Welcome to the Website of I.P.M.S Christchurch. As the club only meets once a month our website is only updated once each month shortly after each meeting, due to other commitments this can be up to a week sometimes. Please enjoy.

Welcome to the July 2009 update. As has become the norm we had a great turn out at this month's meeting with well over 30 members attending. This month's workshop was kindly put on by David Stone on the how too's of Photo Etch. This was a very informative session with David making it all look very simple and answering many questions, thanks David. Also the committee held a meeting before the club meeting began and the main topic on the agenda was the 2010 Nationals that our club is hosting. We now have a confirmed venue at the Woolston Working Mens Club and with a number of vendors requesting to attend things are well on their way. The dates are to be confirmed but will be sometime in September or October 2010. We will keep you posted. Remember our meetings are open to anyone, all welcome. Please scroll down for more information and images from IPMS Chch's July meeting. Thank you for your support over the years and please continue to keep up to date by checking out our new website: www.wix.com/ipmschch/IPMS-Chch
