What we’re about
This group was started to create a great community in the Bucks and Berks areas. Attending our events is a great way to make new sociable friends and to maybe even meet that someone special along the way if you're currently single. However the events are open to everyone and you don't need to be single to join.
You will also see events listed on our Meet Up put on by Kevin from Walk & Explore and Toyin from Get a Social Life who puts up some interesting events also not within the area such as holidays abroad, weekend breaks and some very classy events in London.
Hope to see you all soon to start social networking locally.
Best wishes Julie Davies
Dining Speed Dating on Tables of 6 where everyone can speak to each other on the tables. There will be 8 tables of 6 for this event.
SAT OCT 11th at The Beech House is for 40+ (covers 50s & 60s too)
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 standing around as we have only the one age range on this event.
There also 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 or maybe move onto The Mad Squirrel which often has live music on a Saturday evening. We will check this out nearer the time as they don't have events posted yet for October.
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
