What we’re about
Hello and welcome to Tees Valley IVC!
We are a social club for singles and couples who want to go places, do things and get together. We are one club within a national association (AIVC) and covers a geographical area centred around the Tees Valley. Adults of all ages are welcome, most of our members are in their 30s to 50s.
You can find out more about us from our website at www.teesvalleyivc.org
We arrange regular monthly welcome events specifically for people new to the club, plus a variety of other activities. Check our events list to see what’s coming up.
Our events are organised for our members by our members, and we also have a committee that organises main events such as weekends away and a Christmas Party.
How membership works and what it costs.

- If you'd like to continue as a Meetup member after free three months, the cost is £6 per year.
- If you have attended a minimum of 3 events you can request an upgrade to full membership of Tees Valley IVC for an annual fee of £12. This entitles you to membership of a national organisation and access to all of our events, including main events, as well as the selection of events we advertise on Meetup.
