IPAF past presidents meet

IPAF recently hosted an ex-presidents meeting at its office in Basel, Switzerland.

The numbers for the meeting, the third such get together, were sadly depleted due to a number of last minute cancellations. In spite of this the five delegates were given a full update on IPAF activities and strategies while offering a range of suggestions, observations and advice.

The meeting was followed by a cruise on the Rhine and dinner, meeting attendees included ex-presidents chairman Frank Huish, John Barker, Peter Bennett, Steve Shaughnessy and Leigh Sparrow.

Previous meetings have been held in London and South West France, there have been 17 presidents of IPAF in total, including Wayne Lawson the incumbent. Three are deceased - leaving a total of 13 past presidents.
