The Irish Hang Gliding & Paragliding Association (IHPA) is delighted to announce the resurrection of the Celtic Cup Competition, for both hang glider and paraglider pilots who come from one of the six Celtic nations: Brittany, Cornwall, Isle of Man, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.

The Celtic Cup will be held at Mount Leinster over the Bank Holiday weekend from 1 to 4 May 2009, which coincides with the 35th Anniversary of the founding of IHPA.

There will be a wide variety of accommodation options and IHPA looks forward to welcoming partners and families to enjoy Ireland’s famous Céad Míle Fáilte (one hundred, thousand welcomes).

Music, drinking and debauchery are planned as well as a very special evening on the Saturday night (2 May).  There will be a back-up plan in the event of unfavourable weather, as well as details of sight-seeing and recreational options for non-flying, non-retrieving visitors.

The hang gliding event will be managed by IHPA HG Competitions Officer, Geoff McMahon, who can be contacted on +353 86 233-8127 and the paragliding event will be managed by IHPA PG Competitions Officer, Eoin Hogan, who can be contacted on +353 86 812-2030.
