If you want to join Herts & Beds IVC, your first step is to contact our Prospective Members Officer, who will be able to tell you about upcoming events in your area, and send you a bulletin and an application form. He will also provide you with a password to enable access to online calendar so that you can see event details.

As a prospective member you will receive 3 monthly bulletins free of charge. During this period, you are welcome to attend any of the events. This gives you the chance to see if you like the club and the things they do, and also provides the club with the opportunity to see if you fit in with them. Once you have attended 3 events you are welcome to apply for full membership. This is usually just a formality.

Single membership costs £14 a year. Joint membership, for couples, costs £28 a year. Membership fees go solely towards covering our costs.

Herts & Beds IVC is, logically enough, for people living in Hertfordshire or Bedfordshire. We also have members living in the neighbouring parts of Buckinghamshire, Middlesex, London, Essex, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire.

For people living near the borders of two IVCs, dual membership can be a good idea. For example, members living near the Hertfordshire/Essex border may find it worthwhile to be members of both Herts & Beds IVC and Essex IVC.

If you live somewhere else but work in our area, you would be welcome to join.
