Here are some figures from the December 90 APF newsletter. 1989 figures
appear in brackets.

No. of jumpers				  1104  	  (1248  )
Total no. of jumps 1989/90		104005  	(114046  )
Total no. of mals 1989/90		   233  	   (285  )
Jumps/mals				   446  	   (400  )
Jumps/person				    94.2	    (91.4)
Mals/person				     0.215	     (0.228)


There were no figures about the male/female ratio. Why don't you give the
APF office a ring, they are usually very helpful.
