Pat Gorham Memorial Accuracy Meet
On Saturday, July 14th, Jumptown will be hosting the second annual Pat
Gorham Memorial Accuracy Meet in memory of long-time jumper Pat
Gorham. The competitor's briefing for the three-round meet will start
at 9:00 AM and jumping will commence immediately after the wind dummy
load lands. There will be two events, classic accuracy and sport
accuracy and three official USPA judges will judge the meet.
Competitors will jump in either the Sportsman class (less than 500
jumps) or the Masters class (500 jumps up). Three rounds of accuracy
in both events will determine the top three finishers and SCM
Competition Rules will apply with the exception of manual measurements
for sport accuracy.
Trophies, Free Jumps, and/or Other Coveted Prizes will be awarded to
the top three jumpers in each event and class. The class champions
will have their names engraved on the Waterford Crystal bowl which has
been donated by the Gorham family and will be held in perpetuity at
Jumptown.
Pat was the original full-grown model for the first G.I. Joe action
figure and following the competition and awards ceremony, an auction
of vintage, limited edition and out-of-production G.I. Joe action
figures will be held to raise money to fund next year's meet. The
auction will include the ever-popular and impossible-to-find FAO
Schwartz Golden Knight figure and many other pieces limited edition
pieces. All of the figures up for auction are complete and in mint
condition and most are in unopened boxes.
They make great gifts for skydivers of all ages. Or you can just hold
on to it and let it appreciate in value. There is one on Ebay going
for nearly ten thousand dollars.
We'll wrap it all up with a Jumptown barbecue, courtesy of Diane and
Gary Pond.
There will be a $10.00 registration fee and we encourage everyone to

Last year's class champions PJ Jackson and John Spear will be
defending their wins at the inaugural meet. Over 40 jumpers registered
last year, many competing for the first time and interest in this
year's meet is stronger than ever.
We hope to see you Old Timers at this event and encourage all jumpers,
regardless of experience level, to join in the fun and competition in
memory of a great friend of skydiving in New England. Your
participation will make this event a success.
