Dynamic Tri-Gun Competition2014
11th October 2013
Dear President and friend,
To celebrate our 50th Anniversary since Malta was accepted as a full member of the IPA family world-wide on the 30th April 1964, IPA Malta Section will be organising a Dynamic Tri-Gun Shooting Competition which will be held between the 16th – 19th October 2014. Annex 1.
The shooting competition itself will be held over two days; on Friday 17th and Saturday 18th October 2014 and will be open to all IPA European Sections. Those Sections wishing to participate can do so by sending one team made up of two competitors. Unfortunately since logistically we are only in a position to accommodate a number of participants, registration will be accepted on a first come first service basis. Technical and practical details of this shooting competition can be found in Annex 2.
Competitors will be given the final details about the competition and other important information during a briefing which will take place on Thursday 16th October, 2014, in the evening during a get-together before dinner.
Unfortunately, I.P.A. Malta Section is not in a position to cover expenses related to travel, accommodation and meals. However, arrangements have been made with Bella Vista Hotel (Qawra near St. Paul’s Bay) to reserve preferred rates for competitors. Further details on accommodation arrangements can be found in Annex 3.
I.P.A. Malta Section looks forward to your participation and to receive your registration form (Annex 4) duly completed in due course. Registration closing date is the 31st January 2014. Please do not forget to include your travelling literary and arrival at Malta International Airport.
Where the participating documents (Annex 5) are concerned, it is important to note that these are not only necessary but must reach the National Treasurer Joseph Mamo, IPA Malta Section Office, Police Headquarters Floriana, Malta (email ) by not later than the 30th April 2014.
It cannot be stressed enough that without the necessary documentation in hand, no one will be allowed to participate during the competition.
We look forward to welcoming you to our Island, Malta in the centre of the Mediterranean.
Yours in Friendship,
Dione Bugeja
I.P.A. Malta Section
National President.
