dzswoop717 5 #1 August 18, 2014 Does your dz do anything to promote good vibes with the neighbors? Maytown Sport Parachute Club sends their neighbors a fruit basket at Christmas. What other ways do DZ's reach out to their neighboring land owners to keep the peace? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
galispo 0 #2 August 18, 2014 Netheravon DZ in the UK did an "open doors" day for their neighbours in order to improve their relationship with the local village. They sent invitations to the locals and prepared a fun day for all, kids and adults. They prepared a quick talk about the sport and aircraft operation, a couple of activities for kids, videos, etc. Finally, they ended with a small demo. I wasn't there, but I heard it was a huge success and now the local village is, not only much more friendly towards the operation, but quite proud they have it around their homes. They did in on a quiet day for DZ operation, and if you consider doing it, make sure you select well the skydivers which will interact with the guests, so your guests can se we are "normal" men and women with regular lives, kids and jobs, just like them.Rob Gallo "To strive, to seek, to find and not to yield."
