Oral History Project Competition Sean Hannigan who is looking after the Oral History Project is delighted to announce a competition aimed at any member’s relative who can use their smart phone to make a 3 to 5-minute video of an IPA relative talking about their own IPA History. Y ou may have a child or grandchild or another IPA member who is able to make the 3 to 5-minute video. The entries will be judged by Brian Kennedy who has successfully made over 12 Oral History Videos several of which were showcased at this year’s National Council Meeting in Durham. The competition closes on the 15th of September 2017 and for advice on how to enter, how to produce a video and some questions you should include please e mail Sean at vphannigan@ipa-uk.org The prizes range from gift vouchers to smart phone microphones and accessories. Good luck and Happy Videoing.

IPA Cultural Financial Help Sean is keen to remind Branches and Regions that support is still available to help with some Cultural events within Section UK. Y ou will recall the article in the last magazine where Steve Bretherton and his father in law attended the British Police Symphony Orchestra when a pair of tickets were offered as a competition prize. If you have an event that you want me to support then please let me know what the event is and how I can best support it by e mailing me on vphannigan@ipa-uk.org
