2023 – Saturday 18th March – LMSC Supervised Parachute Repack Event
£5 per repack. Tea & Coffee provided
Rushbury Village Hall, Wall under Heywood, Church Stretton
Start Times spilt into 2 sessions : 1PM & 4PM
Please email club [at] longmynd.org to request a form to book to attend.
We have 20 spaces – reply to reserve a space. Then simply pay the £5 per repack to secure your place. Details for online payment will be sent once you have reserved a space.
Please bring your own copy of the reserve manual and harness its being fitted to, for extra point research and safety notices. This will save a lot of time. Ideally do not detach your parachute from the harness or the lines can get twisted easily.
This is a great opportunity to learn or to revise how to repack your own reserve while having the backup of a qualified repacker for any queries!
We are pleased to have a qualified BHPA parachute repacker and a repacker ‘in training’ (has completed the BHPA course, now needs lots of practice to get signed off!) on hand.
Remember parachutes should be repacked at least once a year or more depending on what your manual advises. Get yours sorted before the good weather arrives.
Note your parachute will not be repacked for you but a demonstration repack will take place at 1pm and 4pm, thereafter the repackers will supervise repacks, help where needed and answer any queries.
Initially its 1 repack per person but if spaces remain and you have indicated you would like more than 1 repack, we’ll get back to confirm.
Unfortunately due to the extra time needed, Rogallo reserves cannot be repacked at the event (well maybe 1 if time permits!).
However Rogallo’s can be left for a ‘take away’ paid repack as can any reserves you prefer to drop off for a full repack by a BHPA qualified repacker (these will be taken away and not done on the Saturday). Subject to availability, 1st come 1st served.

2022 – Thursday 29th September – Social Meet from 7pm
As well as just a nice chance to get together, talk flying and meet each other; we’re happy to do:
(1) open questions to the committee if anyone has queries about the running of the club and what we’ve been up to this year; and
(2) a Sites talk if we have enough interest from those attending about flying our lesser flown sites.
Plus 1’s are invited to make it more inclusive but please confirm if you intend to bring one in the comments in order to manage numbers.
We should have access to a large outdoor area if the weather is good and a large room if not.
The bar will be open!
A BUFFET WILL BE SUPPLIED
