Not as old and travelling not as far as William Shatner, 75 year old, Broadwindsor resident, Peter Davies and his daughter Emellia have arranged to do a 15,000 feet parachute jump on October 31st for the Royal Navy Association. The duo have launched a Crowdfunder page with all the proceeds going to the RNA who could do with an input. Please show your support by visiting their Crowdfunding page:

Both parachute jumps have already been paid for privately and 100%* of the money raised will be given to Bridport RNA (*after Crowdfunder fees have been deducted).
Peter has been a full member with the RNA for a number of years and is a Trustee of Bridport Sea Cadets. His daughter Emellia has been a long term supporter of the RNA and indeed she suggested the parachute jump at Dunkeswell Airfield. The jump is set to take place in the morning of Sunday, 31st October.
The Chairman, Charles Davis, Honoury Secretary, Robin Bickers & all committee members of Bridport’s RNA have pledged their full support for this project.
This project is also being supported by Broadwindsor.org to enable full transparency of all donations received. Please direct any queries to: info@broadwindsor.org
Young people from our Parish and surrounding areas are always welcome to attend Bridport Sea Cadets. Read more about them HERE.
An excited Peter commented: “It was Emellia’s idea! Even a 50p donation would be great as they’re really poor! Any assistance is greatly appreciated. ”
Broadwindsor.org’s Editor and local photographer Annie Collins will be there to report on the event 🙂
