Hello and welcome to Tees Valley IVC!

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.
