BCPA
BCPA stands for "British Collegiate Parachute Association" and is a volunteer-run, non-profit organisation, set up for the purpose of promoting skydiving at a collegiate level. Their aim is to provide a community where several hundred university skydivers (from over 30 affiliated university clubs) can find like-minded people - with whom they can jump, compete and most importantly socialise!
The BCPA runs half a dozen boogie-style events at drop-zones around the UK, in addition to tunnel meets and a highly acclaimed Easter Foreign Trip.
The BCPA co-ordinates annual inter-university leagues to allow clubs to compete against each other both in competition (3-way, freefly and accuracy) as well as club achievements (such as obtaining Cat-8 or FS1). So qualified or not you can earn points for the uni. This culminates in an awards ceremony at the BCPA Nationals in the summer.
The Nationals and the various drop-zone events are a must to attend. There is lots of drinking, games, prizes and drinking to be done and sometimes we even get round to skydiving!!!
