Activities in the IVC

IVC members throughout the country organise a total of at least 1000 activities each month. This means that there are likely to be at least four activities a week in your local area, so you need never be stuck for something to do ... especially at the weekend! The activities in the IVC are all organised by ordinary Club members.

What events do we organise? We aim to provide a programme of events that appeals to as broad a cross-section of our members as possible and to ensure that we have a balanced programme with plenty for everyone.

The types of event are as varied as our members and can range from a simple get-together in a local pub to a night on the town, from ten-pin bowling or ice skating to something more ambitious such as a canal cruise, a weekend away or even holidays abroad.

In addition to these broad-appeal events we aim to cover as wide a cultural spectrum as possible and our programme includes trips to the theatre or cinema and visits to art galleries, museums and other places of special interest.

Many members have particular interests such as bird-watching, scuba-diving or hill-walking and are often willing to share their experience and knowledge with others who may wish to broaden their outlook or horizons.

The numbers attending events can vary considerably, depending on the type of event, so whether you are happiest among a large group, or prefer the intimacy of smaller gatherings, there will be something for you.
