The Spencerettes
were one of the Original Member Corps when the Association
was formed in 1972 although had been in existence since
1969.
The corps founders, the late
Bob and Dorothy Spencer actually saw the association founder
Mrs Joy Townsley, and her Daughter Tina on Opportunity Knocks.
It was after they met and Joy started to coach the Corps
that the idea of the IBTA was founded.
The Spencerettes train on
Thursday evenings between 6 - 9pm at Wyvern Technology College,
Eastleigh and coaches children from 4 upwards.
For further information regarding
how to become a member of the Spencerettes, please contact

St. Martin’s was set up in January 2004, by Anne
O’ Connor & Toni Thompson. In the first class there
was 14 kids who trained in a small room in St. Martin’s
church for the first six months. After their first competition
in October 2004 we moved to St. Martin’s school to
a bigger hall. Since then the Corp has really grown and
we now have about 30 girls aged between 4 & 15, who
train twice per week.
Our greatest achievement so far was winning Most Progressive
Corp in the Irish Open Championships in Oct 2005. The girls
are really enthusiastic about baton twirling & are hoping
to Travel over to the U.K for Nationals Next Year

The Sussex Supremes,
formally the Oakmeeds Majorettes were formed when the late
Pam Allen set up the group for her daughters in 1978. Back
in the late 70's and 80's we were a bit dated in our furry
hats and polyester dresses but hey - we thought we looked
good!
In 1985 we discovered there was more to
this then marching in street parades, we changed our name
and got a new image - lycra & sequins, and became members
of the IBTA. We have now been competing with the IBTA for
over 21 years!
Our members aged between 3 and 38 years
old are all local girls from the mid-sussex area, with one
member who commutes from Watford!
Most recently, we have been awarded a number
of prestigious awards including the High Points Cup at the
following competitions: IBTA 2004 winter champions, 2005
national champions, 2005 summer champions, 2006 winter champions,
2007 national Champions and 2007 Summer Champions!! Now
also 11 individual Top Twirler awards too!! This is a result
of the hard work and dedication of our members and their
devoted teacher and judge, Dawn Cavanagh, who is also the
IBTA Teachers Rep and coach of the Horsham Bluebells. Without
Dawn, we would be lost!
The Sussex Supremes are members of both the IBTA and BBTSA
and train on Saturdays at Oakmeeds School and Mondays at
Chailey Heritage School.
After the sudden passing of our founder, Pam Allen, mother
of Elaine, Sussex's Corps Director in 1996, we hosted a
memorial event to give all proceeds to charity. This bi-annual
competition has now topped over £10,000 for charitable
causes thanks to all those who continue to support our event
- you do yourselves credit………
On Sunday 16 November 2008, we will host a charity competition
raising funds for Chestnut Tree House, children's hospice.

aged between 4 and 16. We work hard to make twirling fun
and exciting and to develop our twirlers to compete.
