IPA News

Ayrshire visit to Liverpool Bill Petherick Chairman of Ayrshire Branch. Members and friends of the Ayrshire Branch recently spent a very enjoyable weekend in Liverpool. During their stay they met up with some local members who ensured the spirit of the IPA was well to the fore. Thanks Bill Gee and team for making the weekend a memorable one.

Notts BBQ Neil Hallam – Editor.

The July meeting of Nottinghamshire Branch was a BBQ hosted at Arthur Troop House. The sun shone and the burgers and sausages were tasty. Thank you for the invite. I was able to attend with a few Blue Knight friends after our ride out.

Potential new Special Interest Group (SIG) – Classic Cars Brian Baston , Treasurer – IPA Birmingham, West Midlands Branch As a classic car enthusiast and an owner of two classic vehicles, I have thought some time about whether there is sufficient desire across the UK IPA membership to form a Classic Car Special Interest Group. I believe there will be and would like to scope out the opportunity if there is sufficient interest. The Motorcycle SIG has proven that IPA members from across the UK are willing to travel to meetings and events and there must be other members who have classic cars that would like to meet maybe once or twice a year. If there is sufficient interest, we could combine our meetings at some of the many events that take place nationally and regionally. Can I ask any interested members/families make contact with me in the first instance via babaston@hotmail.com . I will assess the level of interest and look to take the group forward.
