gus 1 #2 November 26, 2002 Clickidy-click! £25 for a lift? And April's temperamental weather..... GusOutpatientsOnline.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nacmacfeegle 0 #3 November 26, 2002 I agree with Gus, 25 quid a lift for an Islander is a little OTT, especially for a non profit thingie....-------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

skydivejersey 0 #4 November 26, 2002 Yeah I know. Landing fees alone on each lift work out at £6 per person. Then you've got the £420 per hour for the plane. However, we've gone on the better safe than sorry approach with the caveat that if we have any cash left over it's going to be refunded or stuck behind a bar on the last night....whatever people want. I'm running a jump democracy! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydivejersey 0 #5 November 26, 2002 About April... not the best time of year admittedly. Unfortunately we are limited by a local air navigation order to jumping between September & April, simply as a result of the increased air traffic in the summer months. Unfortunately Jersey is to small to land a plane on anything other than at the main airport so we're at their mercy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydivejersey 0 #6 November 26, 2002 Dear all, I am also actively looking for a tandem instructor. Have heard from quite a few people that want to do tandems and it certainly would help towards our events costs. My current thinking is that the tandem instructor would charge £200 of which £90 is retained towards costs leaving the instructor with £110. Video would be £50 extra, with £25 being retained towards costs and £25 going to the cameraman. If you know people that would be interested please ask them to get in touch through the yahoo site (see top post). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydivejersey 0 #7 November 29, 2002 Come to the skydive event in Jersey and pick up some new gear VAT free! Get a cypres for £590. Of course, you would have to declare your purchases on return to the UK and I know you would because you love Gordon Brown. I know you do, he needs to pay the firemen.....

skydivejersey 0 #9 November 29, 2002 No. but you can have it sent to my address or your hotel and pick up whatever you've ordered when you come for the event. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydivejersey 0 #10 November 29, 2002 Due to the number of tandem jumpers we have and a negotiated discount on landing fees. The registration fee will most likely include a refund on or free first jump. Plus the cost of a lift will most likely be reduced to £22. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydivejersey 0 #11 December 6, 2002 we have now found a cheaper aircraft. A LET 410. This means that we can reduce the jump costs to £17 (TBC) and the registration fee has halved to £20 (TBC). Happy days! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
