Okay, so I thought I had longer but it turns out that my 3 months is up tomorrow (29/01/2012) I was hoping that because the DZ was closed over Xmas I might be able to extend so I can still carry on without having to pay lots of fees again? 

I know there are a few that are in the same position, hope someone can help :/

Scott,

The 3 month rule is flexible in many circumstances, especially as the DZ has been closed for an extended period. You need to go as soon as possible i.e. next weekend and get refreshed. Even if the weather is poor and you don't jump, there are plenty of people driving who you can get a lift with and get sorted. 

If you do leave it longer, getting onto 4 months + then it is likely you will have to do an extended refresh and may be charged. However, it's easy enough to get yourself there so this shouldn't be a problem. Hope this helps!

If you're between 1-3 months, you'll have to do the written test again, which is exactly the same as the one you had at the end of your ground school and that shouldn't take more than a few minutes and an extended refreshers.

3+ months usually means doing a ground school, but like Matt said Nethers usually are a bit more flex because they've been shut for a month.
