The Birmingham branch started in 1965 and the West Midlands branch a few years later. The two branches merged in 2011 and celebrated their 50th anniversary in 2015. The branch currently hold four meetings a year in Birmingham and a number of other social events throughout the year.
The branch has links with Mannenheim, Berlin and Frankfurt and a number of branch members are regular attendees at the Gimborn IPA International Conference Centre in Germany. Some branch members have been active with visiting other IPA branches worldwide and a number have been active for many years at both regional and national level, supporting both the regional and national IPA committees.
The branch has a strong 'charity' ethos and regularly hold charity events to raise money for local and national charities. You will always experience a warm welcome from branch members at any of our meetings and events!
