The Parachuting Society was first mentioned through an advertisement in the McGarel in November 1975, which was encouraging new members to join the society and attend sessions at the weekends. New members were advised to complete a course which usually consisted of paying a £20 fee, training, the hire of a plane, parachutes, the first jump, provisional membership of the British Parachute Association and return transport to the airfield.
In December 1978, society members travelled to Sibson Airfield near Peterborough to complete parachute training which consisted of lectures on stability in the air, canopy control. Emergencies and parachute landing falls.
Towards the academic year of 1978/79, it was reported in the May edition of the McGarel that eighty people had trained with the society and over thirty had the opportunity to jump.
