The first SOS Scrambles took place on January 19 at Bedford tunnel, where six rounds of International Bodyflight Association 3-way random wind tunnel dive pool were completed. Scoring was to 45 seconds from the breaking of the first point. The event was very successful with much fun and hilarity and loads of camaraderie. Not a bruise in sight. Great result.
Unfortunately, at the last minute Freddie deMan could not take part and Michelle Garwood was an emergency stand in (even though not yet a SOS member) but it meant the other two team members could still fly.
