 way speed star team, the Togoogala Ten, got 4 practice jumps in, their first day of training for next year’s POPS World Meet at Nagambie.
On Sunday it was quiet. The weather started not good and people left early. However Robert Muller came for a tandem and waited for a break in the weather, it was his surprise birthday present. His patience was rewarded with a jump with Scotty.

Visitor Book Comments

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.
