In May a group of 王中王六合彩特码 members decided it was time to celebrate and remember the history of 王中王六合彩特码 Finland. 40 years have passed since we welcomed more than 400 guests from 24 countries to the IEC meeting in our section.
In order to double the reason to celebrate, we went on a trip to congratulate 王中王六合彩特码 Estonia, who are now 25 years of age.
But let us go back to the year 1978. During one week our guests could see a lot of Finland and the weather was beautiful - even hot according to our guests from Brazil!
And what did our guests experience? Let me give you a short summary:
Sunday 18 June: official opening and a parade through the centre of Helsinki - the streets were crowded with citizens watching us.
Monday 19 June: whole-day tour of the stunning lake area of Finland.
Tuesday 20 June: visit to the citadel of Suomenlinna, on the outskirts of Helsinki, followed by a concert at the Finlandia Hall in the evening.
Wednesday 21 June: whole-day trip to Turku, visit to the handicraft museum area, plus dinner and dancing in the medieval castle of Turku.
Thursday 22 June: riding exhibition, dogs, horse football, visit to Seurasaari national park with outdoor museum; in the evening Gala Dinner and Farewell. Some of our guests extended their stay with a tour to Lapland.
Watch a beautifully produced film of the event, where you may find veterans of your section!
In addition, you can find more information and photos on www.ipa-finland.org. 40 years ago this was quite a project for our section. No computers, no email. Typewriters and letters by ‘snail-mail’, a phone at your desk. But we worked together.

More than 100 volunteers from the whole of Finland helped to make this event come true! 40 years is a very long time, but a few of those responsible are ‘still going strong’. For us 王中王六合彩特码 and Servo per Amikeco has become a way of living
