Attention all skydivers!

Finally the jump day is approaching! The activity for the day would be as follow:

0800: first wave set off to the airfield (2 cars)
0915: safety briefing and prepare for jump
0930: second wave set off (2 cars)
1000: first batch of jumpers
1100: BBQ lunch*
1200: first wave ppl return to GLC (1 car)
1700: End and head back to GLC ( 3 cars)

All jumpers would be briefed about the equipment on the ground for 40 mins before the jump. The plane takes about 3-5 jumpers at a time. It takes 10 mins to go up to 12,000 feet and it takes about 45 mins for all jumpers to complete the jump. All in all, each batch of jumpers takes about an hour and a half to complete the whole process.

The whole event would last the whole day and there will be fringe activities to keep those that are waiting entertained. There would be a barbeque pit set up in the hanger for us to cook our lunch. There will be video screening of all the skydiving videos and also the immediate playback of the videos of our jumpers (please let me know whether you want a video recording).

Attire:
1. T shirt
2. Shorts/slacks
3. Sneakers
(jump suit is worn over, change of clothes if necessary)

Money:
1. Deposit - $75
2. Remainder - $55

Ice Hockey - Atlanta Trashers vs Washington, 4th April

Hope everyone enjoyed the trip up Smoky Mountains.

Wei is extending her housemate's invitation to GIP for the Ice Hockey game where Atlanta Trashers will be playing against Washington. The reason why it is being organised so early is because game tickets for wednesdays are 2 tix for the price of 1. So the next home game on a Wednesday is 4th April.

"The tickets will be $14 each plus a $3.50 booking/postage charge making $17.50 per person. (The tickets are half price so they are in the $28 location!)"

Leave your name in comments, whether interested or not interested, by 8th Mar (this thursday). The earlier we book, we can choose our seats, all seated together, and pick the best seats available.

p/s: I know many of you read this blog. While people work hard to organise, will still require the coorperation of the rest. Many went smoky mountain, but few had actually indicated they are going until needed to be asked verbally. Will sincerely appreciate if we can have have this system in place and save the time from asking people around.

GIP Ahead....
Mar 10 - Lookout Mountain
Mar 17 - Depart for Florida
Mar 25 - Return from Florida
Mar 31 - Skydiving?
Apr 07 - Skydiving (backup)
Apr 14 - Whitewater rafting
Apr 21 - Unplanned
Apr 28 - Study weekend
