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 Fig Tree Community Garden, http://www.figtree.org.au (or nominated alternative). Fig Tree Community Gardens, is locate in Albert Street, Wickham (enter via the 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). 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 mix in. 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.
