Ex Ipswich Town Legend and ITISC Honorary member, John Wark, is coming to Haverhill ! Yes he is coming to the Rose Tavern on Friday June 5th . He will on the night, be giving a talk on his football career which is highly entertaining and afterwards there will be a chance to ask questions. John is going to bring along his PFA Trophy along with his FA & UEFA Cup Winners medals for all to have photos with and this is a rare opportunity for all Town fans and one that should not be missed. There is also a chance to purchase a signed copy of his autobiography ‘Wark On’ at £18 which is a great read, so be sure to get yours!!. John is also going to bring along something to auction off as he kindly stated that he would like to donate something for a local charity and Sandra of the Rose Tavern has suggested ‘The Meadows Care Home’ so again, thanks John for this kind gesture. There will also be some great prizes to win as well. At the end of the evening, there will be a presentation to John from the fans and this also should not be missed. As you can see, another great evening is promised at the Tavern with another ex legend and one that all Town fans should not miss.

ITISC – Another Legend joins the Supporters Club
We at ITISC are pleased to announce that Fabian Wilnis has agreed to become an Honorary Member which is great news for our club and he joins others such as Sir Bobby Robson and John Wark to name but a few. We are proud to have Fabian on board and look forward to many more years of association and hope it is not too long before we see him back in Haverhill again!

The 'Evening with Fabian Wilnis' was a Hugh success and one that every Town fan in attendance enjoyed. A hugh 'Goodbye and Thank you' Banner greeted Fabian when he arrived and everyone was given a complimentary souvenir programme and Fabian Wilnis designed Chocolates on their arrival and it was obvious from the start that a lot of time and effort had gone into this event. The evening saw Fabian kick off with a Question & Answers session and this went down well as Fabian took his time on every question and answered everyone honestly. This was followed by Live Music from the impressive Asa Jennings who is an up and coming prospect in the Music Industry and everyone was knocked out by Asa as he got everybody's attention with his singing! There is to be more news on here soon about Asa so watch this space. The raffle and Auction took place after this but the best was kept till last as the Presentations took place. Fabian was amazed at the gifts he received when he collected a Portrait of himself, a tribute by a local journalist on a mock newspaper, a bottle of Champagne specially designed to celebrate his Testimonial and an engraved Tankard. Lastly, he received a Good Luck folder with messages from various Clubs and Managers such as Alex Ferguson and the Man United team, Liverpool players, Mark Hughes, and Harry Redknapp to name but a few. A travel lap top bag was also given to Fabian for his wife as a thank you for all the help she gave in organising this evening. Kevin Beattie, Town's legend and our President attended the event and it was good to see another ex player supporting Fab's Testimonial. The 'Goodbye and Thank you' Banner will be flying high yet again, this time at Portman Road at Fabian's Testimonial game so keep an eye out for it!! Fabian plays his final professional game on Sunday April 26th at Grays FC before his retirement and it will be good to see Town fans there to send him off. Pictures of the event can be found in the gallery section and an interview with Fabian can be found in the Interview section. Haverhill can be proud of holding this event and ITISC would like to thank Fabian and his committee for attending and keeping faith in the organisation and hope they went away happy with what they saw.

ITISC A HIT IN BELFAST: At Town's recent pre season trip to Belfast, we at ITISC were lucky enough to make a presentation to Paul Leemans who was celebrating his Testimonial. We made the presentation after the game in the club's suite and we also presented a gift to Glentoran FC as well. This went down well - so much so that we have been invited back by the Glentoran fans and this is something we are looking into.

ANOTHER MEMBER FOR ITISC: ITISC have managed to get another top ex player to join as an honorary member and it is no other than John Wark. Wark was a defensive midfield player with an astonishing goalscoring record. He could also play effectively as a central defender, and occasionally as a striker. 1981 saw Wark set a record for the UEFA Cup competition by scoring a phenomenal 14 goals, including one in the final as Ipswich won the cup. He triumphed personally that year too, winning the acclaim of his fellow professionals to earn the Player of the Year award This is why we at ITISC are happy and proud to welcome John on board.

On Saturday 12th January, ITISC received a letter from Marcus Evans thanking the club for his honorary membership.. He also went on to say that he hoped we will all be watching Premiership football in the autumn. We at ITISC would like to add our sincere thanks to Marcus for coming back to us and for accepting the honorary membership as well. Our supporters club has got some big names associated with us, Kevin Beattie, Sir Bobby Robson and Marcus Evans.. Long may this continue...

ITISC HAVE THEIR OWN NEWSPAPER COLUMN: Yes it is true - The Suffolk Free Press have allowed us to do a monthly column on their website http://www.suffolkfreepress.co.uk/itisc/Beattie39s-Barmy-Army.4272977.jp is where to go if you are interested..

ITISC WELCOME SIR BOBBY ON BOARD:

Great news for ITISC - Sir Bobby Robson has announced he will be honoured to accept an honorary membership for our supporters club. We at ITISC are so proud to have him on board... with both Kevin Beattie and Sir Bobby we feel very honoured and proud to be associated with these ITFC legends and thank them both for being associated with us.

We have also sent our congratulations to Sir Bobby on his recent Lifetime achievement award at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year ceremony and feel that this is fully deserved to a great guy who helped put ITFC on the map.

Well done Sir Bobby !!
