INVITATION OF THE CIPC PRESIDENT

It has been a long CIPC tradition to have the European (slow) Pipe Smoking Championship organized by one of their member countries every four years.
The last time pipesmokers met for such an occasion was in 2012 when the beautiful city of Seville hosted the event.
Now, four years later, European pipesmokers and their families & friends can get ready for a visit to the wonderful, historic city of NITRA.
As president of the CIPC I am happy to invite you all to the “city on the seven hills” in Slovakia, some 84 km north-east of the capital Bratislava. NITRA has excellent train and bus connections with Bratislava and is easyly reach by car. The city itself has –besides good hotels- every possibility you can imagine to spend a marvellous weekend there.

On behalf of the NITRA Pipe Club and their members I would like to invite you all! Come on October 14th. to NITRA and have a great weekend culminating in the European Championship (slow) Pipe Smoking on Sunday October 16th. 2016 and enjoy your pipe!

Cornelius C.N. Crans MA.
President of the CIPC
