IVC is a group of professional men and women who organise and enjoy a wide range of social, sporting and cultural activities across England, Scotland and Wales.

We're serious about having fun - and we don't just want to keep it to ourselves!

We're always looking for new members, of all ages, whether singles or couples, to join us, so they can meet new people, try out new activities and above all, have a great time!

Take a look at this introduction and the rest of this website and just get a flavour of the excitement and camaraderie being part of IVC can offer you.

Why not join one of our many trips and weekends away? Choose from sightseeing and shopping in France and Germany, relaxing Center Parcs holidays, walking weekends, right through to Alpine skiing trips.

As a national organisation, we have many IVC clubs who go climbing and play indoor hockey too. For the great outdoors, join IVC hikers and ramblers whose excursions range from canal side strolls to demanding treks into the hills.

That's why we begin by welcoming new members at special introductory events. IVC really is the club where activities and people mix.

Each IVC has been provided with one group membership card per 120 members. This means there will be many YHA weekends organised by IVC clubs and YHA Outdoor Groups that you will be welcome to participate in.

Our arrangement with the YHA enables individual IVC members to join the YHA at a 50% discount off the normal subscription (offer ends 31st December 2003).
