University of Bath-based Blues supporter James Farthing is gauging interest in setting up a South West of England branch of the Supporters Club. While there are branches all over the UK and world, there currently isn’t one in that part of the country.

James asks anyone interested to send an email to james.farthing@btinternet.com with the subject line SW ITFC Your Name, for example SW ITFC James Farthing, making sure it contains the following information:

Full name

Email address you would like to be contacted on

Location. Nearest town or city is fine, just to identify the main locations in the South West where people live

And any other information that you may feel appropriate

HarryfromBath added 14:24 - Jul 10 Cheers, whoseroundisitanyway. I know a dozen or so Ipswich fans who are not TWTD posters, and there were a good few supporters who chipped in when this was started as a thread yesterday. Fair play to James for getting this started. TWTD has been both a lifeline and a godsend for most ITFC supporters living away from the county. We have been able both to keep in touch with news and have really good discussions with fellow supporters, and it would be wonderful if we could get a supporters club off the ground.

linhdi added 14:34 - Jul 10 London branch chair is David Gale, email is galedr1949@aol.co.uk. There's no website or facebook page so far as I am aware, but if you send David an email you'll get added to membership and get emails with branch updates. Branch holds several socials a yeaer, including at least one with first team players & Milts. Back end of last season, we also had a pub meet-and-greet with Ian Milne, new joint-MD. There's also a highly successful darts team, and many of us meet up around away games, especially in the London area.
