Our training courses are run over a weekend at JSPC Netheravon in Wiltshire. As this is about an hours drive away we will usually stay over night on the Saturday, and possibly on the Friday too.

Please read this page carefully - you may not be allowed to jump or even onto the site if you bring the wrong things.

Sleeping

Onsite accomodation is in a bunkhouse; there is also a shower block which is free to use. The accommodation is conveniently located on-site, near the bar. You will need to bring a sleeping bag, and a towel for the showers.

Identification

We jump at an active military base, so you will need to bring Photo ID. Passport or driving licence is preferred.

Clothing

Bring a few layers as some of your training will be outdoors. Make sure you have sensible clothing for the daytime, as you will be running around, and also make sure you are wearing trainers - especially avoid any hiking-style shoes with hooks on them and heels.

Food

There is a canteen, but you will save money by bringing some of your own food. Unfortunatly there is no fridge, so make sure it won't spoil. If you need money during the weekend you will only be able to get cash out from the local town on Saturday night when we get food.

Others

Don't bring anything that you will miss too much if it gets lost or damaged - there are no lockers on site and there are plenty of places to leave things. You might want to a camera to record the weekend and books/games for while you're waiting around.
