The Hawkwell Residents Association have compiled quite a respectable calendar of social events on their website here. It includes a quiz night every 3rd Wednesday in the month, numerous coach trips run by Hockley Residents Association, Hockley Farmers markets, a St Georges Day celebration, and productions by Southend Operatic and Dramatic Society.
Worth a look, especially if you live in that part of the district.
One of the highlights could be:
16/03/2012 ? Kill or Cure – a Hockley Residents Association Coach Trip. This is a coach tour with a guide. After coffee (included in cost) we explore the history of medicine in London from Roman times to the present day. We will hear creepy tales of body snatchers and barber surgeons; heroic tales of scientific endeavour and inspiring tales of personal sacrifice. We have our lunch in Holborn (main course included in price). Our afternoon is devoted to one of the newest and most attractive collections in London at Sir Henry Wellcome?s Museum. His first invention was invisible ink, and he went on to invent the medicinal tablet and establish the pharmaceutical giant Burroughs Wellcome. The medicine Man gallery is home for mind boggling objects gathered from around the world. We will have afternoon tea here before heading for home.
