always 0 #1 October 1, 2004 3rd Annual Sandblast Boogie Presented by the Kamloops Skydivers Sport Parachute Club October 8th to 11th. Come jump the most unique natural swooping "pond" in Canada. Right on the sandbar next to the DZ on the South Thompson River. You've all seen the photos in Canpara and Skydiving of us doing it. Now we want you to come out and enjoy soft sand, still shallow water, and a large landing area. How shallow is the water? You'd have to lie down on your back to get your reserve wet. And you can always land at the airport if you change your mind. We've got a Bell 206 (4 passenger) helicopter as our primary lift capability. We are anticipating a few of you all to come out and we don't want you sitting around waiting for the Cessna to do its thing. Jumps will be at most $25 to 4,000. It'll depend on how fast and busy we get the helicopter going. The C182 will be available for those wanting to go higher. If you want to try Birdmaning it, we've got plenty of demo suits and First Flight Courses are available from qualified Birdman Instructors. You're welcome to camp for free at the DZ. There's an excellent hot shower. Or you can stay in the bunkhouse (the brown building next to us, for those of you that know it). $10 a night. We'll do a barbeque or head over to the Rockin' Firkin' for you guessed it Steak, Chicken, or Salmon, just kidding. They'll have their regular full menu. And a band on Saturday night. You had to be at May Meet to get that. There won't be any registration fee. It is Thanksgiving after all. Hope to see you here! Let us know if you are coming, it helps with the planning. Call 250-376-1213 or jump@skydivekamloops.org This message authorized by The Organizing Committee For A Better 3rd Annual Sandblast Boogie PS. There'll be a downwind landing lane. Because it's so much fun laying a track in the sand. You have to be on the CSPA mailing list to understand where this statement is coming from. ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
