Welcome to the Twickenham Society's WebsiteThe Society exists to make Twickenham a better place in which to live. It seeks to stimulate public interest in, and care for, the beauty, history and character of Twickenham and its surroundings. COMING EVENTS: Council Consultation on the Future of Twickenham The council consultation for residents on the future of Twickenham drew more than 800 people over the three days, 22-24 July. Jack Betteridge, Doug Orchard and Yvonne Hewett represented the Society on the Saturday, and were very glad we'd taken the time to be there: it was good to talk to so many people and hopefully draw new members to the Society. RECENT TWICKENHAM SOCIETY EVENTS: Visit Report: West Waste on 24 June
On 24th June, the Twickenham Society had a unique opportunity for a guided tour of the Brentford Waste Transfer Station, run by the West London Waste Authority. The Authority undertakes waste disposal for 6 boroughs - Brent, Ealing, Harrow, Hillingdon, Hounslow and Richmond-upon-Thames - through three waste transfer stations that take in the waste from the boroughs. Much of the material comes from disposal areas like Townmead, and from rubbish collection. It also comes from house clearances and disposals, and as garden waste.

Sat 1 May, 2010 - Indian Evening This year's Indian evening was a tremendous success, and raised over £1,400 for charity. Once again, this was a joint event between the Twickenham Society, the the Rotary Club of Twickenham, and St Margarets Catholic Church.
OF INTEREST: Project London Health's 'Community Focused' initiative fitness group The group meets on Saturday mornings at 10am, by the café of Orleans Gardens. It is free of charge and encourages the community of all ages and abilities to get outside and enjoy the environment and get fitter at the same time, whether through walking, jogging or a bit of both. The group makes its way along the towpath to Cambridge Gardens at Richmond Bridge, and do some further stretches there before heading back.
