bluefingers 0 #1 August 20, 2003 Hi all Just a bit of a teaser. Our club Pietermaritzburg Parachute Club will be turning 50 next year! We've been operating continuously, off the same property since 1953, but the first jump was in 1954, so we will be celebrating throughout 2004. If there are any old PPC members out there reading this, please keep Easter 2004 free - we'll be having a kick-ass boogie. Details to follow, but if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Blue ones Kerry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bluefingers 0 #3 September 1, 2003 Hi all Well, the PPC 50th anniversary boogie is definitely on from the 8th to the 12th of April 2004, and it has been sanctioned by PASA, so will definitely be happening. I'm not going to jump the gun and advertise aircraft, events etc, until they have been absolutely confirmed, but if you have any questions at all, please feel free to PM me. It would be fantastic to have ex-PPC members from around the world at the boogie. Kerry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As far as I recall, Pietermaritzburg (Oribi) was the venue for the very first sport parachute jump/s in SA. Hope you have a super boogie! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
