Peter Clemons’ Post

It's that time of the year again, when I put my trust in Eurostar & Avanti West Coast to whisk me to the eternally sunny city of #Coventry Coventry Building Society Arena for one of our community's most important gatherings: BAPCO Annual Event. I've included a number of pictures of years past below & I'll add further text (& names & references) later today when I've got a stable Internet connection. (2 earlier versions have already "snapped" & disappeared into the ether!). I'd just quickly like to thank Duncan Swan, Chris Lucas, John Anthony MBE & the whole British APCO team for the kind invite to the VIP Reception later today & Annual Dinner tomorrow. I'm also looking forward - as always - to the now legendary annual UK Home Office Emergency Services Network (ESN) update on Thursday from John Black, Steve Kelly & Faisal R Mahomed. Safe travels everyone & I'll see many, many of you later in sunny Coventry! Peter Clemons Quixoticity-EU P.S. Now that I've got a more stable connection, I'd like to comment on a selection of some unused photos from previous BAPCOs: Two old industry friends, Ken Rehbehn & Matthew Johnson; an excellent #NTN overview from Andy Sutton MBE; Igor Vinogradoff dressed up as a French gendarme; wise words from Ian Thompson bursary awardee, Dr Jonathan Sinclair. Photos from 2 BAPCO dinners with Renaud Mellies appearing in both! & the TCCA-Critical Communications session led by Tero Pesonen & Mladen Vratonjic with Janis Lövgren speaking & Nina Myren, Christophe Gregoire in the panel. And finally, proof that the sun really does shine in Coventry! Let's make lots of new memories again this year!
