IVC Frequently Asked Questions
Who runs the club?
Collectively the members do! We have a committee team but by far the biggest contribution comes from our members. Many members give their time freely but nobody is pressurised into doing anything they don't what to. Who knows, you could be hosting events of your own in the very near future!
When was IVC started?
IVC was started in 1947 by a group of Cambridge undergraduates who wanted to continue their social activities during vacations and after leaving university. Find out more about the history of IVC here
