Applications for MFIAP – Concession for 2025

FIAP have recognised that changes to the rules for the application of MFIAP were introduced at short notice and could adversely affect those who are already working towards application for MFIAP.

The new rules for 2026 require applicants for MFIAP to have achieved EFIAP/platinum to qualify for application for MFIAP whereas previously the applicant was only required to have achieved EFIAP.

Those who have already achieved EFIAP but not EFIAP/p are invited to apply for MFIAP as soon as possible. The closing date for receipt of such applications is 1st December 2025.

If you would like to apply for MFIAP please contact your FIAP Liaison Officer as soon as possible as there are processes to be completed before the application can be submitted to FIAP by the FIAP Liaison Officer.

The FIAP Liaison Officers are:

  • England, Northern Ireland and North Wales – Howard Tate – fiap@btinternet.com
  • Scotland (SPF) – Libby Smith – spfflo1@gmail.com
  • Wales (WPF) – Peter Young – fiap@thewpf.co.uk
  • Results from the 2025 Barrian Cup

    The 2025 edition of the Barrian Cup was a great success with a good turn-out and some excellent prints. Barry CC have asked us to thank all those clubs who entered and everyone who attended for making it such a great event.

    The Barrian Cup Trophy was jointly won by Bridgend and Monmouth with 97 points each, the first ever joint winners in the history of the event. Rhondda finished a close third on 96.

    Congratulations to the winners of the Dave Cowdrey Trophy (Tony France of Rhondda) and the Mike Lewis Cup (Emma Woodhouse of RPC). It was a pleasure to have Dave Cowdrey’s daughter Karen ‘Kaz’ Cowdrey present her Dad’s award.

    The event was judged by Gareth Martin AWPF CPAGB and his individual scores can be seen here.

    Finally in recognition of the contribution from Barry Town Council, a big thank from Barry CC goes to the Barry Town Mayor and Mayoress, Councillor Dennis Clarke and his wife Janet who kindly opened and closed the event.
