Captains Call June 2018
by admin
After a collective breath following the APF Nationals at Nagambie the Aussie Bigway people lead by Tracey Basman are very busy again organising and conducting Bigway Events around the country.
Melissa Harvie and Andrew Barker recently ran a very successful Event at Goulburn DZ and last weekend I was at York DZ, where we had a really great Bigway weekend – Shirley and Joe Rummy are doing a fantastic job rallying the troops to the cause over there. This weekend I am heading to Lower Light DZ in S.A. for a Long Weekend Bigway Camp using TWO aircraft – a Fletcher and a Cessna 182 or 206.
This is all in preparation for the last P3 Event we will be holding in Australia before Perris in May next year, the Aussie Bigways Premier Event for 2018 with Larry Henderson. Registration opened only last week and it is almost full – a fantastic result !
There are a few slots left [at the moment] so get in quick, remember those dates:
Sat 29 Sept – Fri 5 Oct 2018
Skydive Ramblers, Toogoolawah
Well it is now just UNDER 12 months before our Australian National Record Event starts at Perris Valley – this means it is 3 years since we set the current Australian Large Formation Record of 119 on 31st May 2015 at Perris Valley USA. It also means it is about two and a half years since we started this journey to get enough suitably qualified and experienced Aussies [Citizens and Permanent Residents] to commit to this event next May, again back at Perris Valley under the magnificent direction and coaching of the P3 Team. Remember those very important dates too:
May 23 to 25, 2019 – Aussie Big Way Camp
May 27 to 29, 2019 – Aussie Big Way Camp
May 31 to June 3, 2019 – Aussie Record
And if your really motivated and have the time and money then look what else is going on that month BEFORE our Event at Perris Valley:
May 2 to 5, 2019 – P3 Big Way Camp
May 9 to 12, 2019 – P3 100 Way Training Camp
May 16 to 19, 2019 – P3 Spring Fling
We are placing lots of information and tips on our Aussiebigways website with about getting to the event, where to stay, what facilities there are on the DZ and local area information – have a read and if you intend coming then NOW is the time to start organising your work, holidays, travel, for next year.
Blue Ones,
Greg
