Nigel

Maybe you should try and Tunnel Camp?

There's been a little bit of feedback in the forum on my site

www.ukfreefly.com

Nigel

Has anyone been to a Freefly Tunnel comp before?

How do they usually work?

Thanks

Nigel

Council Nominations had to be in by the 24th October,
I started doing some work for Bodyflight on the 9th November, So it couldn't be listed in 'Information on Candidates' that came with the mag and ballot cards.

Sorry once again for any confusion, I just feel i should be honest.

If anyone has any serious questions or issues please feel free to contact me [email protected]

i have no financial connections with Skydiving

I would like to clarify something quickly (don’t want
anyone getting the wrong impression),

I run www.ukfreefly.com which is an information
site for Freeflyers in the UK as I don’t think we get
enough info (something I do go on about a LOT ), It
has no connection with the BPA, I do not make any
money from it, but it has cost me to set up, So i do
not see this as a Business.

Also, I have recently been doing some work at
Bodyflight Bedford decorating the Bunk Rooms
(unfortunately doing nothing
skydiving/coaching/tunnel-related apart from cleaning
the screens!) and have sold some of the tunnel time
that I own but with the prior knowledge of the owner
that I am doing this. I am NOT a dealer for
Bodyflight. I don't see this as a business
as selling the tunnel time that I own is technically
the same as selling a second-hand canopy etc.

I am actually employed as a Firefighter in West
Sussex.

Hope this is okay and doesn't change anyones views.

I wasn't really saying anything about fun jumpers, I guess my choice of wording wasn't ideal, but i was just trying to cover everyone in the sport.

Regards what the Council actually do,
The Council is divided into Committees, they are Competitions, Communications and Development.
There's also the STC, which is made up of CCI's.
They all have their own meetings, which are minuted and then go to council to get accepted,
Council Meetings also cover other areas, but what's discussed changes all the time.

We have a Council Meeting tonight and everyone is welcome along.
Existing Council will be there and those standing for Council should be there too if you would like to know a bit more before you vote.

Nigel

I agree with what Sweep said (all except his recommeneded votes of course! teehee)

The Council needs a good blend of people from DZO's, CCI's, Instructors, Packers and even Fun Jumpers.
That way we represent the majority of opinions within the Skydiving Community.

Nigel

As for Dumi...... ha..... ha.....

Okay... Well.....

I am currently the Artistics Rep, at just 25 i am the Youngest Council member, But i'm not scared of the older people

I want to see the development of our sport, and because i have no financial connections with Skydiving, I help push what will benefit the jumpers, and not peoples back pockets.

Nigel

Hi everybody,
Hopefully you'll all now have your December Skydive Mag and would've found the Council election forms in the pack,

I would just like to say..... "Please Vote for Me!!"

There are 22 candidates and 15 spaces, of which you have 15 votes.
You do NOT have to use all 15 votes, but you must mark each candidate with "YES or NO" If you don't, it will be invalid, and last time a couple of hundred were invalid.
So if you want to say 'YES' for less than 15 (i.e Just Me ) and 'NO' for everyone else.... That would be okay too!

Please use your vote, It takes only a few moments to do!

Nigel Holland

(Sorry for changing the subject! Whoops!)

Fabian is there this weekend and Babylon are there all week,
So when you coming down!?

Nigel

Check out the thread on Bedford being adjusted,
The Freeflying staff have definately noticed a change,

Nigel

Good to see Rob Silver, Chris Lynch and Andy Newell representing Great Britain!!

Nigel

Yeah i was there on Monday from 11am - 2pm and i am pretty sure we didn't pay to park, and we were parked in the spaces by the side right by the Tunnel

Nigel

Do you win a prize if you get through the 2nd Door?

Nigel

You've flown in both haven't you?

Nigel

Yes i am one of those people,

Nigel

I called the Montague Pyke, We have an area reserved,
However, the normal area already has a group of 40 in it,
So we were given two options,
1/ Right in the Front Entrance
2/ Upstairs

So i went for the upstairs option, as i hope it will be at bit warmer!
Its No Smoking though......

If anyone has any major problem with this please let me know and i will change it,
It will also cost £10 again so bring your 50p 'subs'

As for the videos, Yes, the MP has always let us put videos on! But they must be on VHS as the DVD player isn't on the same system.

As for the December Piss-Up, what would people like to do? The 4th Thursday is the 22nd, the one before is the 15th.
But they have rightfully said that Booking with Food will take priority.

And about the Curzon vs. Pyke, You save over 50p per drink in comparison so it's not really an issue.
Maybe 2006 can be a new year and new venue!?

Nigel

England beat the Australians in Australia,
It will be just as much fun when they beat New Zealand in New Zealand

On the down (maybe even up) side, For those staying in thr UK, we'll be back to Live matches at 8am and everyone drunk and fighting by lunch time!

Nigel

That's exactly what i meant
