Last issue Brian recalled his memories of 50 years with the IPA.
Brian has kindly provided a few photographs to illustrate the
friendships he has made over those 50 years.
Northants BBQ
On Sunday 20th August, 2017 the Branch Meeting and Summer BBQ was held and
hosted by our treasurer, Bill Tapp and his wife Maureen. Another fantastic day with a
good turnout of members and friends. Many thanks to the hard work of our hosts and
helpers.
This was also a special day for one of our members, Richard (Dick) Gimber who was
presented with a certificate for 50 years membership
of the IPA by our Chairman Nick Smith. Congratulations goes to Dick on this achievement.
It was pleasing to see the numbers attending, the Branch is going from strength to strength
and looking forward to future functions.
Green Mole
Anyone?
Pauline Osborne
, Thames Valley Branch Social Secretary
Ever experienced Green Mole, no?, nor had the diners
from Thames Valley Branch until they ventured to
Dorindos Mexican Restaurant in Abingdon.
The lunch was well attended by members who sampled
tacos, enchiladas, spicy chilli prawns as well as authentic
Mexican beer and entering into the spirit, members donned
elaborately decorated sombreros and entertained each
other with their unique renditions of - not really sure - on the
maracas!
The meal was rounded off with generous portions of
churros, hot fried pastries dipped in chocolate sauce.
And the Green Mole? … A sauce made from chillies,
pumpkin and sesame seeds.
