Captains Call November 2018

Hello everyone and welcome to November’s edition of our Aussie Bigways Newsletter for 2018.

Our National Record Event in Perris Valley is closer again, just 7 months from now we will be there – with all of the years of preparation behind us and the actual Event right in front of us!!

Perris Registration

Registration for Perris opened on the P3 Website at the beginning of September and already there are 45 Aussies registered along with several “Friends of Aussies” who are keen to jump with us over the Event – May 23 to Jun 03, 2019.

Register using the P3 icon link:

Some people have asked about registration payments, the easiest way is by credit card, once accepted the response back is:

“Thank you for applying to the Aussie National Record 2019.  It is our pleasure to inform you that your application for all three camps, May 23- June 3, has been ACCEPTED.  Please be aware that your slot on the Record Event (May 31 – June 3) is being granted “conditionally” based on your demonstrated performance during camps 1 & 2.

Your credit card information has been verified for deposit and your slot is CONFIRMED.  The amount of $2895.00 USD will be due upon check-in for the event.  Please note that we typically do not run any credit card transactions prior to your arrival (however, cancellation penalties may be charged to the card if you fail to show up or cancel with relatively short notice – please refer to the Cancellation and Refund Policy on the event information web page).  BUT, if you prefer we run your credit card in advance to take advantage of a favourable exchange rate, we can certainly do so.  Just email Brenda L’Heureux at: brenda@p3skydiving.com and she will take care of that for you.

You will have to join USPA before arriving at Skydive Perris. Please go to uspa.org to sign up for a Temporary Membership. They are $30 and are good for 3 months. You can no longer purchase these memberships through the Manifest office. They are online only. Full Memberships (good for 1 year) can still be purchased onsite. If you have any questions, please email brenda@p3skydiving.com“

So, on arrival you could pay cash or another means but nothing comes off your card at the point of registration, so if your IN please go to:  www.p3skydiving.com  get yourself registered.

Tunnel Time up for Grabs!

Also remember as encouragement to get people to register early there will be regular draws from the names of people whom have registered [first draws will be early December during Dan BC’s Event] with prizes of Wind Tunnel time up for grabs.   No cost involved, if your registered for Perris then your name is in the draw and the winners will be notified ASAP and broadcast here by this means.

Since last I wrote we have held our very, very successful Premier Event for 2018 at Toogoolawah with the awesome Larry Henderson making the trip over to represent the P3 Team and lead the event.  As most will be aware we set a new National Sequential Record of a 2-point 45 way and just like Nagambie in 2016 and Moruya in 2017 we were able to put up multiple successful attempts of this record on the same day, which resulted in 3 successful attempts giving an amazing 80 participants a Record!!   An fantastic result and congratulations to everyone who attended.

Lastly, even though Toogoolawah with Larry Henderson is our last advertised “Premier Aussiebigways Event” for 2018, once again your National Events Coordinator Tracey Basman has done an amazing job and we have got the one and only Dan BC coming back to jump with us all again – this time at Moruya 06 to 09 December 2018   Awesome effort Tracey!! Please go to our website for details and the registration process

     

 

 In the meantime jump safe everyone and keep working on your bigway skills and preparing for next year at Perris.

Blue Ones,

Greg
