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!

Hey guys,
Thanks for running the Learning Curve Camp last week! It was run to your usual high standard and was a very beneficial experience, especially given my lack of currency after the main COVID closures. I thoroughly enjoy attending these weeks and really appreciate the time dedicated by the whole team at Ramblers, including the instructors, manifest, cafe team, aviation crew/pilots, and support staff. You are all legends and I look forward to coming out again in the near future. 
Cheers, Adam.
