Leicestershire branch
Christmas social
Leicestershire members and partners visited Leicestershire Police HQ for our
annual Christmas Social. A fun evening of games and other festivities included
‘Play Your Cards Right’, a Prize Swap card game and a ‘Beetle Drive’ using
snowmen and Christmas trees.
The Chair, Clive Wood, welcomed everyone, including National President Mick
Luke, who took the opportunity to present a lifetime honorary membership award
to Bob Gunnell. Bob has served for many years on the committee for our Branch,
the Camping and Caravanning Section and has long been a Branch Rep for Region
5 meetings. He now holds the position of Branch Secretary. He has also been
instrumental in ensuring that the IPA Race Trophy Days have continued despite
many problems in recent years. It is presently held at Mallory Park Racing Circuit in
Leicestershire and is able to continue there in no small part due to his endeavours.
Another presentation was made by Clive Wood, who is also the Chair for Region 5.
He called on an unsuspecting Fred Rankin, who is the Treasurer for Leicestershire
Branch and the Minute Secretary for Region 5. Fred has been involved in arranging
many functions for the IPA and has worked particularly hard in the Twinning Section
of Leicester City Council to maintain a close and valuable working link with Krefeld in
Germany, the twin city of Leicester. He also produces the Branch Magazine and has
been an ambassador for the IPA family for many years. His efforts were rewarded by
Clive presenting him with a certificate of Signal Service.

with their 50 year Certificates and gifts.
