JeffD 0 #1 July 11, 2003 (University of South Florida) Has anyone heard about it? I have gone through some e-mail contacts but cant get any information. (I'm moving there in a month) Also if my friend and I were to start the club back up do DZ's give any discounts or anything to clubs? I am guessing they would have been around Z-hills, or Skydive Tampa bay. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pilotdave 0 #2 July 11, 2003 I don't know but I assume they havent been active for a while. My old club at the university of maryland has been keeping a list of other active collegiate clubs and we don't have USF listed. Maybe the florida or florida state people would know better. As far as discounts go, I think the bigger the DZ you choose the less likely discounts will be. Maryland's club gets excellent discounts in Delaware, but I don't think UF's club gets any discount.

happythoughts 0 #3 July 11, 2003 I went to USF years ago and they had a skydiving club. Interest slowly faded away. I live within a mile of the school today and still don't hear any murmurs of renewed interest. I jump at Skydive City . I know they have block ticket rates. Call and ask for TK or Alicia.

JeffD 0 #4 July 11, 2003 Well hopefully if I can get the school to give me information on what happend I would like to start it up again. Do you have any information on what it was or why it stopped? Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
happythoughts 0 #5 July 12, 2003 I would contact the school about the current process for starting a club. The history of a school club usually is gone with the members. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RozeAY 0 #6 July 13, 2003 Might I suggest also inquiring at the school about the club. If the club owned gear that was purchased by the school and the club no longer exists, chances are the school has the gear sitting in a closet somewhere. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pilotdave 0 #7 July 14, 2003 Or a former student has some free gear. If my school's club owned gear, the school wouldnt have known anything about it. We were actually mistakenly given gear by a rigger that had another club's gear for years when nobody came to get it after a repack. Nobody at that school even knew they owned gear (till we gave it back). Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
