FIFE FANCY FEDERATION

The IOA are pleased to announce that the FIFE FANCY FEDERATION have joined the IOA’s affiliation scheme, they have also had their own COM ring accepted and these can now be used at all COM Shows, orders from Fife sec Paul Larkin. The only problem is they also sell split rings well these cannot be used in COM shows. Paul Larkin will give each member a bespoke ID Code number.

Breaking News – Annual Leave

From the 1st of January 2019 to the 21st of January 2019 the IOA offices will be closed as we will be at the World Show in Holland.

No orders will be sent out until the 21st January.

Important Notice

Apologies, due to a small number of members actions we will only ship items to members when funds are confirmed as cleared.
Please note – if you require rings quickly then the fastest payment method is debit card.
