GT Weekend at SDA
This weekend and next weekend (Jan 23-25, 30-31) will be "GT Weekend" at SDA!

Each weekend, we will be budgeting ~$1000 to cover jumps for all dues-paying members as well as BBQ and soda. We will be counting the number of jumpers all weekend and pay off the accounts at the end, so be ready to pay for jumps not covered by the club. Keep in mind this is a great opportunity to jump with other members of the club and start thinking about who you might want to compete with at the next Collegiates.
 
A Look Back on Fall 2009
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and yay angry drivers doing last minute shopping!

The Fall 2009 semester has come to a close, and the club is still going strong. We had a pretty exciting semester, with steadily increasing membership. Travis and Nathan have finished AFFi and begun teaching new skydivers. The club purchased some new equipment, including goggles that won't tear into pieces after a week and altimeters complete with GT logo faceplates. Due to growing demand, the third 190 is back in action, and we've seen the locker empty out several times with all nine rigs in the air. We also had some successful trips to the tunnels in Orlando and Paraclete.

The team has been putting hard work into getting ready for Collegiates, now just around the corner starting Dec 28. They overcame injuries and snowstorms, and even managed to win the 4-way at GSL in November. Wish them luck as they head out to Skydive Spaceland in Texas, and come back as we'll be posting results as they become available.

New College Skydiving Website!
College Skydiving
www.CollegeSkydiving.com
Over the course of the National Collegiate Competition this past year, there was a lot of talk about college students having a tough time getting together for events.  There is now a new website that was started in January this year by students from Georgia Tech, Kansas State University, and Virginia Tech.  A few ideas from these students and a few ideas from Chris Spence have turned into something pretty big for the college skydiving community.  The site is www.CollegeSkydiving.com and everyone is welcome to join the Forum and Photo Gallery.
