IRISH IPSC HANDGUN CHAMPIONSHIP IN 2012"On behalf of IPSC Ireland I am delighted that with the help and co-operation of our good friends in the UKPSA we will be able to run our Championships this year. A lot of people have worked very hard to make this happen, Kieran McCormick, the Dunnyboe Club, Fred Hanna, David Thompson, Bryan McEvily, the UKPSA Executive Council and the UK RD Vanessa Duffy. They all have put in long hours over the last few months getting all the details sorted out .Our IPSC President, Nick Alexakos has being instrumental in getting both regions together and helping us to forge new partnerships. I look forward to a great series of matches and some exciting shooting." The ITS will take the results of three of the matches in selecting the teams for Portugal 2013. One of your three matches must be an ITS match your other two best results can be from any of the other matches.

UKPSA IPSC HANDGUN CHAMPIONSHIP IN 2012
“On behalf of the UKPSA I am delighted to announce a series of graded practical pistol competitions that will be taking place at the Dunnyboe Rifle and Pistol Club, Strabane, County Tyrone and the Ulster Small Arms Shooting Club, Kilkeel, County Down. The results from the five competitions will be used to determine the UKPSA’s United Kingdom Champions for the respective IPSC Divisions.”
The UKPSA will take their members results from all five graded competitions and use the best three results to decide the United Kingdom Champions. Of your three results that will be used two of your results will be from the UKPSA competitions held at USASC, Kilkeel. Your third result will be from your best performance at any of the other three competitions.
The results from these five graded competitions will also be used, alongside other results and performances, in the selection process for the United Kingdom National Squad and Teams for the 2013 IPSC European Handgun Championships that will be held in Portugal
“As Regional Director for the UKPSA, one of the tasks that IPSC President Nick Alexakos set me when we met in 2011, was the re-introduction of properly run graded IPSC pistol competition shooting in Northern Ireland. Since the 2011 World Shoot XVI in Rhodes, Greece, ITS and the UKPSA have worked along with each other to achieve this goal. I thank those involved in the UKPSA Handgun Commission and of course our friends and neighbours in ITS for bringing about this series of Level 2 graded IPSC matches for the benefit of the members of both Association

“The UKPSA Handgun Commission and ITS are still working to bring about more Level 1 and Level 2 matches for 2012. More announcements will be made in due course. Plans are already underway to extend this series of matches and hold at least two Level 3 Championship matches during 2013. This will be great preparation for those members from both the ITS and UKPSA IPSC Regions who will be attending the 2013 IPSC European Handgun Championships and 2014 IPSC World Shoot.
