On saturday august 16, seven members of the Airbus training staff arrived at Juist for an important meeting.
The V.I.P meeting took place in the congress centre of Jubi Juist.
The celebrities were Uwe Neuhaus, Mareike Hammerschmidt-Wilkens, Gérard Soum, Francois Maurens, Gary Griffiths, Mick Fleming and Odette Peyran.The topic of this meeting was the ICP - Intercultural Competence Programme, which is a new developement by Airbus. What is ICP about? It contains 4 steps were apprentices and workers will be contacted with international competences. For example, one step is to establish international contacts. This contains that you do an exchange with another Airbus country or you participate with the intercultural seminar on Juist. On Juist you can get first impressions and you can collect your own experiences e.g. talking to people from different countries you can reduce your prejudices. People have come to Juist with some of their own ideas of other cultures. Reliable sources had said that French girls think that German girls don't shave their legs and that British boys are convinced that Germans girl don't shave their arm pits.There are some English who don't like tea and prefer to sing goodnight to their horse rather than their wife. In Spain there is only one special aera where paella comes from, and in Germany leather pants and leather braces aren't the most famous clothes. But we are growing together..............

Flying was not allowed in Germany after world war II in Germany. The years after the war were difficult for flying enthusiasts in Germany. No private flying was allowed. Very slowly some people could start again with their gliding as a hobby. One of them was Hans Kolde, he was in his twenties when he met a man called Theodor Wuppermann. Theodor and Hans were both interested in helping young people to learn flying and other interesting things. A rich industrial boss helped to found the gliding school on Juist. They followed the principles of Outward Bound Schools which are well known in Great Britain. The courses in these schools are a preparation for an active and responsible life. The first Outward Bound Schools appeared on the English coasts during the 2nd World War. At that time they went completely new ideas. They offered intensive courses of three to four weeks. Like every Outward Bound Schools the Juist location had been chosen because of its natural beauty. Nature can be wonderful and interesting but very dangerous aswell. These schools should mediate the key-skills: helpfulness, teamwork, creativity. The first Outward Bound School in Germany opened in 1952. In 1956 the JUBI was established on the island Juist .
In the late fourties flying was not allowed – now they fly like devils!
Hans lost his friend and colleague Dr. Theodor Wuppermann in a fatal plane crash. His dream of Outward Bound was kept alive until today. The first Outward Bound School in Germany opened in 1952. In 1956 the JUBI was established on the island Juist .

Local police have asked for witnesses regarding an alleged infringement of the regulations concerning walking on, through or over the dykes. The suspect was described as tall and well built wearing shorts and a rugby shirt. A destinguishing feature is a very large moustache. The incident occured shortly after the Jubi Football Tournament.

Anyone having information concerning the identity of the suspect should, in the first instance, contact the editor of the newspaper.

Outward Bound is a notion from the English sea travel which means so much such as a young person leaves his childhood behind itself to become an adult. The courses in these schools are a preparation for an active and responsible life.
The first Outward Bound Schools appeared on the English coasts. At that time they went completely new ways. They offered crash courses of three to four weeks. The local position had been chosen in the nature for these schools, because the nature can be wonderful, interesting and also very dangerous, too.
Therefore the JUBI is on the island of Juist. These school should mediate the key-qualifications (helpfulness, teamwork etc ….). This can be reached by challenges like flying.

A strong wind was blowing on Friday morning when Ralf took the kite workshop group to the beach. Equipped with a buggy and a sail they were ready to go land sailing. Once on the beach they started assembling the kite and before long everything was ready for the first ride. But the first ride wasn’t about to end up as a shining example…
Soon after the first two lucky ones took off, a gust of wind blew fiercely into their sail and swept them right off into the sea.
But luckily, after a dramatic self-rescue the land sailing could continue without further incidents.

Situated approximately 7Km down the coast of the island is the town of Juist. The path from the JUBI goes straight into the town itself and can be either walked or cycled. There is also a taxi, in the form of a horse and cart, available to and from the town during the day. The town has a variety of shops and amenities which stock a wide range of products to suit peoples needs and requirements. Shops include:
Supermarket – This stocks a wide range of food and drink including some British products.
Chemist – Products such as sun protection can be found here along with other medicines that may be required (after long nights out)!
Photography Shop – This shop stocks a wide range of cameras and photography accessories at reasonable prices. This shop is useful for those who like to take home memories of their time on the island.
Entertainment within the town is varied depending on the area within the town visited. Relaxing bars and hotels can be found to the south of the town and the clubs and larger bars to the north. Restaurants are scattered over the town and vary in the type of food available.
The Discotech on the North beach is the main club within the town. A wide variety of drinks can be found inside the club and the average cost to get in is 3 Euros. Music ranges from Techno to Rock and Roll and theme nights occur throughout the week.
A Nuunery near the centre of the town is a challenge for any willing person!
“Any chance Ace?”

