THRILLSEEKERS are needed to jump out of a plane with the Red Devils over South Cerney in aid of the Wiltshire Blind Association.

The Red Devils team are jumping at the airfield near Cirencester and have dates available for people wishing to experience a parachute drop.

They are asking participants to raise a minimum of £340 with a £40 deposit paid at the time of booking.

Caroline Langmaid, community fundraising manager at Wiltshire Blind Association, said 'This is the ultimate challenge and an unbelievable experience not to be forgotten.

"I've jumped twice now and each time has been incredible.

"The thrill of jumping out of a plane at 14,000 ft strapped to a Red Devil and then free falling for 50 seconds was something I'll never forget."

These jumps are open to anyone aged 16 to 60. Anyone over 40 will require a doctor to complete the Declaration of Fitness form.

You will need to be under 15 stone and not be taller than 6ft 3.

Anyone who would like to sign up for the experience can contact Caroline on 01454 777674 or e-mail her on caroline.langmaid@btinternet.com where dates and more details of the jumps for 2005/06 can be given.

Wiltshire Blind Association is the only charity dedicated to the blind and visually impaired in Wiltshire.

After funding from the RNIB was stopped in 2003, the charity have had to find all its funding from their members and the public.
