FAQs
How many members do you have? Who runs the club? How do I book for events? Who joins London IVC? How do I join London IVC? What is the age of people I will meet?
Where does the money go? Your membership fees will help:
Is it easy for new members to get involved? Yes, we go out of our way to introduce them to the club. New members are welcome to attend any event but some may find it easier to start at a smaller event, perhaps something in which you have a particular interest or simply over drinks in a pub. Do mention to the event organiser that you have just recently joined. Theatre goers almost always visit a restaurant before or after the play and walkers usually lunch in a pub and often also go to a tearoom or cafe afterwards. Indeed, almost everything we do has a social element. Once you know a few other members, going to a party with maybe 75 attending is a lot easier. When you find an event you enjoy, attending fairly regularly initially will soon help you feel part of the club.We all started off going for our first time once!. Where in London are the events? There are activities and events going on in the centre of the capital as well as events in surrounding areas within the M25. Country walkers head off to the more attractive areas of the Home Counties and beyond. Weekends away are held all over the country. When can I start going to events? You can attend IVC events as soon as you pay your subscription and receive your login details. What sort of events does London IVC offer? London IVC offers everything from walking to tennis, parties, meals out, pub evenings, wine-tastings, theatre & weekends away. There is an abundance of activities and social events to choose from. With our voluntary, member-led approach we can also easily offer events catering to minority interests which don't need great numbers to be successful. Perhaps an astronomy lecture at the Royal Institution or fossil-hunting on the Jurassic Coast? Do I have to be a member to attend London IVC events? In general only members may attend our events. We have also set up a number of Meetup groups which give non-members the opportunity to trial the club by coming along as a guest to any of a limited number of events we open to the London IVC & Meet-Your-Neighbours local Meetup groups. Bear in mind that while club members will be going to these events normally they won't book through Meetup so the list there of those attending will not be complete. What is the ratio of male to female members? This varies marginally from year to year but only within about 5% of a healthy 50/50 balance. Currently women form just over half of the membership and there are more female than male joiners. |
