What we’re about
Welcome to the North Staffs IVC Meet Up Group.
This group has been set up to give an introduction to the North Staffs Inter Varsity Club, a social and activities group for professional & like-minded people which has been going for over 60 years and has a wide range of social events and activities each and every month, all organised and hosted by our club members.
Our Meet Up group will alert you to our weekly club nights and also one or two of the other events from the many which our full members can attend.
Just a few words about our club – we have almost 80 active members, mainly in the 50+ age group. We're always looking for new members, whether singles or couples, to join us in having a great time.
We have no limits on what we may do, and are always open to new ideas.
You can make new friends, and have the chance to do new activities you may never have experienced before. Full members of North Staffs IVC arrange a number of events every month throughout North Staffordshire and further afield. There is a wide range to choose from and if there is something particular which you would like to do, you can become a member of the IVC and host an event yourself! Come along to one of our club nights for further information and a great welcome.
The NSIVC is part of the Association of Inter Varsity Clubs, which has around 40 clubs nationally with a combined membership of over 3,500. This also gives us access to many of the events hosted by other AIVC clubs and carries further benefits such as insurance for the adventurous things we do.
Further information about North Staffs IVC can be found on our website: http://www.northstaffsivc.org.uk
PLEASE NOTE THAT NOT ALL NORTH STAFFS IVC MEMBERS ARE MEMBERS OF THIS MEETUP GROUP AND THEREFORE ATTENDANCE NUMBERS ARE INACCURATE AND ARTIFICIALLY LOW.
