I have always wanted to do a sky dive and when I had a significant birthday
this year and coupled with my captaincy I decided the time was right to achieve
something on my bucket list.
So along with my Niece, Nephew and Brother in Law, we went to Salisbury and
jumped from 15000ft (2.8 miles) which is the highest altitude that you can jump
from in the UK. Once the training was over we took to the skies and when we
reached the height we (in tandem) jumped out if the plane, reaching a speed of
125 mph in free fall for one minute was probably the scariest but most
exhilarating experience I have ever had and when we were 5000ft from the ground
the chute was released and slowing down to a speed of 30 mph we came to the
ground. It was amazing.
I self-funded the jump and photos/video therefore all the £1100 raised
along with the rest of the funds raised for the Captains Charity this year to
Macmillan Cancer Support.
All funds raised will be presented at the AGM
Here is the link to the video and some photos will be posted soon.
Can you also promote the Charity Golf Day on Friday 11th November, an 11am
shotgun start with one course meal after and presentation, raffle and charity
auction. Posters are already up In the clubhouse - it's £100 to enter a 4 ball
team or £25 per person if anyone wants to buddy up with others. there is a
spreadsheet in the wall in the putting studio, I will be in touch prior to the