After a long 14 hour journey from the UK the British lads could not think of anything better to do than have a 20 a side football match on the dunes of Juist. The Airbus Apprentices from around the world were divided into two teams of mixed nationality one team in shirts and one in skins. Because the unfit lads did not want to take their shirts off they nominated themselves for shirts. This selection may have caused the game to be biased towards the shirts team and had a major impact on the events during the game.
The match was played at a very high tempo with crunching tackles flying in everywhere. French divers overshadowed the match as false free kicks were awarded. One French Gymnast forgot he was playing football and tumble tackled everything in his way performing flips and spectacular dives. His name cannot be mentioned this tall, dark haired, shirtless French midfielder did not want everyone to know about his poncy profession in gymnastics.
The striking from the skins side was of international quality. Little can be said about the shirts as the striker who scored their opening goal changed teams after being sick down his shirt due to his excessive cheese and ham consumption over the previous 48 hours. The game ended with a superb British link up finished by Nick Hannam which his celebration can only be described as boring. After the game the Sun of Juist got some views of how the game went from the players.
British Nick, 19 from the shirts side said “At the end of the day we played hard but not hard enough. There were two many individuals not working as a team.” Not happy Nick went on to say “I am gutted and will not be able to sleep tonight. Finally he said “I am a winner and will demand a rematch, I was robbed, a qualified referee would not have given a number of false free kicks mainly blatant dives from the French.”
The Skins captain’s views were somewhat different to Nicks. A la Vietch says “The lads were up to premiership standard of fitness and effort.” He then stated “A few French signings disappointed him as they did not perform. They were too busy practising their diving technique and not playing the game.”
The German lads had the points board ready to rate the diving style and technique; some excellent scores were awarded to the French players. That night the skins celebrated hard into the early morning, however the lightweight French and Germans did not come out.

Head Activity and Event Co-ordinator under fire over match fixing and cheat charges.

Sports organiser, committee member and Airbus Arms Manager Paul Bennett (Brute) is facing prosecution over alleged match fixing during the mixed doubles pool competition.

Partnered by fellow colleague Nathan England the pair went on to win the event, which they organised, with little ease.

Favourite competitor Nicky Donaldson first made the discovery and commented with the following, “After being robbed of a victory in the beach football I couldn’t believe what was going on before my eyes”.

Nathan and Paul seemed very comfortable at the table fearing none of the competition from any opposing nationality. This probably coming from them knowing the outcome from the start.

Other competitors stated that the balls were being potted at a rapid pace, as though they had been placed over the pockets and even pushed in by hand, whilst backs were turned.

When questioned about the alleged charges Mr Bennett refused to comment. He has since buckled under the intense media pressure and tried to flee across the North Sea to the neighbouring Netherlands. Now supporting a bald appearance, (which cost him 15 Euros, a small price to pay for such a well planned and thought out sabotage). Mr Bennett has considered as armed and dangerous, local authorities have released this following announcement, “He is a fugitive of the law and is highly aggressive, approach with caution”.

The Cheat Sleeps

The Sleeping Assassin, proof that match fixing and fraud has taken its toll on this relentless criminal.

The 26th of June started as a normal day at JUBI-Juist. All of the four aeroplanes were in flight, just as normal. Within 10 minutes all this would change. A violent storm came over the island. It Ripped through the town causing people to go inside. The wind speeds were between 55-60 knots (100-110 km/h). It was important to bring down the planes very quickly before it was too dangerous to fly, wind speeds were over 30 knots! Three of the four aeroplanes landed at the Juist airport. The final plane had to make an emergency landing at Emden.
The three aeroplanes had to be rescued by people, who held and secured the rudder and the wing tips. There were 10 people securing each plane to prevent it from lifting, as the wind speed was still too high (80 km/h is enough to lift one of the “Falcons”).
In the evening when the storm was over, Baloo’s phone rang: Baloo said: “Hello!?” the other person answered: “Hello, who is there?” Baloo:”Hello, who is THERE??”, the other person answered: “It is the police!”, Baloo: “Sure, and I am Santa Claus!”, Police: “No, it is really the police.”, Baloo: “Yes, and I’m really Santa Claus.”, Police: “O.K., if you don’t believe me you can call the police station at Norddeich, it is about your car.”

Baloo did not believe the other guy until he was phoned again by the police of Norddeich. They had no good news for him. At the airport of Norddeich the storm over turned one of the stationary planes. The plane overturned one and half times and then crashed onto the roof of a car. You can guess which car that was!? The car and the plane were written off.

Before the Airbus France employees had left Toulouse a box of wine was dropped breaking a number of bottles of extremely expensive fine wine.

The wine was intended to be drunk with a meal to be prepared by the French apprentices on the 21st August. It is uncertain who is to blame for the disaster but the culprit will be found, we know it happened before the wine was loaded on to the plane.
