T o apply, you had to be 16 or 17 at the time of the IYG and be a son, daughter, grandson or granddaughter of a paid-up IPA member in 2019. I am pleased to announce that Angus Whittam, whose Dad, Harvey, is a member of the Thames Valley Branch, has been successful. I am sure Angus will be a fantastic representative for our Section. Vice President Sean Hannigan needs your help to Be On Time. Sean needs your help with part of the website which reflects Our IPA History, Our Time Line. T he IPA Time Line should reflect our own IPA History and that is where your help comes in. Sean is looking for pictures, documents, artefacts and information about events that belong to Individuals or Branches or Regions. These items should help build up a great Time Line for the IPA. Most Branches and Regions have experienced their own 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and even 60-year anniversaries. Sean is looking for pictures or documents or even a short paragraph on the anniversary event or other event, such as early town twinning or a branch visit to another IPA branch, perhaps outside the UK. If you know when your Branch or Region was formed, then please drop Sean an email at vphannigan@ipa-uk.org Cultural Diary Dates Just a few dates for your diary.
