Rebecca Armstrong and Rich Rust are the Members who are volunteer Media Co-ordinators for the BPA.  You can contact them at skydivingnews@live.co.uk

The BPA has achieved considerable coverage for BPA World Champion women's 4-way FS Team Airkix, and before them Team VMax, in the local media where the team members live.  We want to help publicise other skydiving achievements of BPA Members - don't worry, you don't need to be a World Champion!  If you’ve done anything just that little bit special - won a medal, achieved a record, or anything else in skydiving that's newsworthy in your local area - please let us know. 

Just jot down in an e-mail the Who, What, When, Where and Why together with your 'phone number and the names of your local newspaper/s, radio stations, websites etc.  Also a couple of relevant digital pictures (on ground and in-air) would be great.
