Hello everyone,
The UPCA would like to update you about the World Cup of Pipe Smoking being held this year in Poznan, Poland from October 25-27. We are proud to once again send a TEAM to the competition. So far, Team USA consists of the winner of the National Pipe Smoking Contest, Lester Young, UPCA Vice President Nathan Davis, and UPCA Treasurer Mary Rice. We know they will make us all proud.
That being said, Team USA may have up to 5 members. While UPCA is not able to fully sponsor another team member, we may be able to provide smaller travel subsidies if anyone is interested in representing Team USA at the World Cup. Please contact either president@unitedpipeclubs.org or upcasecretary@gmail.com to be considered. If your application is chosen, we will be in contact before the end of July with details. Travel to Poznan is relatively inexpensive, so a little help may go a long way.
And while we’re discussing financial support, we would like to remind you that we have contest pipes for sale from both the 2023 and 2024 competition for $100 each! Proceeds from all pipe sales go directly to ensuring we can hold a National Pipe Smoking Contest and we can sponsor a team to compete in the international competition every year. Please contact upcasecretary@gmail.com to purchase a pipe.
Let’s wish Team USA the best of luck and hope they enjoy their time with their fellow pipe smokers in Poznan!
