A Little Extra

Dorset Changes Dorset branch members have joined members in surrounding counties, following consultation. The former Secretary for Dorset branch, Will Burnett said, “Attempts were made to contact every member in the branch to canvass views on the future of the branch and any preference for which branch they would transfer to should closure take place. Following consultation, and with approval from Region 7 (South West England) it was decided to close Dorset branch and transfer members to the closest alternative branch.” Remaining funds of Dorset branch will be allocated proportionally to those branches. Members can transfer to any branch of Section UK at any time. Visit: www.ipa-uk.org/Update-Your-Record

It’s Unbelievable IPA member Bill Lloyd and his wife Linda discovered all is not what it seems when they took a trip to Canada – apart from IPA hospitality that is!

winters and 6 inches of snow; a ‘transport café’ owned by Celine Dion, valued at 4 million Canadian dollars; a shrine considered too small with a church the size of St Paul’s built on it, a Grand Prix track ride – in a Canadian member’s car and finally, taking Linda to 12 miles of shops but managing to escape instead to a Jazz festival . What was totally believable was the IPA hospitality, with help from Canadian members Harry Summerton, Andre Langlois, Guy Babin, as well as friendship from members and wives of Montreal.

Bill, from Bolton Branch, Linda, and friend Pauline decided to drive a part of Canada in a 35 foot mobile home. “The unbelievable weather worn Canadian roads bounced the vehicle so much, poor Pauline damaged her back,” said Bill. Other improbable sights included the Olympic Stadium with futuristic roof which doesn’t open; shops designed underground to cope with -40 degree

“Our conservatory was so hot in summer and freezing cold in winter we hardly ever used it... …but now we’ve replaced the old glass roof with a Guardian ™ fully tiled warm roof we can sit back and relax. It’s cosy & warm, nice & quiet and our conservatory is now the room we always wanted it to be”.

In just a few days we will transform your old conservatory into a beautiful living space...

...and here’s how we do it, first of all we remove the roof, we will then construct & install the lightweight aluminium frame, next we add the high performance insulated roof before the interior is finished to your specification.
