is the 70th anniversary of the founding of this great organisation by
Sergeant Arthur Troop from Lincolnshire and the founding branch are very
proud to be hosting the 2020 National
Council Meeting (NCM) in the historic city of Lincoln.
To
run alongside the NCM the Lincolnshire branch of the IPA are
considering hosting a friendship weekend. Planning is in the early
stages and so we would appreciate expressions of
interest by 31st July 2019 if you would consider attending this
weekend. Lincoln is a fascinating, diverse city to visit, it is an ideal
destination for a city break: offering an experience rich in history
combined with independent boutique shopping, great
arts and culture and a wealth of places to eat and drink. Please send
expressions of interest to: lincolnshire@ipa-uk.org

Lincolnshire Police history and an
opportunity to meet operational police officers and staff who work in

seafront and have some fish ‘n’ chips or an ice cream or both! On the
way back there may be an opportunity to stop off
at Batemans Brewery for a tour and a taste of local ales.
