26th Exchange of Sequences with the IPF AV Group in Ireland and the East Midlands
AV Group
Some club members do not travel to other events & competitions,
so rarely see work outside of their own club. The idea of the exchange
is to see work produced by different regions and to receive feedback.
This
is not a competition or to show new or the 'best' work from the club, but that from
a range of
members at all levels. It is more like a 'Members Sequence
Evening' where the work is discussed &
constructive comments made.
This
way each Group will benefit from the comments & see a range of work at all levels
from different
areas.
