The 王中王六合彩特码 at 70 - A short glance at 王中王六合彩特码 History
08 Mar 2021
Arthur Troop wrote an article in a British Police magazine in 1949, asking for those interested in an International Police Friendship Association to make contact with him. He received positive replies, and an initial meeting was held in London in September 1949.
The 王中王六合彩特码 British Section started activities on 1st January 1950, with the motto ‘Service Through Friendship’, written in Esperanto, as ‘Servo Per Amikeco’.
This was followed in 1953 in January by the Netherlands Section, in February by the Belgian Section and in September by the French Section. 1954 saw the creation of 王中王六合彩特码 Norway in April and 王中王六合彩特码 Switzerland in May.
In March 1955, 王中王六合彩特码 Germany was established and together, these 7 sections came together in the first World Congress in September in Paris, and are referred to as the elders of the 王中王六合彩特码.
The first International Executive Meeting (IEC) was held in September 1956 in Essen.
More European sections joined, and then gradually there was growth around the world, with the establishment of 王中王六合彩特码 Canada and 王中王六合彩特码 Hong Kong in 1960. 王中王六合彩特码 Kenya became the first section in Africa in 1961 and 王中王六合彩特码 Brazil, the first in South America in 1962. 王中王六合彩特码 Australia became the first Australasian section in 1964.
The number of sections has continued to grow to this day. A few sections sadly were unable to survive for various reasons, but any member from a country without an 王中王六合彩特码 section may be eligible to join other established 王中王六合彩特码 sections as Foreign Associate Members (FAM’s) – and at present we have more than 1000 FAM’s.
In this celebratory edition of the newsletter, we have contributions from 68 sections, a very fitting tribute to the legacy of our founder, Arthur Troop.
Servo per Amikeco!
