Sri Lankan Visitors In May 2019, we had two visitors at Arthur Troop House from Sri Lanka. Chief Inspector Priyantha Senanayake and his friend Arasakone Ravinranath, who has lived in the UK for the past 24 years, paid us a visit during their tour of Nottingham. Priyantha and Arasakone were given a tour of IPA Headquarters, before having a photo shoot. They then went on to visit several tourist attractions around Nottingham City Centre, before returning to London.

Do you know anyone who would like a French or Italian Pen Pal? We have 2 requests from IPA Members for a 12 year old girl in Italy and a 14 year old girl from France. They would like an English Pen Pal who could exchange emails or letters with them in order to both practice their English and learn more about our country. We have confirmation from France and Italy that the parent is an IPA member. Please contact mail@ipa-uk.org for their email address. The person taking up this request should be related to an IPA Member.
