Dear Jo,

I just want to thank you and your team for the fantastic experience we had at the weekend.

My daughter Jennifer and I were both doing Tandem jumps for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves during the whole day. The weather was fantastic (which was a bonus), everything was very well organised and all of your team members were great. The instructors we had were professional, calm and reassuring and made the process very easy. Apart from the inevitable butterfly’s that we had when hanging out of the door (which was not for long!) we really had very little concerns. The skydive itself was amazing and an incredible rush. I can see why these guys do this all the time. I can’t wait to get the DVD’s and photographs.

Please pass on our thanks to the whole team.

Jennifer has raised an amazing £2265 for her charity GOSH. You can see her page at www.justgiving.com/jennifer-taylor

Best Regards

Hi Jo,

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for making Sunday an awesome experience!!
I was terrified on the day, but all of the people were so friendly and calming it was a fantastic day.

I had such a great time that I really want to do it again, do you know if there is any way I could have the same instructor if I did another tandem? 

Many thanks
Michelle

Hello,
I would just like to say a big thank you to everybody who helped my brother and myself jump last Sunday,  both the guys on the ground organising the day and the guys in the air.  We both had a really great time.  When doing something as scary as jumping out of a plane at 2 miles high it helps to know that there is such a professional bunch of people looking after you.

I would particularly like to say thanks to Garry for teaching us so well and looking after us in the air.  He managed to keep us smiling whilst at the sometime emphasising the importance of what he was teaching us. It was really comforting to know when the time came that both Garry and Loz were going to be by your side and I had every confidence in them and what they had taught me.  

Thank you again for the fantastic day and I look forward to jumping with you in the future.

Regards
Jon

Dear Martin and everyone involved. Just a note to thank you very much for my tandem skydive on Saturday.  This was in aid of the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. My daughter has this condition and we have managed to raise over £700 (I think) for the Trust.  I had a fantastic time and can't wait to do it again!! (will have to save my pocket money!!!) Many thanks for organising this and supporting the trust. Regards Ann-Marie Spicer
Hi Jo,
 
Could I trouble you to forward this email onto Gary Smith and Dave (not sure of his surname but he was Chief Instructor at Lewknor on Sun 21st)...I just wanted to say to them both thanks again, so much, for all their guidance and support. I was SO pleased I did the jump, in spite of being absolutely petrified at the time! One thing's for sure - it's cured my fear of flying! I honestly couldn't speak more highly of how great they were before, during and after the jump and would recommend it to anyone.
 
In spite of my protestations to the contrary on landing, I'm determined to do the AFF course now. I only hope I haven't put them off instructing by being such a scaredy-cat student! Anyway, it's testament to how good the whole experience was that I'm resolute about going up again.
 
Thanks again to everyone; it was a great day.

Hi Ralph, Martin, Rachel, Jo, and all the other guys on the day who helped me and the person who took the DVD (Mark) Thank you for making the day and experience an unforgettable and truly amazing one for me. I can't wait to see the DVD although I don't remember seeing the person who did the DVD when I was coming down so I hope he saw me and that my head was held high enough, still any shots of me up there will just be amazing for me.  I am terrible with names so please apologise to the person that took the film.  Thanks again you were all professional but friendly and fun and I loved the jump and the day. Best best wishes

