Bringing this site back from the dead

I haven’t updated this website for some time now.  The reason has not been because the Liberal Drinks idea is dead - far from it.  It’s because the Facebook group has been the most successful part of this ongoing experiment thus far and I’ve concentrated on that at the expense of this website.
But there is [...]

100 Drinkers on Facebook

Facebook is already proving its worth, and the 100th member of the UK Liberal Drinks group joined in the last 24 hours.
If you aren’t already on Facebook, you will need to register on the site before you can join our group, but once you do it is simplicity itself to keep in touch with the [...]

New Year, New Drinking

Three Liberal Drinks are scheduled over the next couple of weeks: in Sheffield, Westminster and Andover.
Meanwhile, I’ve been discovering the world of Facebook.  Martin Tod has set up a Liberal Drinks page there, which thus far has nearly 40 members from across the UK, so clearly it has great potential for getting in touch with [...]

Green Drinks

Via Stephen Robinson, I’ve come across Green Drinks.  Basically the same idea as this website, but with an environmentalist bent.

New guide published

I’ve just written a rather perfunctory guide to running your own Liberal Drinks.  It’s pretty basic, but then organising a Liberal Drinks is so simple, how hard can it be?
Feedback would be most welcome.  In particular I would point you to the “ideas” section.  Why not give them a try (and apologes for not organising [...]

Winchester Drinkers: first pictures

The Winchester Drinks have sent us a couple of photos from their inaugural meet up…

Liberal Drinks grows

New Liberal Drinks have been set up in Nottingham, Winchester and, as a one-off, at Brighton Conference.
Meanwhile, thanks to Martin Tod for sending in this picture of Andover’s event last Friday:

Finally, Duncan Hames suggests a film night - specifically to see Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth next Friday.  Sounds like a good idea, what do [...]

Want to add your Drinks to Flock Together? Martin Tod shows you how

Martin Tod has added a short training video to the Flock Together blog, showing users how to add a meeting to the site.
Potential Liberal Drinkers should also be aware that any meeting added to Flock Together which is associated to the ‘organisation’ Liberal Drinks will automatically appear on this website’s feed, and in particular our [...]
