Should we change where and when we meet? - Please tell us what you think

meeting in the pub

Happy new year all.

And with the new year, we were wondering about a new meeting place for our meetings, and wanted to get your thoughts. We’re really keen to make sure our meetings work for you, especially if you haven't been to our meetings before, because we always want more people involved, so now’s your time to have your say!

Over the years we’ve met in many different places and different days of the week. Generally we look for somewhere quiet enough that we can all hear ourselves (most important!), where we know we can get a table, that’s not too pricey, and that’s near enough to good transport links and accessible for people coming from various different places across south west London (or coming straight from work).

We’ve usually meet in pubs, but don’t have to if others would prefer something different, and we’ve also not looked for somewhere specifically child-friendly because it’s not been an issue so far, but again, could look into at that.

We currently meet in Brixton, and it suits a lot of us, but were thinking it might be time for a change. Maybe to somewhere more central that might work better for people coming straight from work. So maybe Pimlico, Clapham Junction or Victoria?  Or we’re called South WEST Greenpeace, so maybe we should go out further west, maybe Tooting or Balham?

At the moment we’re looking into the Ritzy or Kaff bar in Brixton, the Jugged Hare in Pimlico…. We did quite a lot of looking a few years back round Clapham Junction and Victoria, and didn’t find anywhere good, but things could have changed.

And we currently meet the first Monday of the month, at around 7.30, but would a different day be better?

So please use the comments field below to let us know what you think. Whereabouts would be best for you, and what day/time? And do you have a suggestion of an actual place to meet? Hopefully we’ll confirm in time for our next meeting, we’ll let you know asap. And as always, new (or returning) members, are always very welcome.
