Skydive Warwick
Skydive Warwick brought along 36 RAPS students and 58 tandem
students, who along with some experienced skydivers raised an amazing
£20,274.00 for charity. This is the biggest single charity event ever
for Warwick University, and have already expressed great interest in
coming back next year!
A boogie type video was made of the whole
weekend, and if anyone wants to watch it, they
can get it from YouTube by following this link
here. (Link will be activated Monday)
You don't have to sign up or register, but if
you want a full copy of the video, just contact
Robert Smith. Copies of the video are £12
each.

Despite the terrible forecast for the weekend reported earlier in the
week, the worst were a few grey clouds scattered around, and thankfully
the wind didn't pick up either!

Cameramen play a vital role in the skydiving world, their video
footage is used for judging world class events and competitions, or kept
by students to show others of the good times they had. The cameraman
below is Rob Simpson.
