  3. Pro packing, would rather pay a proffessional packer anyday. flat packing takes up too much floor space and is slower. Cool does not play a factor in it. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

  5. For the people not going out to the dropzones, here is the letter all should read. 12 January 2007 Dear Fellow Members BPA INSURANCE 2007/8 I am writing ahead of the AGM to update you on BPA insurance for the coming Membership year, 1 April 2007 to 31 March 2008. I should be grateful if you would please call this letter to the attention of your Members and visiting jumpers by posting it on your notice board. The letter is also being posted on the BPA website. The BPA Insurance Subcommittee, under the able Chairmanship of David Hickling, met on a number of occasions last year including the regular autumn review meeting with the insurers on 25 October 2006. In response to the BPA’s request, following the motion carried at the AGM on 21 January 2006, the insurers have agreed to make provision within the existing BPA insurance policy for experienced European Skydivers with the appropriate FAT licence/s and with at least a specified minimum of skydiving insurance cover, to jump at BPA Affiliated Centres without the need for them additionally to take out BPA insurance. This will be at no additional cost to BPA members. The Insurance Subcommittee has secured this concession from the insurers by providing them with statistics for the calendar year 2006 on the number of experienced EU parachutists who visited the UK to jump. Further good news is that there has been an underlying downward trend in claims, probably as a result of the proactive risk assessment. Earlier in the year, it has therefore appeared that we were on course for, if not a reduction in insurance premium for next year, a small if any increase. Unfortunately, the underlying positive trend had been distorted by two potentially large claims that have arisen during the year. Both involve jumpers who have put in claims for significant injuries as a result of parachuting accidents. The insurers are awaiting full particulars of the claims, which will be based on detailed medical prognoses. It has always been the case that such matters take time, and the insurers have advised the BPA that they do not expect to be in a position to attach a reserve figure to each claim until February 2007. Because each reserve is likely to be a significant figure, the overall amount of the reserves for each of these new claims will determine whether the underwriters would be prepared to offer renewal of the BPA’s insurance cover for a further year and, if so, at what premium any renewal would be. This means that, unfortunately, the insurers are not in a position to provide a quotation for next year’s insurance, and were are not expecting them to be able to do so in time the AGM on Saturday 20 January 2007. The Insurance Subcommittee has, during 2006, continued to scour the market to try to identify other possible insurers. At least seven possible underwriters have been approached, of whom six have declined and the seventh has still not yet given a final response. It is now over a month after the deadline of the EGM on 5 December 2006, and their overdue reply does nothing to raise our hopes. At the AGM, the Council will therefore not be asking the Membership, as usual, to approve a particular amount per Member for the insurance premium for next year, because we simply do not yet know the figure. Rather, we shall be asking the Membership to trust its elected Council to negotiate on its with the insurers to achieve the best value insurance for the Membership. The insurers will be present at the Hinckley Island Hotel for an insurance seminar at 1400 on the afternoon of AGM Day to answer any questions that you or the Members of your Club or Centre may have. Please can Clubs & Centres kindly do everything to help to spread the word about the insurance position as set out in this letter. Please encourage jumpers to understand how important it is that the BPA Council should be entrusted with the task of securing BPA insurance for the new Membership year beginning on 1 April 2007. May I take this opportunity to wish you and all Members of your Club or Centre all good wishes for 2007, and I look forward to seeing you at the AGM. Yours sincerely KieranTBrady Development Chairman .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

    Favor needed

    just voted a few time by clearing the cookies but still has not moved from fourth. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  9. they are still on the belt .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  10. I sure hope you go on patrol with 'skirts' and not male coppers. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  11. I want to meet Bill cole 'chuteless' Seeing as i have his log books with the chuteless jumps in them, it would be nice to meet the bloke. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  12. Do you prefer those techniques the coppers throw when it takes three of them to get you on the ground UFC is excellent when the right two fighters square off against each other. BTW, the UFC has more technique than many other disciplines .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  13. I got $50 Someone should start an official paypal account up for bingo. Thing is my 50 goes on this guy being a troll while at the same time not having enough money to be able to afford a canopy. If you do own this canopy, please tell me the serial number to verify you are not a troll. P.s. there is a huge difference in a 150 to a 129/135, so saying there is no difference in a 170 down to a 120 is just plain bullshit. I suppose you jump on your own at the dz? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  14. Thats great, i also lived in there for 4 years and yes brits do call it bantering.... give a little take a little. If you feel i am wasting your time, thanks for letting me waste your time. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  15. that was stirring the pot though while you guys were asleep so you had something to wake up to, was all in the name of fun.... Brits call it bantering, we took it as good as we gave it as well. If that is why they left they should have said something as it was only ever meant to be a friendly war kind of like the kiwis vs the ozzies .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  16. Awesome news Michele, Myself and my partners family have been hanging out to see him in something again.... Glad it is not with the hoff though huh? .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  17. That is fair enough and i now see where your stron opinion is coming from but there has to be a line that we as a community will tolerate and not tolerate. Where have all the interesting threads gone, where are all the old guys gone? I notice aggiedave hardly ever posts in here anymore, he seems to be using other forums on the site, just seems to have really gone down hill over the last 12 months. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  18. I am happy for you. everyone can have their opinion. So far on this site you have a 17 year old posting polls about dildos, pictures of shit, his hard on.... Glad to see you condone an underage 17 year old posting this sort of vile shit on such an excellent website that has so much hard work in it and many man hours of moderation. I think a pic of a chick flashing her tits at a party is a whole lot more tame than the vulgar shit you are condoning. Letting a 17 year old make every thread dirtier and dirtier everytime he posts does not seem right. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  19. My website is not a place where tens of thousands of people go and read topics of skydiving. My site is not aimed towards a data base of skydiving knowledge nor is it a place where peoples grandmothers would come to read special wishes towards their loved ones. Two different things. HH has done an amazing job with this site and a small group of people here repay him with disgusting thread TITLES that if it gets worse will start to reflect on our community as a whole. Do you have a problem with my opinion cause you seem to be attacking my opinion instead of just debating it. I have nothing against you nor am i being sarcastic or taking the piss out of you but if that is the way you need to be then.... continue. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  20. Nothing vulgar on my website but thanks for the marketing hits you are giving me. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  21. I think there is only a couple of people thats post kind of go to far. There is a lot of sexuality in the bonfire and i do not refer to all that, just threads called 'what size is your dildo"etc. surely that just goes a bit over board. It seems there are a few posters that only start filthy threads. If everyone is for it then so be it, I just thought it was going downhill real fast. i will leave the issue alone now as it seems a few people that i really respect in these forums are for it. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .

  23. Thanks cocheese. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
  24. my mistake. i am not trying to have a go at anybody, just concerned for what our family member have to avoid to get to the material they are looking for. Condolence threads having a thread of there own would also be a pretty good way to keep record. .Karnage Krew Gear Store .