Hi Jo Just wanted to say thanks for sorting my jump out again for me, I finally got to do it and it was absolutely amazing, definately well worth the wait. Pass my thanks on to Gary Smith  who was really friendly and made my jump so much fun, and really set my mind at ease so that I was able to enjoy the whole experience. Thanks for a great day Kind regards Charlene
Dear All, You've probably forgotten me already, as no doubt you have so many people passing through your hands (and legs, and various other parts of your anatomy). That last bit may give you a clue as to who I am! I'm the crip who was so irritating and very independent. Poor Ralph drew the short straw and ended up with me strapped to him last Sunday for a Tandem Skydive! You may remember me making a remark about your 'web page', and laughing at how you claimed to be the friendliest site around? Well, since last Sunday, I now think you are underselling yourselves! I felt like a 'Queen for the day', not only did you ensure that everyone was OK and happy, I also heard that you kept all the guests amused and entertained whilst waiting for their friend/relative to descend from the sky!   It was a wonderful day, made more so by all you friendly, kind and helpful people! I kept re-living every moment of the skydive and remembering little things, all of them good. I've been 'buzzing' for a couple of days and am only slowly coming back to earth. It was an amazing experience, and I'm thrilled that I did it! This was a weekend that I'll never forget, memories were made for me that will last a lifetime, it's another thing to tick off my list of 'Lifetime goals/aspirations'! (although I wouldn't mind another go, as I think I was bit numb initially, and expect that each time one does a skydive, then we remember and/or are aware of other things!). The basic thing that I wanted to say was.... Thank you! It's written in bold in order to stress that it's a great big type of 'thank you' that can't always be expressed in words. You do a wonderful job in making people's dreams come true, and you do it so well. Yes you are the friendliest group of people that I've met in a long time, but still professional and safety conscious, but in an unobtrusive way. Many thanks again, Angela.
On Sunday the 8 th June I had a Tandem Jump with you, I would just like to say firstly how much I enjoyed the experience. With the difficulties of the day we were kept informed of every thing that was going on, which was good receive. All the staff were friendly and helpful especially Steve Foster (fozy) my tandem partner, and as it was my first time the attitude of the staff put any minor concerns I had at ease. So much so that I am considering returning for a Static line jump. Thank you all for a fantastic day and could you pass on my thanks to fozy. Yours Sincerely
Andy D
Thanks for everything it was an amazing day and she loved it. The weather was a big bonus as well.
Regards, Ally
Hi Martin Just wanted to say a big thank you to you all for making yesterday a great day and if possible as I know you a busy man please could you thank Ralph for as i didn’t really get a chance to say thank you to him properly for having a laugh and making me feel comfortable i think if it was’nt for him and steve I don’t know if I could’ve have done it but im glad I did. P.s glad the plan about the mile high club worked Ralph went a light shade of red. Maybe see you all again you never know. Many Thanks Selina with the pink hair.
Hi Martin,

Many thanks to you and the team,  I had a great time and will be looking to go again in two weeks.

