Here’s how our Fast Friending works:-
- We will meet at 7.00 and have time to get settle down and get a drink. All members can enjoy buy 1 get 1 free drink offer on purchase of their first drink! (soft drink, beer 30cl, or house wine)

- From about 7.30 to 8.30 we will run the fast friending system. Half of the group (mixed gender) will stay in a fixed place and the other half of the group (mixed gender) will be asked to rotate. During these intervals, each pair of people will get the opportunity to talk to each other.

- Lara will be hosting the evening and she will organize the fast friending process. She will indicate when you should move to the next person.

- From 8.30 onwards we will stop the system and people will have to chance go chat and interact with those they have met as well as others.

If you are a bit shy or anxious then please come early. Lara will help you meet other members in a small group and help you settle down and get comfortable. All attendees are also welcome to bring a lady friend along with them for free. This will make it a lot less stressful for you as you will always have your friend alongside.

Our venue for the evening - Updown Bar is spacious, has comfortable seating and not very noisy. We have a reserved area where our members can meet each other in a supportive environment.

- We are not a close knit tight group. Our evenings are warm and comfortable for members attending for the first time and those coming alone. You will not feel alone!

- We have many groups in this city. Members of our other groups who RSVP are included as guests of the organisers in order to give you an indication of expected people.

- This evening is for ladies and gents in the 25 to 45 age group. While some will be at the younger end of this range there will also be others at the other end of the range and lots in-between! You will naturally gel with others of your own age range and so you will always find many attendees who fit your range.

- We are not a dating group. Our events are not organised to manage your dating life. Our group is created to help ladies and gents meet other like minded ladies and gents. Please do not attend our event if a perfect gender balance is important for your enjoyment of our meet-up.
