Hi everybody, I'm back from conference and had a great time with over 400 delegates from all over the world. I met region 13 members and UN police monitors from UK, Eire, Albania, Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia, Georgia, Germany, Denmark, Romania, Norway & Sweden. Apologies for anyone I've forgotten. All our award winners came excpet for Phyllis who was too ill to travel, but she hopes to join us in Newfoundland next year. So if you didn't come this year, please start planning for next as the ladies fromSt John's are planning hard for an enjoyable time. You can fly direct from Heathrow, but not sure where else from in Europe.
We had lots of input form great trainers and a special visit from the Deputy Secretary general from the UN too! We also had trips to a Bourbon distilllery, the race track, stud farms and the last night was at the world famous Kentucky Horse Park. So now you know what you missed. Lots of pictures will be in the next magazine!
I hope to keep the Blog more up to date now so please let me know what you want in it and let me know your news so I can include it too for all your other european contacts to read.
Best regards, Julia

Belated Entry
Greetings to all Region 13 members. Apologies for not keeping our blog up to date, but I have been busy with family and holidays. I am sure you all understand - its that time of year! We are only 10 days away from conference. Who is coming? There are lots of European flags on the IAWP front page so I am looking forward to meeting some of you and some new european contacts. Please meet me in Lexington and then we can put faces to names.
Congratulations to our Scholarship winner from the very eastern outposts of Europe! Not often we have a scholarship winner from Region 13 which makes this even more special.
No doubt you have heard all the news about the riots in London and now all Police leave is cancelled in order to prevent any further troubles, crime or destruction. Its unfortunate it has spread to other cities as it is nothing to do with anything other than greed and crime. Please pray it ends soon - if only so our President can get to conference!
Keep in touch and bon voyage for conference delegates,
Julia
