About us
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. The socials are open to everyone and you don't need to be single to join. However, we do only want people who are single for the dating events.
You will also see events listed on our Meet Up by 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 classy events in London.
Hope to see you all soon to start social networking locally.
Best wishes Julie Davies

40+ SINGLES DINING SPEED DATING Sat Nov 7th at a Lovely Hotel in Burnham
Join us for the best introduction service we have thought of in 32 years of running singles events. Please only RSVP once you have texted through to 07948 417416 and booked.
Grovefield House Hotel is a lovely 4 star Edwardian country house set in idyllic countryside. The hotel management have approached us asking if we would like to hold one of our dating events in their beautiful setting.
If travelling for some distance the hotel inform me that they will give our members a special price for a single occupancy room at £70 or £80 with a hot breakfast. You will need to give the code 'sociable' if you ring to book direct and say it is for the Sat Nov 7th event with Single & Social Bucks Berks.
We have 8 tables of 6 sitting man, woman, man, woman. Guests arrive at 6.30pm to sit at 7pm with nobody missing on the tables. The food is served to the tables at 7pm and we allow 30 minutes on the first table to give the men a chance to eat something. We then start to move the men every 15 minutes with their plates until they have sat on all 8 tables.
The Food on Each Table will be :
chicken & vegetable kebabs, chips & salad served buffet style to each table.
After the speed dating guests can continue chatting in the hotel bar and get back together with anyone of interest.
Tickets are £29.50. Please text Julie on 07948 417416 for the account to book. Send full name, area you live and year of birth. You can book for someone else but we need their details too as everyone is registered who attends to maintain a safe environment for people to meet.
You can also book via our website https://www.single-and-social-bucks.co.uk but it is £3 dearer that way as includes the PayPal charge.
Hope to see you all soon for a fun evening.
