Hi Everyone!
We've had a busy few months here on the committee with League 12/13 coming to an end, our Skydivers Ball and 2F2F event.
Here's the wrap up of events so far:
Firstly, a big congratulations to Load 4/ReLoaded and Chuck Norris Returns for taking out Gold for Inter and Open 4-Way FS. ReLoaded went on to compete at the Nationals in Toogs and managed to bring home a Bronze medal!
After a false start with bad weather, we successfully ran our City Jumps event, held over Royal Park. We had a great turn out of jumpers, most of which this was a first (I'm pretty sure beer is still owed), running 3 loads from Commando's very own AirVan and carefully managed by Jan and Mayday.
The Annual Skydiver's Ball was once again held at Tonik in Kensington where everyone shared a drink (or 4) with their peers to celebrate a successful year in skydiving. Teams were awarded medals for League and State Championships, with Chuck Norris Returns winning the Simon Moline Trophy and individual awards were presented to Carsten (Gillard Medal) and Colin (Tim Bates Camera Award). Not to mention that Phil McComb won the door prize - an Icarus Voucher!
Lastly, we had our 2nd 2F2F event in May. Five teams came together to jump carefully devised jumps to test skill levels and of course, friendly competition, though you wouldn't have thought that judging by some people (Rossi). Over three rounds, there was tight competition with eventual winners being "Half Speed", represented by Steph Vaughan and Dan Rossi who narrowly beat favourites "Toe Plungers". Winners won Sonic Vouchers and medals. There was talk of a 4th round, but ended up with running two 6-ways instead as a good way to finish the day.
A special thanks to the coaches on the day, Ryan, Hass, Steve, Jon and Lins (whom also organised the jumps and judged for the day) for donating their time to this great event. Last but not least, to Skydive Nagambie for supporting the event.
As the season is drawing to a close, Relworkers would like to extend it's thanks to the support of it's Sponsors; Icarus, Cookie, SonicFlywear, SkyWerx, Skydive Nagambie and Australian Skydive.
In addition, memberships will be up for renewal come July 1st and we need your participation to help us continue to deliver these events.

We still have events coming up - SpeedStars Flat Vs Vertical is on 25th May at Australian Skydive (BridgeWater) and we're looking to run 4W4E1 Revisited tentatively.
