Parachute Jump in aid of the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Air Ambulance:-
One of our new Lady members has commenced her first Lion year with a 'flying start'- a charity parachute jump. This took place on the 25th of June from Hinton Airfield, and in her own words:-
" Friday 25 June saw a drop in numbers from Hinton Airfield! The skies were crystal clear except from above 14000 feet where the clouds took over in force. My instructor remained calm and in total control from the minute I met him. There were only a few remarks about if it doesn't go totally to plan we'll discuss the detail afterwards! Thankfully we didn't need to cover this as everything did go according to plan.
I decided some time ago that a Tandem Parachute Jump was on my 'list of things to do' and who better to benefit from this than the Swanwick Lions Club, and the Air Ambulance. Since deciding to jump out of a perfectly good aeroplane I have been invited to become a Swanwick Lion, which I very proudly accepted. If I can give some of my time and encourage others to dig into their pockets, purses and money jars to sponsor me, then I feel happy to have been able to help"
