The day has finished, the sun is setting and the bar is
open. Kit and Docs will be open from 7:30 tomorrow
morning and the competition registration closes at 8:30
am tomorrow morning.
26th September 2008 16:00
Several CF teams have turned up, and are getting a
little last minute practice. Pat Hammond is back at Hib
once again and teaching CF to some of the newer
competitors. We're all looking forward to watching a
little CF video on the camtrix system tonight in the
bar.

Tomorrow the CF Nationals begins, as does the 8 Way
Speed competition. This morning wasn't a promising start
with a dense layer of sea mist covering the airfield.
It did make for a few nice photos, but certainly not
good enough for jumping, let alone the CF events.

Ok
that's it for the moment and this page will no longer be
updated. Tomorrow, its the
FS page. Team names for the
scores page will be updated soon.

The draw has just been handed out and was drawn live by
Karla. Evidently, we are not using the ESL draw as in
the last few years. There are 46 teams registered.

Jumping has been called for the day and the judges are
preparing the draw. The BBQ has been served up on time
with lots of cooked meats, fresh salads, cakes and
garybaldy biscuits.
22nd August 2008 18:10
The rain has closed in, fortunately most teams had done
their practice jumps. Noel and his crew are now
preparing BBQ! Most teams have registered including
quite a few scratch teams who just formed this afternoon
by hovering around the office.

 Last
year, the 4-way VFS was an exhibition event with 1 team.
This year sees its first Nationals held at the same time
as the 4-way Formation Skydiving discipline. Although it
comes from Freefly, it has more in common with 4-way
because of its structure and points system, therefore it
is being held at the same.
There are 2 teams known at the moment, Outbreak Vertical
and a team called with NTR made up of the Volare boys
Mike Carpenter, Killer, Frasier Smith and Chris Lynch.

Good afternoon folks. Apologies for no updates today.
The internet connection here at Hibaldstow has been
down.
So what's been happening? The weather has been
reasonable today with many teams arriving early to get
their practice 'feel good' jumps in. Nothing
particularly technical or difficult, just jumps which
which help everyone to be in a good mood for Round 1.
The judges are turning up in dribs and drabs with Karla
Cole arriving a couple of hours ago.
There is a real sense of excitement on the dropzone
(except for filling in all the paperwork!). The draws is
not due until later tonight and they will be posted as
soon as they become available.
