Ten complete Anniversary Skydive

July 2009

After being hampered by rather windy weather and after several attempts, our '25th Anniversary Skydivers' finally managed to complete their jumps. Ten have already jumped with a further two waiting to reschedule. This means we need to recruit another 13 people to reach our target of 25 jumpers; one to represent each of our 25 years.

John Peoples

John Peoples is the Headteacher of St Peters Primary School, Billericay. Whilst making a routine speech he made a passing comment that it was his ambition to complete a skydive – little did he know that there was a representative from the Brentwood Catholic Children's Society in the audience and a few weeks later he had signed up and completed his jump as well as raising an amazing £2331.00.
