Gets
Creative
to Raise Funds
For well over forty years Sussex branch has been twinned with Rouen
branch, Section France.
The two branches have a strong relationship and
visits are made on an annual basis.
To raise branch funds, Rouen branch hold a market every September.
Sheila Boniface, the wife of 11 Region and Sussex branch Secretary Adrian
Boniface, reached out and offered her help - deciding to use her creative
skills to produce items that could be sold at the market. Sheila spent many
weeks knitting a fantastic variety of child friendly scarecrows. Her efforts
were truly appreciated and offered a boost to Rouen's branch funds -
making a total of 150 euros.
Paul Reeves is the 2012 winner
of the 10 Region, Clay Pigeon
Shoot. Paul was presented with
the 'Dave Ross Trophy' (a trophy
named in memory of IPA
member Dave Ross
)
by Dave’s
widow Jane
.
Several IPA members and guests
competed in the event which took
place at 'Flambards Farm',
Purleigh in Essex. The shoot was organised by 10 Region
Secretary, Steve Hunt, who unfortunately had to be on duty -
so missed out on the fun.
Second place went to Pete Condon - Chair of 'K Branch. Pete
was presented with a runners-up trophy by Graham Ferris of
grahamsclayshoot.co.uk
