Convention 2002 - Copthorne Hotel, London Gatwick October 4th & 5th
This year the convention was held over two days to allow
time for presentations, an all day sale and much more socialising! IPBA
members from all parts of the UK, USA and Europe attended and the event
was enjoyed by all.
Friday was for presentations
and party time and Saturday was an all-day fair with the public being
admitted after lunch.
We were delighted that Lalique were again represented
and we welcomed Amouage who joined us for the first time this year (-
but not the last!).
Presentations were made by Frank and Elizabeth Creech (Elizabeth is the
current IPBA President), Ken Leach and Jan Burke.

The Copthorne London Gatwick is an
international 4 star hotel in a country house setting. Built around an
original 16th century Sussex farmhouse and set in 100 acres of gardens
and woodland, guests are able to enjoy a tranquil, rural environment even
though the hotel is only four miles from Gatwick Airport.
