    From the IPSA website:
    Suspension of all IPSA activities

    The IPSA has met with both Government representatives and representatives of the Firearms Consultative Panel (FCP). At both meetings the current policy of the DOJ in relation to Practical Shooting and options available to the IPSA in relation to the Dept. of Justice position were clearly explained. I have been in direct contact with the Executive Council of IPSC and I have set out our Governments position and policy re practical shooting. Under Article 11.1 of the IPSA Constitution I am Suspending all IPSA /IPSC Activities from 11.00 GMT 23 November 2008 until further notice. Please also note that it is my intention to invoke Article 8.19 with formal notice to follow. The Committee have scheduled further committee meetings this week and we will be issuing a full and detailed briefing document prior to the EGM which will take place within the next 14 Days.

    kind regards,
    John
    RD IPSA

    Ouch, that doesn't sound pleasant at all.

    Hopefully the IPSA can find some compromise position with the DoJ which will allow them to resume some or all of their activities.
