Repack Clinic***** POSTPONED *****
The SDHGPA repack clinic is postponed until further notice. In the past, Patrick Henry High School offered us a classroom, cafeteria and gym space for a small rental fee to cover the overtime cost of custodial services. Patrick Henry no longer has the capacity to allow us to use that location for the clinic.
Out of the ~15 locations we attempted to hold the clinic, several did not have the proper gym ceiling to conduct the reserve deployment simulator or were unavailable. The 2 locations that were available charged a rental rate of over $1500 which exceeds the budget the club has for this kind of operation.
We are in the process of rescheduling this event. As a guideline, reserves are recommended to be repacked at least once a year. If you are overdue, please seek alternative sources to have your reserve chute inspected and repacked.
If anyone can recommend a suitable of a location, please contact Roger Marsh @ (949) 795-9849
Suggestions and comments appreciated. Thank you for your continued support.
Best regards,
Bret Daniel
