WABITS
- so, who are we then?
The West Anglia Branch was formed in 2003, and covers an area roughly
the same as that of Anglia TV West. Towns in the WABITS "patch" include
Bedford, Milton Keynes, Northampton, Sandy and Luton, plus all the
surrounding towns and villages.....
We are always pleased to welcome new members, so to find out a little
bit more about us, click on the "Who Are We?" and "The Members" links

Who Are We?
Formed in the Spring of 2003 - the West Anglia Branch is affiliated to
the main Ipswich Town Supporters Club. See us in the Gallery.
Our area?
The West Anglia Branch is the local ITFC Supporters Branch for Town
fans living in and around what is roughly the area covered by Anglia TV
West. As a rough guide, this area stretches from from St Neots and
Sandy to the East, Buckingham to the West, Northampton to the North and
Luton/Dunstable at the Southern end.
Our aims?
We are aware that there are a large number of Town fans in the West
Anglia area - we hope that the Branch will provide a means of keeping
in contact with other Town fans, either at regular meetings or via the
internet/email.
We arrange travel to home games - car sharing where possible - often
meeting in Legends after the match. Gives us a chance to see the
highlights of the game, (and avoid the queues of traffic heading away
from Portman Road!!).
We also do the same for occasional away games especially if they are
close to home or someone in the branch really wants to visit a ground
they haven’t been to before.
Organise occasional non football social events
Our meetings are held every three months or so - we have now adopted
the Pilgrims Progress pub in Bedford as our venue. We intend to hold
one of our future meetings (within the next few months) at a local ten
pin bowling alley (or equivalent venue), something a bit different from
our normal meet up in a pub.
Yahoo Forum
We also have a forum on Yahoo, the membership currently stands at
nearly 60 (as at February 2008). The Yahoo forum is primarily for use
of WABITS members, but membership is open to Town fans anywhere.
We use it to post messages, arrange travel to matches (Home and Away),
discuss the latest news about the Town, take part in polls etc.
