Celebrating 50 years

We are excited to announce that UK PA is celebrating its 50th anniversary on October 25th 2025. Please save the date and plan to come and celebrate with us!

In preparation for our 50th we are compiling as much historical information as possible, so we need your help. Please complete the information below and upload anything you have (ie. Pictures, documents, written memories) that you want to assure is in the UKPA archive.

We are thrilled that David Fahringer and Gerry Gairola are taking some time away from their retirement to guide this 50th anniversary UK PA history project.

We would love to connect with you. Please reach out to any of us with your memories and ideas about what should be included in the UKPA archive, or submit the webform below.
