Västerås it is!

I was informed today that we cannot jump in Gävle because they have a noise complaint deadline coming up and they don't want to stress their relationship with the neighbours...
We have investigated the possibility to jump over an airfield just north of Gryttjom, but it will be occupied by racing BMW:s...

So awaiting the board's information I have talked to the chairman of Aros Skydiving Club in Västerås. (http://www.fkaros.se/?lang=1). Västerås is a 140 km drive away from Gryttjom, it takes about 1 hour and 40 minutes to get there. They have 2 Cessna Caravans and we are welcome to be there with the competition if we need to.

Aros Skydiving Club has basically the same facilities as we have in Gryttjom but we cannot expect to sleep there, because they have so few beds. So we really hope we can finish on Saturday, we probably do no twant to commute....
Also, Marco's flight (Oliver and Markus too?) leaves early on Sunday morning, so for you it may be best to actually try and stay over in Västerås (a much larger city than Tierp..)?
Jump prices are the same as in Gryttjom. And, I think they only take cards in the manifest there.

They start jumping at 9 am in Västerås, but we may aim at starting at 10, otherwise it will be a really early morning..
Let's talk more about this tomorrow evening, but until then, be prepared....

I am really sorry for all this, but we will try and do the best of the situation.

Cheers,

/Ann
