posted: Jun 17th, 2010 The second meet of the United Kingdom Skydiving League 2010 season was held at the Cark dropzone in the north west of England. 17 teams made the journey to Cark, and for the second time this season it was the junior categories that were most popular with seven teams registering for the Rookie Class, eight in the A Class and two in AA.
