On Thursday 24 June, Green Drinks is delighted to welcome Hugh Nicholson, Senior Urban Designer at the CCC, to present on the work of legendary Danish urban designer Jan Gehl. Gehl recently came up with a 35 year blueprint on how inner Christchurch should look. With a global reputation as a designer who is pedestrian, public transport and cycle-friendly, we figure Gehl and his Christchurch study will be of particular interest to Green Drinkers.
You may have read information about the Jan Gehl study in the news when it was released earlier this year. Read the Stuff article here.

Hands up all those who attended the first ever Green Drinks in October 2007. This month’s venue will take you back.
The 24 June 2010 Green Drinks will be held at The Twisted Hop, Poplar Lane. We start at 5:30pm, with Hugh’s presentation commencing at about 6pm. You will find us in the dining room, around the corner from the main bar and accessible directly from the Poplar Lane plaza.
For the record, the first ever Green Drinkers in October 2007 were the convivial posse of Marney, Sue, Betty, Frida, Katie, David, Alan and Jenny. We managed to squeeze around one table. We have gone from strength to strength since then, with over 100 folk at a couple of events. But we haven’t forgotten our founding drinkers and hope we see you eight again in June 2010!
