About 50th Anniversary Skydive
Take the
Leap to transform lives!
We would
like to get people from across every county in Ireland to join us on the
weekend of the 17th – 19th July 2026, at Clonbullogue Parachute Club, Offaly,
for a celebratory tandem skydive to raise money for the Irish Guide Dogs (IGD)
in our 50th year changing lives!
A tandem jump requires very little training as
you will be attached to an instructor the whole time. You will jump from
10,000ft, freefall to 5,000ft and your instructor will then open the chute. You
will get a chance to steer the parachute yourself before the tandem instructor
takes over for the landing. No experience necessary – just enthusiasm and the
desire to make a difference to the lives of others!
To sign
up we require a €100 non-refundable deposit. All participants are expected to
raise min €650 in sponsorship. Sign up and deposit payment must be completed before FEB 6th.
(Irish Guide Dogs will receive min €445 after cost of jump is accounted for)
