50 years ago seven Midland men took part in the first Inst Of Bankers International Study Tour to Germany. There were 23 other participants from the other UK banks plus 1 from Malta and 1 from Ghana.
We left the travails of the 3day week behind going to Frankfurt and Hamburg for two weeks visiting Industry and banking institutions plus the odd enjoyable wine tasting. Most of us were ill equipped for the freezing conditions but had a hard working and convivial time before returning to Heath's austerity.
Found this picture I took of the otherp Midlanders.

A good time had by all!
