Thanks to our super skilled camera dudes Michael Young, Steve Fitch and David Brown, and as ever, our sponsors – Skydive Ramblers, South Queensland Parachute Council, Toogoolawah Skydivers Club Inc, and Mee Loft for making Belly Bash possible!
Next Belly Bash will be 25th May! Get it in the diary!”