Cheers,


Regards,

Colin.
Dear Martin, I wish to thank all at The London Parachute Club for a fantastic day on Sunday. I am still on a high from my tandem jump, the grin still hasn't left my face. I am definately going to do it again, probably next year. My thanks especially to my instructor Jerry, if you get the chance, please tell him that I hope he's recovered from the heavy landing (we didn't slide at all) and that he can still have those kids he was after !!!!! If I get the chance to jump with him again I promise to lose some more weight first. I realise that to all of you it is a common day occurance to jump out of an areoplane, but for me it was something I had only dreamed about. Again, many thanks to you all. Suzanne Vass
Hi Martin, I just like to say thank you so much for such a great day on Saturday. (I don’t know if you remember me – the girl with the brown plaits who jumped Sat 4 th Aug) I absolutely can not wait to do it again. I’m hoping to do another one for my birthday which is in November. Please pass on my thanks again to Ian and Steve as they definitely made it a memorable day for me!! I know this is really cheeky, but, I wonder if you could ask Steve if it would be possible for him to print out a really lovely picture he took of my little girl and her friend with Ian. Going back to the sky diving. When does the jumping season finish? Would November be too late in the year to jump? (How eager am I?!) Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks Again. Essie.
Dear Mr Harris,I\'ve done tandem on Saturday and it was a superb experience!I\'d like to do it again, with probably a bit of a training as well.I wish all of you many more successful jumps and many happy new people on the list.Kind regards,Martina Babinova
Hi Martin I did my first RAPS jump on Sunday and just wanted to let you know how excellent I thought the whole thing was.  Rob is a fantastic teacher and I felt surprisingly relaxed and confident after doing the training on Saturday.  I thought the atmosphere in the drop zone was great on Sunday, especially with the mix of people from students and club members.  And the jump itself was incredible, I hope I'll be back for the second go soon. Now that I've done my first jump can you let me know how long the training lasts before I have to do it again, and is that time renewed after each jump ? Cheers
Paul Johnson
I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone, I did my first tandem parachute jump with you on Sunday (29 July) and must say that it was the most amazing experience of my life! Please could you pass on my thanks to Wayne as he was fantastic with me, and I most definitely will have to do it again. Hayley Hayley Wood
Hey Martin,trouble maker(s) here. We just wanted to thank you for the great experience, was really really cool!!You guys are cool and we're definitely coming back for that naked jump ;-)Thanks again, Berenice and Dwight
Just want to say,what an amazing experience tandem jumping was. It was my first ever jump and plan to do another! Please give my thanks to Dan Schmidt who was absolutely brilliant, I couldn't have had a better partner.Thanks again Dan!Maddy
Martin, Just a quick note to say thanks for the tandem jump which I booked for my fiancee Georgina and which she did on the 3rd. She had a fantastic day and it was really an experience of a lifetime for her. Can you pass on my thanks to the team for a smooth and professional service - really impressive. Kind Regards,
Antony.
Thankyou so much for one of the best experiences of my life today, the instructor Ralph Mitchell and video man were inspired legends!!!!!!! I would definitely do another tandem jump in a heartbeat!!!!!!!!Rupinder Gill xxx
Hi Martin.Just wanted to take the opportunity to say a MASSIVE thank you once again to you and all the team for an amazing day on Sunday 15th April!Got my first two solo S/L jumps done, really enjoyed watching the experienced jumpers and the tandems, and thanks to you and the radio I made a stand-up landing right on the DZ in front of the spectators! What more could you ask for??!!Weather permitting i'll be there again this Sunday to carry on with the progression.Once again, thanks to all involved for a great day.James Jenner
Hi Martin & teamJust wanted to say a quick thank you, I had an amazing experience doing my charity sky dive on Sunday.Here is a testimonial for you to use;'I highly recommend London Parachute to do your skydive with - I did a charity tandem skydive in April - it was amazing. My instructor Ian even allowed me to steer the parachute - the view was lovely. The day was very well organised and all the staff were very friendly. Thanks' Jo Taylor, Marketing Assistant, Surrey.
Hi Martin.I'd just like to take the opportunity to say how much I enjoyed the RAPS course on Sat 24th March! It was a real shame about the weather, but that couldn't be helped.I really thought that the instruction from Rob was first rate and enthusiastic, so much so I've been practising my spread stable position and emergency count in the garden!I'll be at the DZ bright and early this Sunday (Weather permitting!) and i'm really looking forward to progressing through the training.Once again a big thank you to all involved, i've really got the bug!Hope to see you on Sun,James J
Hi Martin,Thanks again for such a great day yesterday – didn’t it work out well in the end!  I would love to schedule in another jump perhaps for 28th or 29th July as you suggested. Thanks again, and I look forward to hearing from you.Camilla Camilla Kinchin Fundraising Coordinator The Esther Benjamin Trust
Hi Martin,
Just to say a big thank you to u loz, dan, ralph and everyone I meet on Saturday I had a fantastic time and it was the best experience of my life, defintley up for doing again and perhaps next time I can brave it alone. Is it ok for u to arrange some music to be put on my video! Is there any choices? Once again thanks and I hope to catch up with you soon Kath
Hi Martin, Treasa here, just to say thanx for yesterday!!! what an experiance!!! Please say thanx to laurance for me i had the best time. Be seeing you in the future for definate. Thanx again xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Martin
Just wanted to say, a huge thanks again for helping me realise one of my lifelong dreams.  I had such an amazing time on Sat 30th Sept.  Every time I think about it I get a real buzz.  The guys were fantastic and did a great job of relaxing everyone on the way up.  I remember thinking that normally I would be feeling really sick and nervous but although I was nervous I think I was more excited.  I haven’t been able to describe how amazing the free fall is to anyone very successfully just that it was awesome! When the chute opened the nearest comparison I could think of is being on a ski lift past the tree line where all you hear is silence except a slight whirr from the cable/ripple from the chute and you have the most amazing views.  The DVD and photos have been great too as a few people thought I would bottle out, but I have the evidence to prove otherwise!  Funnily enough when I challenged the doubters to have a go themselves they declined! (They don’t know what they are missing). But may well have persuaded a few people to have ago for charity next year. Anyway enough of my ramblings, just
THANKS to EVERYONE for making it such a fab experience!Carolyn Rees
Hi Martin, Rachel and everyone else
Just to say, now that my stomach has finally landed, thank you so much for Saturday, both for the jump and your patience afterwards. I won't say "Never again!" I do say "Definitely again, with travel sickness pills!"All the bestEmma
Hi Martin
I did my first tandem skydive yesterday and want to say thanks to the LPS for an amazing day. It was the third attempt because of bad weather but we got the best day in the end! Thanks to Ralph for making me feel uncannily unnervous on the way up and for inspiring complete confidance, loved it and also thanks to Mark for filming and being so chirpy, I can remember you smiling away during freefall!I think I will be back again...Kiera
Dear Martin,
It's Tim, the mad man, who got engaged after the Tandem Jump last Sunday.
I would like thank you and all the team that made mine and Emma's day so perfect. We were both delighted and will remember that day for the rest of our life's. This was all down you guys (and of course the beautiful rock I had with me), making so much effort and providing me with attention and endless support, throughout the day.
 The whole experience was summed up, when the next day Emma looked at me and said "the whole day was like a perfect dream".
Once again, thank you.
 P.S - Ralph, if you read this, I know you loved being trapped to me - Don't deny it, you big gay!!!!!!!
Cheers. 
 Kind regards,
Tim Cazemage
Dear Martin,
 
I trust that you are well.
 
Just a quick note to say thanks very much for taking on two newbie's before we even have our A licence. We very much appreciate that you have taken us on and both had a great first "English" jump on Sunday. We really hope to see much more of the skies, under the London Parachute School's expert guidance, in the future.
 
