Story

THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR SUPPORTERS & DONATIONS, CAROUSEL EVENTS LLP RAISES OVER £2280 FOR HOSPITALITY ACTION.

Nick Venables, Hannah Godfrey and Alex Sacker have successfully completed a skydive on Sunday 27th January 2008 in aid of Hospitality Action at Hinton Skydive Centre near Banbury.  Each fo the team from Carousel Events LLP who fell with a trained instructor, found themselves freefalling at 120mph to around 5,000ft then opening their chutes where suddenly everything went completely silent, giving the opportunity to take in the experience, have a laugh with the instructors and gliding the remaining distance in about 4/5 minutes on what was an unseasonably mild and gloriously sunny day over the English countryside.

All the team described the experience as "awesome!", adding "Can we do it again?... it was just amazing and knowing that we have been able to enjoy an experience of a lifetime whilst making a difference to Hospitality Action and their beneficiaries".

The team at both Carousel Events LLP and Hospitality Action with to express a HUGE thank you to all of the sponsors for their generosity and of course, Geoff, Mike and everyone at Hinton Skydiving Centre for making the day unforgettable.

A representative from Hospitality Action commented "the three of you have done such a fantastic job on the justgiving site, exceeding your target.  You should be really proud of yourselves"
