Hi guys Marcus is organising a B Rel/ Freefly coaching day at Langhorne Creek on Saturday the 17th of March. There is a link attached to the Facebook event page. Check it out and get in contact with Marcus ASAP to organise what jumps you are after. Don't forget the SASPC offers the $20 rebate for all B-rels on completion. Good reason to get out there and get jumping.

South Australian CReW record awaiting official judging!

Wednesday, 07 March 2012 11:22 Laura Nicole Watson

There was a lot of activity around Lower Light over the weekend, with CReW dogs and Wingsuiting possums along with the flat and free flyers. Under the careful direction of Jules we made significant ground building canopy formation techniques and topped it off by building a 10 stack on Saturday afternoon. Congratulations to those involved: Dale Butterworth, Al, Vlasto, Tommaso, Ben Barclay, Laura, Chris, Ricky (WA man), Jules, and Splatt. Thank you to Curtis for doing some amazing camera work. Photos have been sent to the APF for official judging...!

Hello Skydivers

This is my first report to you all since being elected.

It is our aim as a committee, to guide the club as best we can, in line with our constitution and what our members want. To this end, we have already held, and have several seminars in the planing. Also we will be running a survey in the near future to enable us to understand what it is exactly that S.A.’s skydivers want and expect from our club.

The club has already seen some growth in member numbers since the last AGM when the current team was elected as committee.

So far we have focussed on the 50th celebrations. Several fantastic displays started all this off, Valentines day jump into the parklands. Night jumps into Adelaide Soccer Club, Aldinga Drop Zone jumps and to kick off the official dinner, A demo into the actual dinner venue at the Grange Golf Club.

All who attended enjoyed the fantastic official dinner and the Boogie at Lower Light, a great success to all those involved. A big thanks to Curtis Morton for his tireless effort in making this happen

The publication of a special 50th anniversary book was run in conjunction with these celebrations. It is a fantastic volume full of history, anecdotes and glossy pictures highlighting the past 50 years of our amazing sport. A special mention to the effort of Steve Swan for all his icredible work in ceating this book.

For those who missed out on this opportunity, the 50th anniversary book is still available at your local drop zone. For the memory sake well worth the investment of $50.

Last years Christmas party was held at Langhorne Creek. With many attending a great evening.

This year the seminars have already began, with Callum Hunter organizing Matt Harris to come over and tutor an intermediate Canopy Flying seminar. Those that attended all had a great time and learnt new skills and improved their flying styles.

Al Gray is making us turbine happy again in March (2nd -5th). the SASPC will be running three events in line with this. For those younger jumpers we will be taking full advantage of the 17 seats by running a starcrest program (tutor to be announced). For the growing flockers in the state, Hayden will be here coaching, flocking and aiming to set the states first flocking record. Finally for the CReW dogs, the lovely Jules McConnel will be here coaching us to attempt to break the states CReW record.

April will see a 2-way scrambles competition to be held at Goolwa D.Z.

May a 4-way rel tutoring course

There has recently been a suggestion that a regular social function be held so we can meet in the true fashion of a club. Stay tuned for details.

Well fellow skydivers that brings you all up to date. Please feel free to contact any of us with your suggestions and ideas.

Fifty Years of South Australian Skydiving

Wednesday, 10 November 2010 18:50 Benjamin Wright

As most of us know, South Australian Skydiving has quite a history, spanning several years and Steve Swann is in the process of putting this all onto a webpage, in his words :

"The aim of this site is to build an extensive archive of material, charting the history of sport parachuting in South Australia.
But it’s only just begun. We need photos, videos and your ideas for stories or sections which can be added.

And if you know the whereabouts of any old jumpers let us know.We want to ensure the 50th anniversary event in November 2011 is a huge success, bringing together jumpers from the past half century."

Also, Geoff Cooling penned up a South Australia Sport Parachute Club (SASPC) history article which can be found here and another Steve Swan page with historic photos here.
