Geneva is a beautiful and international city located on the shores of Lake Geneva, surrounded by the Alps. It's known for its stunning natural scenery, rich history, and significant role in global diplomacy. The city offers a blend of cultural attractions, historical sites, and outdoor activities, making it an appealing destination if visiting for the first time.
This is the weekend of the Geneva Marathon, so will make the city very lively, but it also means some transport and walking routes (especially near the lake and Mont-Blanc bridge) will be impacted by race closures.

BIG Spring Singles Party Max 250 in Maidenhead on Sat April 25th
Birds Hill Golf Club, Drift Road Hawthorn Hill, SL6 3ST, Maidenhead, GBWe'll be holding our BIG Spring Singles Party Max 250 at Birds Hill Golf Club in Maidenhead.
Tickets ÂŁ13 for party from 8pm until Midnight.
Text full name, area you live and year of birth to 07948 417416 if you would like to book.Please DON'T RSVP unless you have paid for your ticket as we will need to move this to not attending as the photowall needs to show only those who have made a definite booking. You will need to RSVP on the main group https://www.meetup.com/single-and-social-parties-events-bucks-berk
ÂŁ13 Party Only 8.30pm until Midnight with DJ. The party price is a bit less as the hire fee is not quite as expensive as Harleyford.
We have a female networking WhatsApp group for those booked attending at 8pm. Men you can come at 8pm as there will be 3 of us introducing at the bar. Men aren't interested in male networking beforehand we have found over the years, but they do want to chat to each other when they arrive. Coming to these events is a great way to make new single friends.
We have asked the DJ to not liven the music up until 9pm for this event so that all new people for the party will have an hour to get mixing and chatting.
This is one amazing venue. So much character and the bar prices are absolutely amazing i.e large glass of wine only ÂŁ5 and short and mixer only ÂŁ4.50. The function area inside the main club house also has a seated terraced area outside the back which will be lovely if the weather is nice.
We will again have DJ John Johnny who is great at creating an amazing atmosphere at events. You are welcome to pass on messages via us the day after the event.Best Regards,
Julie Davies ( juliedavies076@gmail.com)
