Hi folks, 

I am still awaiting nominations from your camera club. If none of your members are interested in the workshop, please let me know.

(For your information; an email (and one reminder) has been sent to all camera club chairpersons about this event. If you are a current 'NIPA Judge' and would like to actively participate and contribute, or, if you are not a 'NIPA Judge' but are interested in judging - then please contact your camera club chair. 

It is up to each camera club to make nominations - and these must be done - as suggested in the email. The workshop is only open to members of camera clubs, affiliated with NIPA, in Northern Ireland. (Please do not make any nominations here on the blog. )

The purpose of this update is simply to make sure that all camera club members are aware of the event, and to let them know that, if interested, they should contact their club chair - to find out more. The closing date for nominations is Monday 20.1.14.

Mark Allen NIPA Sec.
