Ramblers Reunion

What a great night it was!🎉 Thanks to all who came out for the Reunion, so good to see all your faces again!

“WoW!!. Firstly, Thanks Macca, Ramblers and all the Ramblers team for hosting the Reunion.
Marty’s cocktails by the pool were on point!! Thanks Marty It’s was so amazing to catch up and reminisce with so many old friends. I’m tipping there was over 100 people. Everywhere you turned there were bloody legends of our sport that made the evening so wonderful. Thankyou all for attending.  Elise from the Cafe did a fantastic job. Thanks Elise For all the folks who came from afar. Bloody legendary effort.  It was just what I needed. My heart is very full!!

First skydiving experience and it couldn’t have been better, I had the time of my life and felt so safe throughout the whole tandem. A very welcoming space and awesome people.
