This year, the IPA Birmingham, West Midlands branch have arranged a Friendship Weekend for visitors from across the UK and abroad.
We have a wide variety of activities already booked and IPA colleagues, friends and families can join us for some or all of the activities shown below.
If you are a fan of the British drama 'Peaky Blinders' then you will be able to see some of the sights and learn more about the history behind the series. Additionally, there will be lots of opportunities to see other parts of Birmingham and meet old IPA friends and new!
The weekend activities so far include:
1 - Friday 10th May 2019 - 1900hrs - A welcome buffet and evening at Tally Ho! Sports and Conference Centre in Birmingham. This will include a welcome briefing for the weekend, music, quiz, photographs and a chance to catch up with old friends and new. Cost £13.00 per person.
