John has kindly donated this fab prize, which includes two nights B&B on a self catering basis plus course tuition on either April 20th-22nd or May 11th-13th.
Please also note that the Creggan Court hotel is offering a special rate to IPF members for the weekend of €50 per single room per night or €40 per person sharing per night. On the Saturday night at 7pm, the IPF will host a dinner at the Creggan Court. Tickets are €20 each and can be booked through the hotel.