I would like to take this opportunity to express interest for this Sunday as well as the bank holiday  weekend if you're open. If there is anything you need from us, please do let us know.
 
Many thanks, once again.
Kind regards
Claire (and Pieter)
Martin - Just cant put into words how amazing the tandem jump was. As you know i jumped to raise money for the M.S society as one of my best friends is suffering with it very severely and she was the inspiration for the jump. With £11,500 raised it became apparent that i would have to follow through slightly quicker than i had anticipated (!) and hence the jump date was arranged. From the minute i arrived this morning,  everyone who works for the London parachute school seemed to go way beyond the call of duty to make sure my nerves quickly disappeared. It was, without a doubt one of the best days of my life. Thank you all so very very much...and as for my screams of excitement... i can only apologise! Outstanding. Brilliant. Can't wait for the DVD!!! Ralph - i don't know how you did it but you managed to put me at ease as soon as we started chatting and i will now say that it is in fact OK to trust a man who says "trust me!" Mark - cant wait to see the DVD!! Thanks again - a dream come true - Nicky Bloom
Mark,
        Kelly & I were the first to jump last weekend ( Sunday 25th June). We received the DVD & photos yesterday and I just wanted to say thanks.
 
Both the DVD & Stills are excellent, both in terms of quality, content and editing. It really captures what I think I remember but wasn't quite sure if that's how it went down, This will be great to keep for years
 
Thanks also to you and the other guys for helping to keep Kelly & myself calm.... you all did a great job and we really enjoyed it
 
many thanks
Hi to all at the London Parachute School,"This is Aidan & Giedre - we trained on the Sat 15th and jumped on Sun 16th!
Thanks so much for providing us with the expertise and confidence to fling ourselves out at 3000 feet! We want to come back and jump some more!"
Dear Martin
 
A quick e-mail to say thanks very much for yesterday's AFF level 1 course: I thoroughly enjoyed myself and that was, in no small part, due to the professionalism of the two instructors, Loz and Steve, and to your helpful directions while I was under canopy.
 
 
Thanks again. I hope to be booking the level 2 course soon!
 
Tony
Martin & Co,
 
Just wanted to say thanks for making my experience yesterday a great one... despite the long wait for weather conditions etc, I found the jump to be one of the most fantastic, adrenalin fuelled, exciting things I have even done in my life... If it wasn't for my family who are threatening me with all sorts of things if I ever dare put them through the worry of it again, I would be signing up to do jumps every week!
 
Thanks again!
 
Vicki O'Reilly

CheersDon & Eve
Hi MartinThanks so much for today- thought it was amazing.  Could I please book for level 2 AFF: do you have any places left on the course for xxxxx July?Thanks.Anna
Hi Martin,
Thanks for the Tandem experience, I had a Fantastic time and am definitely looking to come back again. I am considering the AFF, can you send me some info on itRegardsSam
Just wanted to thank everybody concerned for the tandem jump I took part in on Sunday 7th May. Brilliant time and lots of money raised for our school (Our Lady Of the Rosary, Staines) Thanks again and would have no hesitation in recommending you guys. Regards Liz
Hi Martin, Cathy here, you remember, the one who kept ringing you up with questions every 5 minutes about our group jump on Sun 7th May.
Just wanted to say a big thankyou to you and your colleagues for making our day a FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE! I especially wanted to thank yourself, Ralph, and Mark. I'm sure i won't be the only one to be travel sick on the plane, but i suspect i was proberly the first in the new Airvan! The DVD is great, Mark did a wonderful job, i love the music, very apt, thanks Mark. Thanks to Ralph for taking good care of me, and giving me an experience i'll never forget! i just hope he dosen't remember me for being the one to christen the new Airvan. I can honestly say that if i could guarantee not getting airsick i would definately do it again.
Thanks again for a great day! Cathy, Bernice, Ian, Shak, Karen and Liz.
Hi   Mark,    Thanks for the video it exceeded all my expectations by a long way, and a lot more film , than I expected, I loved the extra addition at the begining and well worth the money.      Superb,  thankyou.    Would you convey my heartfelt thanks to Ralph, on the day I was up in the clouds,( and still am ) and did not thank him as I should have done, I found him careing and kind, a star    thanks again    Bernard
Hi Martin,
Thanks for Sunday....it was great. What a difference it makes to have an aircraft that I can do 3 jumps from in an afternoon!Its a fun DZ that I love to come to.....especially when I can get in the air! Not a place full of ????? and skygods into swooping and looking good!
Guys.
 
Big thanks for Sundays (27th) Jump. It was something else!!!! to jump from an aircraft at 10,000 ft.
 
Special thanks to Dan,
 
I'll do it again when I'm 50?????.
 
Regards
