Meeting was held in Gambrell Hall room 151 at 7:00p.m.

Topics covered at the meeting:

1. Upcoming First Jump Course (FJC)

Prospective AFF Students! If you're interested in learning how to solo skydive, your next chance is coming up. We will be setting the date for the next First Jump Course soon, so be sure to let us know when works good for you. The FJC is the first step to begin your journey of becoming a licensed skydiver! More information about the AFF Program can be found under the "Skydiving Info" tab.

2. Thanksgiving Celebration: Nov. 21-23

This is our next big event! The last day to sign up for a skydive (tandem or AFF) during that weekend is Nov. 12! Be sure not to miss it! Everyone at the meeting was given a stack of fliers for the event to pass out on campus, etc. to help spread the word of skydiving!

3. It takes a lot of work to become a sports team.

Becoming a sports team has its advantages over being a club organization (what we currently are), and this includes recieving some funds from our school. We will have to make a presentation to a board in order to make this happen. If you're interested in helping research info for the presentation, let us know! (You don't personally have to present anything.. we'll take care of that.) :)


4. New Scheduling Policy

From now on you need to be scheduling your jump about 2 weeks in advance to be sure to get a space reserved. To do this, call Skydive Carolina at 803-581-5867 and don't forget to let them know that you're a member of the Flying Gamecocks at USC!

5. Next Mandatory Meeting: Nov. 12

There will be a meeting Nov. 5, but Nov. 12 will be a mandatory meeting for everyone planning to attend the Thanksgiving Celebration weekend (Nov. 21-23). We will be discussing rides and other details to make the weekend a success!
