INVITATION
Friday 24th June 2011 at 4:30pm
Police Club, McCauley Centre, Berrimah
The International Police Association National Executive Bureau 2011 Mid-year meeting will be held in Darwin during the weekend 24th to 26th June 2011.
A casual gathering will be held on Friday 24th June, from 4:30pm onwards at the Police Club, McCauley Centre, Berrimah. An invitation is extended to all I.P.A. Members, and interested serving, retired and ex-police officers to come along and join in the social get-together. We all know somebody who used to be a police officer in their earlier life and, what is not widely known is that membership is open to all current serving, retired and past officers who left the police force/service in good stead. We have many members who have served in foreign forces and who are now living in Australia so, chase up these people and bring them along.
Present on the evening will be the members of the National Executive (President, Vice President, Secretary General, Assistant Secretary General and National Treasurer) as well as the Chairman of the South Australia Region. We have also heard that we may have a visit from one of our Honorary Life Members who is currently travelling with his wife and hopes to be in Darwin at the time of the National Meeting Weekend.
Hope to see you there…..
In friendship
M. M. E. Harris
President
