The 2018 Ulster open was planned to take place on Saturday 30th June and Sunday 1st July 2018 based at the Kilcronaghan Centre Tobermore.

If on, entry fees are as follows:
1) Weekend Two Day event - £35 or Euro 40. This includes accommodation, registration, evening meal (with some beer and wine), breakfast and where possible retrieves.
Accommodation - Separate arrangements can be made for accommodation for £20 or Euro 25 per person per night if required. Camper vans are accepted in the car park.

RESERVE PARACHUTE REPACK
Annual Reserve Repack Antrim Forum, 20 Lough Rd, Antrim BT41 4DQ Thursday 1st Feb 2018
Its that time of the year again, a chance to see what is hiding behind the red handle on the side of your harness. As you know it is recommended that your reserve parachute is deployed and repacked at least once a year.
Around a third of the current members turned up and deployed their reserves from the swinging rope. Repacking prompted a bit of head scratching at times but in the end everybody got their reserve 'chute packed and installed in the harness.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the reserve is installed in the harness CORRECTLY so that it can easily pull out without twisting and jamming - i.e. have the deployment bag installed with handle attachment uppermost.
