I'm new to Greenwich and don't know anyone. How will I know where to meet the group?
We are excited you are joining us and promise we won't bite! If we are hosting coffee morning at a private residence, you will find the address on our website. Sometimes we meet at a park, cafe or local business, you will be able to spot our group. Just look for the Greenwich Newcomers Club sign. Continue to follow us on Facebook and Instagram or visit our website for updates on upcoming Coffee Mornings.
Should I bring anything?
No need to bring anything. We will provide the coffee and snacks. Part of membership dues help support these events.
Can I bring my Child?
Many people bring their children to our Coffee Mornings, so please feel free to bring the little ones.
Can I bring my spouse or friend?
The more the merrier. Please let us know when you register who you will be bringing.
How long does the event generally last?
Coffee Mornings generally last two hours. Don't worry if you can't make it at the start of the coffee. Come when you can and leave when you need to. We're flexible.
If I have any questions, when should I contact?
Email greenwichnewcomers@gmail.com . If the coffee morning needs to be cancelled due to weather or illness of the host, we will send an email and post on our social media.
