Further, APF will donate up to another $4,000, matching dollar for dollar with Council contributions. Thanks APF!
State Parachute Councils of Australia The South Queensland Parachute Council are generously supporting South Queensland participants with up to $2,500, a maximum of $250 per person. The money distribution will be based on the number of jumps each participant makes ie. The more jumps, the more $. Awesome! The South Australian Parachute Council are also supporting their girls participation and jumps at Skysisters, up to $300 per girl, maximum $1,500. Awesome, thanks SAPC! The ACT Parachute Council are supporting Michelle Kosmer (the only female skydiver in ACT?) by covering her Skysisters Symposium registration. Yahoo! Watch this space, hopefully there is more good news from NSW, N.QLD and NT Parachute Councils.
Queensland Events Regional Development Program
The 2007 Skysisters Symposium is benefiting from a $25,000 investment under the Queensland Events Regional Development Program (QERDP), a State Government initiative designed to take unique and creative regional events to their full potential. Since the program began in 2001, over $7.8 million has been invested in more than 370 regional events.
Load Organisers & Coaches Of all the blokes listed on the Symposium page, only Manifest and the Video Production team are taking payment for their services. That means all of the jumping blokes ie. coaches, videomen, Tandem and AFF instructors, are supporting Skysisters in a big way. Thanks guys, get frocked! Throughout the 8 days of the 2007 Skysisters Symposium, Al McVinish, the guy who owns the four Cessna Caravans, is sponsoring one slot on every load for a load organiser. He's also pulling his aircraft from other drop zones for the 60way record.
