About us
Friendly Multi-Activity Social Club
We are a friendly multi-activity club that organises a range of social, cultural, leisure and sporting activities. Most of our members are graduates, professionals and like minded people living the Reading, Berkshire, and surrounding areas.
Wide Range of Activities
As well as pub evenings & meals out, there are BBQs & parties, theatre & cinema trips, skittles & ten pin bowling, walks & cycle rides. We have also organised music evenings & play readings, museum & country house visits, glow worm hunts, a balloon flight, and visit to Go Ape (a high wire adventure course).
Run by our Members
We are run by our members for our members, who are encouraged to take part in organising events. If you join you can organise the type of events that you would like to take part in, either something you enjoy already or perhaps something new that you would like to try for the first time.
Part of a Nationwide Association of IVCs
Thames Valley IVC is part of the Association of Inter-Varsity Clubs (aIVC), a nationwide association of over 30 similar clubs with around 4000 members across the UK. If you join our club you can go away on national events organised by other IVCs, such as holidays abroad, weekends away, or just day events. We also organise joint events with some of our neighbouring IVCs and share events with each other.
Welcoming New Members
Anyone over 18 who would like to meet new people and make new friends in a relaxed social club atmosphere is welcome to join. If you are wondering if you would fit in then the easiest way to find out is to join up and come along to an event to see what the club is like.
Joining the club
Thames Valley IVC is a well established social club, and we created this Meetup group to make it easier for people to find us and join the club. At most events we ask non-members to make a small contribution to the running of the club (e.g. £2). However after they been to a few events, and got to know us, people can apply to become full members of the club and pay an annual fee of £12 instead of paying for individual events.

How is artificial intelligence changing healthcare? Join Professor Antoni Chan in exploring how AI is helping doctors diagnose earlier, personalise treatments and improve patient care. Artificial intelligence is one of the most exciting developments in modern science and medicine. Explore how AI is being used safely in medicine today, the safeguards in place and how technology supports rather than replaces clinicians.
Using real-world examples from imaging, chronic disease management, and medical research, the talk will explain the science behind AI and what this could mean for patients and families in the future.
Professor Antoni Chan is Professor of Rheumatology and Translational Medicine at the University of Reading. He is also Consultant Rheumatologist and Clinical Lead in Rheumatology at the Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust.”
