Who are we
INTRODUCTION
We are a club of about 70 members (at present) with a reputation for friendliness. We have a good mixture of long term and new members which creates a vibrant atmosphere, meaning that you can quickly get to know most other people and feel part of the group. Our activities are organised by members for members, therefore reflecting people's actual interests.
We are not a 'singles' club - many members are unattached, but couples and single parents are welcome too. Anyone over 21 may apply to join, but most members are aged over 30. Originally the club was intended for graduates, but nowadays there are many non-graduates involved. Having a sense of fun and wanting to make friends is more important!
The club was founded in 1977 as an offshoot from Leeds IVC and has grown over the years to our current membership.
Our catchment area includes Calderdale, Kirklees and parts of Bradford (districts of West Yorkshire), and a few people come from further away. We have no political or religious affiliation.
Other Clubs
We are part of AIVC (Association of Inter Varsity Clubs) which links 46 similar clubs and around 6000 people around Britain. The first IVC, in London, celebrated its golden jubilee in 1996. Members of any IVC are welcome to attend events organised by other clubs and each year there are a number of joint events held around the country.
