Essex IVC Social and Activity Club<br />

Essex IVC was founded in January 1968 by<br />

Janet Jones, Valerie and David Fox, Ivan<br />

Burgess, Andrew Phillips, Malcolm<br />

Shepherd and Melvyn Saunders, and they<br />

formed the first committee. The club quickly<br />

grew by way of newspaper adverts and posters,<br />

and by October a monthly Bulletin had been<br />

introduced and there was an event on nearly<br />

every night of the month. There were 150<br />

bulletins being produced for members; however<br />

the mainstay of the Bulletin the pub night, did<br />

not appear until three years later. How times<br />

have now changed.<br />

nearly everyday of the year, with some days<br />

having four or more. Events are only limited by<br />

the imagination of the membership and the law.<br />

The club has members living all over the county<br />

of Essex and events are put on throughout the<br />

Essex area on a regular basis and also much<br />

further afield.<br />

National IVC – Essex IVC is part of a National<br />

Organisation, and is one of nearly 50 clubs with<br />

around 5000 members in the UK. There are<br />

many activities organised countrywide, to which<br />

all clubs are invited.<br />

Major Club Events – We hold about three or<br />

four major events every year organised by the<br />

Committee for our members. These include a<br />

Summer Ball and Christmas Dinner and Dance<br />

evenings where our members can dress up in<br />

posh frocks for the ladies and dinner jackets for<br />

the gentlemen.<br />
