I always kept in touch with Sergio Feller an IPA member in Merano who very kindly met us at Verona airport with his son and took us to our hotel at the resort. On the Wednesday evening Sergio and the President of IPA Merano Senor Pistore Luciano went to the hotel for a small, but surprise, reception. I was presented with a bottle of the local wine, highly recommended, and a joint of spec (bacon). Alison and I were invited to join the Branch for an evening meal on the Thursday at a fish restaurant in town. A very memorable evening, a typical IPA social with about 60 of their members and wives many of whom were remembered from the previous visits. We made our way through I think six courses all of different fish dishes. These were topped with a final very welcome course of sorbet. It was great to rekindle the contact with the Merano branch and it might just be that next years’ Snow Week could return to Merano. Merano is a superb resort with good quality hotels at reasonable prices and ski slopes to suit all standards from ski school to the most testing of Black Runs. Ray Sutton 11 Region, Sussex
