FOOD AND EVENTS
I have just recently added food and events to this group thought it would be a great addition to have meals together and attend special events, it's not all about holidays. For dinning and some events there will be a contribution fee to the host, or how else will i be able to afford to host with you lovely lot, especially if am out every week as a host. Thanks to all who understand this, really appreciate it, i spend lots of time posting, researching and creating lovely eatery venues for you all, also running this meetup site is costly.
All meals will be paid up before we dine, as this weeds out the time wasters, who often RSVP, however have no intentions of attending. Looking forward to meeting you all xx

- Dining Speed Dating in Amerhsam, Bucks on Sat July 5thThe Beech House, amersham
Dining Speed Dating on Tables of 6 where everyone can speak to each other on the table.
One Female Place is available on the Dining Speed Dating event on Sat July 5th at The Beech House in Amersham.
Tickets are £25 including food. If interested please text Julie on 07948 417416 and then post RSVP once paid on our main Meet Up group https://meetup.com/single-and-social-parties-events-bucks-berks/
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.
We will have 5 tables of 6 in each age range:
30 - 49 group (sold out both sexes)
and 50+ age group (1 male place & sold out for ladies).When you book for this event we will need you to text full name, year of birth (not full date) plus area you live to
Julie Davies on 07948 417416 as need to plan you into one of the groups.The Beech House is fast at serving food as I recall from eating there. We will make it simple but just 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 two 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. It will be better to get a large drink (or two even) when you arrive as this will last you for the 90 minutes you are on the tables.
It is one hour and fifteen minutes on the 5 tables and we are allowing an extra 15 minutes for the 4 moves to the other number tables. There won't be any whistle blowing. The three men on each table will be requested to move to the next table when we reach 15 minutes on each table.At 9pm when the dating/dining has finished you can all carry on socialising at the bar and even talk to the people in the other age range tables if you wish. This is a good time to get back together with anyone you liked in particular and exchange numbers. You can also pass messages via us after the event if you can remember the first name and area the person lives.
THE FOOD ON EACH TABLE WILL BE:
ANTIPASTO (Sharing Platter)
Tomato bruschetta, prosciutto, chorizo, marinated olives, Mozzarella di Bufala, roasted aubergines, courgettes, peppers & red onion, puccia bread
TRIO OF BRUSCHETTA (Sharing Platter)
Garlic & basil marinated tomato bruschetta, black olive & anchovy tapenade bruschetta, goat's cheese & roasted red pepper bruschetta
MARGHERITA PIZZA[V]

£26.50 Ticket 7pm until 9pm the dining speed dating.
You can remain socialising at the bar after this time.
