Green Drinks

Green Drinks Richmond upon Thames is a social event open to all eco consciousor eco interested people.  We started this local meet-up over four years ago as a social networking opportunity for people involved in local environmental groups, people interested in what's going on, and people who are interested in volunteering. However, the Drinks have grown into much more than that with many new friendships formed. Come along, enjoy yourself in a relaxed atmosphere with like minded people. We are usually a mixture of 10 or more people working in the voluntary/charity sector, public sector, green businesses, local volunteers and interested people, and of course consuming green drinks is not compulsory!

There have been a couple of changes to the Drinks. We now meet on the first Tuesday in the excellently refurbished Fox Pub, Twickenham. We gather from about 6pm till 9ish with people dropping in and out as they have time within these 3 hours. Sometimes we stay later and sometimes we go for a meal afterwards. Please look for the little green drink picture (on the right) on our table and or for green drinks on our table. The pub serves a good food so even if don't want to drink alcohol, you can pop by for a soft drink and a bite to eat.  The Fox Pub is on the Church Street, Twickenham (the quaint paved street in central Twick) TW1 3NR.

Ham Green Drinks (Richmond upon Thames) is a similar social event meeting specifically in Ham (between Richmond and Kingston). The event is organised jointly between the Ham United Group and SWLEN as we have a number of joint projects running in the area. Ham Green Drinks provides an opportunity for people in these projects to meet socially in addition to anybody and everybody with an interest in the environment. Ham Green Drinks meets in the Hand and Flower pub, 24 Upper Ham Road, Ham , Richmond upon Thames TW10 5LA (map here) from 7pm.
