Just a quickie from me today to show you some pictures taken when Maddie, my daughter, did her skydive which was only 10 days ago.
She is a youth worker in the evenings and in the budget cuts Hampshire council have dropped the funding for youth clubs across the county. Her manager with the support of the other youth workers, including Maddie, have set up a charitable trust and have got funding to continue the Youth Club and outreach work they do. They are very focussed on education as well as support and guidance for the young people of the Fleet area. Five of them raised over £2500 for Fleet Phoenix.
Getting kitted up - Maddie is furthest to the right.
Out of the plane and parachute open.
Getting nearer the ground - another of her group can be seen in the background.
Getting nearer still.

Touchdown.
Landed.
Her comments? "It's certainly a once-in-a-lifetime experience".
Don't think she'll be doing that again in a hurry then lol.
Well done Maddie, I am very proud of you.
Hope you all have a great weekend.
I am looking forward to going to see my grandaughter tomorrow.
I just hope she's making some progress again now. I will update you on Sunday.
Happy Friday.
