| Carl Day, Chairman |
Currently running a Logistics supply Chain Management Company specialising in wines & spirits (hic!),
Carl has been a Town supporter since he could carry his milk crate to Churchmans. Even though the Mecca
of Football is Portman Road, he enjoys the camaraderie of the away games. Regardless of where and when,
through the highs and lows, Carl will always be proud to wear his Ipswich colours and will always continue
to support Town and his other favourite team - that whoever is playing against Norwich at the time!
He feels that being part of the Trust will empower supporters in a way they have never had before
and enable them to make the difference.

Colin has been a Town supporter for 38 years and is a season ticket holder in the Cobbold Stand,
and is committed to giving supporters a say in the way their club is run. Between 1978 and 1993
he went fifteen years without missing a game home or away in this country. He continues to attend
all home and away games again following a return from a five-year business assignment to San
Francisco. Originally from Ipswich he now lives in London and is a member of the Institute of
Chartered Secretaries and Administrators. His favourite player of all time is Allan Hunter,
although the best without a shadow of doubt was Kevin Beattie. His most abiding memory is the
FA Cup win in 1978.

| Jane Summerfield, Treasurer |
|
Born in North Suffolk where some turned 'to the dark side' and supported you know who, Jane was set on
the path to a lifetime of pain and glory by her Father who threatened to put her up for adoption if
she did not support the Town and took her to her first game long before she could see over the wall
round the pitch. A financial adviser by profession, Jane has been a North Stand season ticket holder
for many years and votes Wembley 2000 as the happiest day of her life. However she believes that
her attendance at the Tuesday night fixtures in February when it is sleeting, you can no longer
feel your feet, and Town are being beaten at home by a bottom of the division side, is perhaps
more a measure of the extent of her devotion to all things ITFC! |
| Mary Cotterell, Membership Secretary |
|
Mary has recently been appointed Membership Secretary and is hoping to communicate with members via email using the Supporters Direct Intouch database system. She has been following Town since a teenager when Colin Viljoen played – she reckons he had the best footballers legs ever. |
| Graham Steel, Funding/Social Officer |
|
Born in North Suffolk where some turned 'to the dark side' and supported you know who, Jane was set on
Exiled to East Anglia in 1993, Graham thought that the only live football he would see would be the
occasional Hartlepool away game (born in the North East he saw his first Pools game “before The
Beatles had a hit”). Infrequent visits to Portman Road soon became common and within two seasons
Graham, his partner and son were season ticket holders in the family area of the Britannia Stand.
Committed to Trust principles, he believes those with a seat in the stand should have a seat on the
board; an objective he says he will pursue with all the tenacity of his favourite Town player – Micky
Stockwell.
