Greetings to all,

I'm looking for as much support as possible for my upcoming skydive. Would love to see as many familiar faces as possible. Should be a good day out - weather permitting.

Regards,

Mary

Hi Mary, D Day is drawing near, and I'm quite sure it will be a terrific day out and the opportunity to watch you two brave sky divers, so I hope to be there. Bet the fund raising is flying high just as you two will be on Mon. Just a note for the gardeners, when the rain stopped on Friday we did get out to Lill's garden and put some of it into ship shape order. Sorry I wont be able to join the group at Ana Marie's on Wed., but will make it to Bernie's on Friday. Good luck Mary You'll fly with a little help from your friends.
See you at gardening or at computers or on Monday in Loughcrew, Eileen G.

Hi Jean and Eileen,

Many thanks for your great words of encouragement .... well I will definitely put gravity to the test and maybe, just maybe Jean I will bounce like Tigger. Really I just can't wait, hope the weather is on my side, will know on Saturday as the Parachute Club are able to gain a long-range forcast then, so fingers and toes crossed all will go ahead.

It's turning out to be a good days entertainment so I truly hope you all enjoy yourselves, I will drop in to see you all around 3pm probably slightly shaken but not stirred!!

Regards,

Mary

Hi Mary

Just a quick note to say "well done" last Monday. It looked like you had a wonderful time and also raised much needed funds for Ballinacree. Have you come down from the high yet or do you need another parachute for that??!!! I was well impressed you were able to land so close to your X spot in the field.

Anyway see you tomorrow and I have some more funds for you

Jean
