Belly Bash
“Massive thanks to everyone who ignored the weatherman and came out to Belly Bash on Saturday! Despite forecasts of wall-to-wall rain, we somehow managed to get 2 epic jumps in before things got soggy and we hit the bar! We started off with some dynamic cogging donuts, followed by a bipole jewel, which turned into a big roundy surrounding Doug Prior to celebrate his 60th Birthday. Happy Birthday Doug!!
Thanks again to our sponsors, Ramblers, TSC, SQPC and Mee Loft for making Belly Bash possible and our super talented camera dudes Steve Fitch and Michael Young. See you at the next Belly Bash on March 23rd!”

Reviews & Visitor Book Comments
⭐️ Gundi – “Hi All, We thoroughly enjoyed everything. Angela, Sara, Andrew (my instructor) Ty (my non-English speaking stepson) young Tyler on camera. All so very professional. Video was excellent and about the stills, not a complaint or criticism but just way too many. Hate Facebook so you have zero chance of me getting on there, but you already have a 5***** review on Google. Thanks to everyone involved. Gundi (aka Brian Caldwell)”
⭐️ Brenden – “Thank you again.”
⭐️ Nicholas – “Awesome experience once again cheers Oli.”

An absolute Blast. Totally exhilarating. Sarah, my diving buddy was totally professional and competent. She rehearsed my moves. Gave me an opportunity to bail (which was never going to happen but would have been appreciated by a possible nervous type), was a very good tourist guide on the climb out so fabulous experience all round.
Thanks to everyone there.
Cheers, Carol.
