Paul's "fun times" as a fan of Ipswich Town FC
Created by Jill 13 years agoPaul was a fan of Ipswich Town FC throughout his schooldays and a member of the Clacton Branch ITFC Supporters Club. Paul enjoyed many "fun times" along with his mum Jill, sisters Tracey and Nicola, Granny Mitchell, Auntie Pat and Uncle Kevin which included coach trips to away matches with the Clacton Branch, cruises to the continent with ITFC Supporters Club and taking part in the Clacton Carnival on the Clacton Branch float. Highlight of each season were the away match "weekenders", staying at a hotel and enjoying a fun packed itinerary. The attached photos bring back many happy memories
