Open All Hours?
Nineteen members of Derbyshire branch enjoyed a guided tour of
Richard Arkwrights Mill, in Cromford, Derbyshire.
Cromford Mill, the
world’s first successful water powered cotton spinning mill, was built
in 1771 by Sir Richard Arkwright. Cromford Mills is one of the main
sites of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site.
It was a most enlightening and interesting guided tour. It was
followed by a cream tea in the Gothic Warehouse where our Chair, Bill
Storey, presented John Davenport with his 20 year Loyalty Certificate.
It was quite significant because John had also organised the trip.

Needs You!
Bob McCormack, London Reception Officer, and Tom Reilly, Chair
Middlesex Branch, has made an appeal for volunteers to assist with
visitors to London.
Can you give a little spare time to act as tour guide for
a day showing visitors the sights of London?
Tom said, “
We need more people who are prepared to volunteer and
occasionally host visitors to London.”
He adds,
“For years we have had individuals who have helped to deal with
the numerous visitors to our Capital City - and I really thank them. They
developed many personal contacts, which opened doors, and we depended
on them.
In a an effort to address the current shortage of volunteers, Bob and Tom
would like to propose that a London Reception Team is formed by volunteers
from in and around London that would assist visitors.
Bob McCormack adds,
“Sometimes visitors make requests to be met at the
airport. This in many cases has a cost implication regarding parking fees
and petrol costs if members are using their own transport. The ideal
situation would be to have an IPA representative at all airports - to meet and
greet and advise visitors on how to travel to their accommodation. So in
addition it would be beneficial to hear from volunteers who currently work at
the London airports.”
If you are able to assist or would like to volunteer please contact: Bob at
or Tom at

Engaging with competitors and visitors about the IPA and its activities; and
