Following a meeting with the CAA in December it was found that the impact to the DZ operation should be minimal with the worst affected period likely to be during the opening ceremony (24-27 July). This is midweek so will be manageable.

At other times throughout the Olympics (16/7-10/8) there will be a requirement for the pilots to obtain clearance from ATC whilst in the controlled airspace. The pilots and DZ will be fully briefed and it is not expected to disrupt our operation greatly.

The DZ will relocate during the period hopefully to Middle Wallop Airfield.

During this period, sadly we will only be able to accomodate A licence and above jumpers. The dates we will be at Middle Wallop are:

• 18th and 19th August
• 25th, 26th and 27th August
• 1st and 2nd September
• 8th and 9th September
