SAT DEC 6th at The Beech House is for 30 - Open to All Ages
Please text Julie on 07948 417416 if you would like to book for this event
Speed dating means you get to speak to everyone attending and combined with eating together in a group of six on the table makes the whole experience a lot more relaxed.
When you book for this event we will need you to text full name, year of birth plus area you live to
Julie on 07948 417416 as need to confirm details for the event.
We have 2 sharing platters and a large pizza on each table.
We will ask the men to move tables every 15 minutes. The whole dating experience will take 2.5 hours maximum as we ask you to arrive at 7pm to sit down at 7.30pm. Please do not book if you are not confident you can arrive by 7pm.
We will have places saying man, woman, man, woman so when the first 3 ladies and 3 men arrive within one of the age ranges we can ask you to sit once you have purchased your drink at the bar and visited the rest rooms. There won't be any whistle blowing. We will ask the three men on each table of six to move to the next numbered table when we reach 15 minutes. This means there will be 7 moves after sitting to have sat on all 8 tables. The men take their plate with them as it is the same food on every table.
At 9.30pm when the dating/dining has finished you can all carry on socialising at the bar.
This is a good time to get back together with anyone you liked in particular and exchange numbers or if you found it hard to chat to the other man/woman across the tables who wasn't sitting beside you. You can also pass messages via us after the event if you can remember the first name and area the person lives. Just make out a text saying something to remind them who you are and add your name and your mobile at the end of the message and I can forward this on for you if you can remember the first name and area the person lives might help.
THE FOOD ON EACH TABLE WILL BE:
ANTIPASTO (Sharing Platter)
