ORGANIZATION OF JUMPS
Relatif jump
As every year, Espace Boogie proposes you to join its Load Organization system,
managed by Patrick Passe. Last year, 397 skydivers have participated there, 19
load organizers have welcomed each individual in order to ensure the skydivers
obtain the greatest pleasure to fly to the breast of organized jumps. The
number of faithful participants to Espace Boogie ant to its load organization
system proves our efficiency. Every year, we want to reduce the weak percentage
of unsatisfied persons. The composition of 19 groups for a total of 397
skydivers asks from us a lot of time of energy. Nothing of such is possible
without a stong organiztion and without some conventions between you and us.
Consequently, we also need your contribution in order that everyone jions the
group that will suit him.
If you wish to participate in organized jumps, we ask you :
1) to be able to dock on a 10 way formation at least. Loadorganizers will not
keep within their groups skydivers unable to fly straight forward to their
slot.
2) to be present on the DZ, registred for the boogie and ready to jump on
saturday 5th of August at 2:00 pm. Skydiver will join their groups just
after the boogie's general organization briefing, which will take place at
1:30 pm.
3) to skydive into the RW load organization system from Saturdy 5th (2:00 pm)
until Friday 11 of August and make 4 jumps minimum per day. Of course, the
load organizers will stay organizing jumps until sunset, for skydivers that
will wish to jump more. The load organization system will be running until
Sunday, August 13rd.
4) to fill-in entirely the "subscription for the RW load organization system"

Phone : +33 74.84.91.32 - Fax : +33 74.84.99.28
and return it BEFORE July, 31 to the same address
First dirt dives for organized jumps will start on Saturdy 5th of August at
2:00 pm. The first takeoff will take place at 3:00 pm.
During the first days of the boogie, the load organizers will first arrange
jumps with thier own group, from 10-way to 40-way, according to the technical
level of the totality. Then equivalent level groups will join together, in
order that in the course of this Vichy Espace Boogie each skydiver will realize
big formations that he/she has never participated in during his/her skydiving
live.
Chute assis and Skysurf
Olivier Jean-Baptiste (OJB) and Patrick Saget will oganize chute assis jumps.
If you desire to join them, they will be at your disposal during all the boogie
without preliminary registration.
The experienced group will be organized by OJB. Patrick Saget will ogranize
improvement jumps. Patrick de Gayardon will take care of the skysurfes, he will
organize jumps in skysurf and will propose seminars.
We are ready to welcome you to the Espace Boogie Vichy. We are ready to give
you what you are looking for.
See you very soon !

American skygods are pretty horrible, I can't imagine what french skygods
would be like, A beech 18 with one engine might be more fun.....
(The attitudes expressed above are due to multiple bad experiences with
the french in france(not worth capitalizing)
They would probably screw you in the exchange rate and charge you 50$
per jump.....
One time we made the mistake of skiing into france from the italian side,
not only did they over charge us to get back, but stopped the lift half
way up. And my list goes on........
Andreas KNABE
I am sure you must have real bad time in France for speaking so !!!!!
But I have also a bad experience in the State and I'm not hungry against all
american people ...
If you are affraid to be screwed in the exchange ... change before living USA.
Then you will pay your jumps FF 145.- (after paiement of the registration
FF 200.-)

Never had a bad experience in France but.... I might be tempted to go
to this Espace Boogie, but there seems to be a *lot* of bureaucracy.
I mean, what the hell is an E111 form???
Okay, I suppose I could call them. But any comments on the
degree of fun to be had there would be appreciated. The announcement
is a little off-putting to say the least. Not the most cozy
invitation I've seen.
Thanks in advance, Stephen
E111 .... hmmm.... F111? .... Naaaah.

required by national medical services to prove that you are a EU citizen
and are therefore allowed to have medical services equivalent to, in this
case, French nationals.
Bureaucracy yes, especially as I also carry a EU passport.
As a EU citizen I carry my E111 (as it costs nothing), but I also carry
medical cover specific to skydiving to top it up to something I am
prepared to accept.
I would expect that the E111 would be available in Denmark (is that what
the ".de" means?), a bureaucratic country when it comes to EU
participation.
