What to bring:
The BFR is open only to BHPA members. Please bring your
BHPA membership card.
Also
bring your harness, helmet, gloves and reserve
parachute. Most importantly, please
bring your parachute's packing manual. Food & drinks can be
purchased from the Rivermead café or bring your own.
What's happening?
The famous "Zip Slide" will be set up as usual - as real as it gets indoors!
Repacker training
Bill Morris and his team will be providing comprehensive repack training. Pilots
will be arranged into pairs or small groups with similar systems and will slide
and pack together. Bill will give his lecture twice to allow us to minimise
crowding and reduce queues for the Zip slide. There will be plenty of BHPA qualified
repackers on hand to help anyone who may be unhappy about packing their own ‘chute.
Chutes can be left for a ‘professional’ pack, but everyone should be able to have their chute packed on the day.
First Aid training
Bob Nugent will be providing guidance on incident management and first aid. The First Aid will include dealing with fractures, back and head injuries. The
aim of the talk is to make you feel confident to assess and take control of the situation, how to call the emergency services and provide basic
first aid to the casualty.
*Note. The hall will be
open at 10am, if you are early please wait in the café or reception. If you are a late
arriving please try not to disturb the talk, it is repeated in the afternoon.
