Blog

Welcome to the middle of 2010, I don't know where the year gone. With the weather still hot and the evenings now short, it is the perfect time to join us for an enjoyable and cosy evening to help reflect on the interesting times.

Sponsor and Prizes

A 'door' prize and raffles will (often) be run and all proceeds will go to a nominated charity. Thanks to the various generous sponsors during the years. Donations of prizes welcomed (please discuss with Scott).

We are able to promote worthwhile environmentally aware businesses, perhaps even hold an event at your premises.

The raffles often support Figtree Community Garden, http://www.figtree.org.au (or nominated alternative). Figtree Community Gardens, is locate in Albert Street, Wickham (along side Wickham Croation Sports Club). It's a great venue to hang out, do some gardening, play giant chess, practice lawn bowl (free if you ask nicely) or just want to smell the flowers (many varieties).

About the organisers

Greendrinks in Newcastle is run by a small team of volunteers (Scott and now Toby, hi, and thanks to Mark for all of his great work over the years and who is now travelling Australia with the family). The organisers support the greendrinks concept of providing an opportunity to meet people and interact socially. We have many interesting conversations, and we encourage you to join in and mix too. Greendrinks internationally is supported by people who think that thinking is important.

Keep an eye on this website for updates. And for inclusion on the mailing list email Scott or Toby.
