Hey all,
Yes I know it's been a while, but just had a email from Jayjay and thought I should show my face ( so to speak ) on the forum again.
I still don't have another camper, BUT I have just bought myself a new parachute ( yea ha splat!! ) and have done about 30 jumps in the last three weeks, very cool fun.
What have I missed in the last couple of months?
I will be heading to NZ for a BBQ end of November ( 4 days in NZ and 4 days travel, yep I am mad ) but it should be fun.
Anyone thought about new meets, I still have a tent!!!
Cheers
Dave

Hiya Dave! That's two of us here without a camper now!  I'm looking for a Kip van, but they are rare to get hold of, so I'm expecting a long wait! And needing a lot of patience to scour the net everyday in case one is listed somewhere! I'm hoping to get something before next spring when the prices start rising! LOL! Looking forward to another meet.... would be nice to be back in Oxford at the site we had the meet at in Spring, a very nice site indeed. maybe next Spring? |

Hi Dave Welcome back  We thought you had deserted us, we were thinking perhaps a meet around May time when the weather is (hopefully) starting to pick up and before people go on their holidays. Oxford would be good, do you think they would have us back after last times aborted attempt at a meet? Graham |

Good to see you here Dave, glad you haven't deserted us  Parachute? You must be mad - the only ones I would use are the children's play ones ;D Perhaps you could bring it to the next meet and we could play Parachute Games with it  |

You must be mad - the only ones I would use are the children's play ones ;D Perhaps you could bring it to the next meet and we could play Parachute Games with it Hi Pauline, If we can pick a site by an airfield, I am sure we can all play with my parachute  I would love to do another meet, I am more than happy to organise again for next year, but it would need to be after April as I will be in NZ for March and April. Any ideas about were everyone may like? ( OOOOOO can I start a new poll hu, can I, please  ) If you are interested, here is a link to my first three skydives ( just so you know why you are going to want to do this after I have spent long enough talking you into it HEHE ) www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGK7OUeYZ3sCheers Dave |

Dave, you are a brave brave man, or a mad mad man, I'm not sure which. ;D As Dabs says you can definitely count me out too, I get giddy at the top of a step ladder.  Graham |

Hi Dave
Welcome back. The idea of a May meet could clash with the 25th AGM of the Roma club, unfortunately they don't seem to have given an exact date in their latest magazine. If anyone knows the organisers perhaps they could find out.

Wow, what a scary thing to do, not for me I am not as daring as that.
