TRAVEL SECRETARIES
Regional and Branch
Travel Secretaries
Regional and Branch Travel
Secretaries also organise trips and tours to meet with IPA members at home and
abroad e.g. mini cruses and short shopping trips.
These trips are encouraged and supported.
Each of the 11 Regions can apply for a travel grant from the National
Treasurer through their Regional Committee. You will find a list of Regional
and Branch Travel Secretaries at the end of this page.
Even if a member does not
book their holiday with the IPA Travel Bureau the National, Regional or Branch
Travel Secretary will help and assist where possible with travel information and
IPA contact names abroad.
IPA
Sections abroad have asked that, in order to ensure that all visitors are
catered for properly in the best spirit of friendship, they are given the
following notice:
Individual
visitors
6 weeks
Groups
6 months
This
notice enables local IPA Sections to organise the hosting visitors (if required)
and the planning of an itinerary so that our members can meet other IPA members
and derive maximum benefit for themselves and for the organisation. When
travelling abroad dont forget your IPA membership card and yearbook. The IPA network covers 56 countries worldwide and by simply producing
either your membership card or the yearbook, you can secure access to services,
premises and persons en route or at your destination.
At the back of the yearbook you can find names, addresses
and telephone numbers of all Secretaries General and of Secretaries of the many
IPA houses worldwide and also a list of guesthouses in Ireland offering special
rates to members.
These
names and addresses are also available in other sections of this Website.

IPA TRAVEL INSURANCE
Travel Insurance IPA Members
Worldwide
Travel Insurance inOne Step for IPA Members
Only 72*
Insurance
is essential when we travel and yet its the last thing we think of when
planning our trips and holidays. In
fact, most of us would take regular trips throughout
Ireland
without thinking about cover.
With so many options on the market these days, at varying prices, it can be a
job in itself to get the cover you need at a reasonable price.
Brassington Insurance has the solution for IPA Members with a very competitively
priced product to suit all. Whether
its cover for you, you and your partner or you and your family this policy is
difficult beat.
The
cover is annual, so ideal for those couples who manage to get away a number of
times a year.
For
the active, Winter Sports and Scuba Diving, up to 30 metres, are included at no
additional cost.
This
Worldwide policy covers trips throughout
Ireland
that include two nights pre-booked accommodation.
You
can travel up to 45 days per trip and have the option to pay an additional
premium to extend to 60 days should you wish.
Comparing this to other providers for example,where a couple would be asked to
pay 69 plus an additional 37 for Winter Sports cover, a total of 106.
In addition, by comparison many of the benefits offered by others will
not be as good.
As
you will see in the table below, the benefits available through Brassington
Insurance are excellent.
