About us
contactsingles.co.uk
Every friend or partner started with the first hello!
We aim to provide a safe environment for you to make new friends and widen your social circle. We know how daunting it is for ladies to come alone to events so we can even put ladies coming alone in touch with each other beforehand. We'd like to offer this to you too guys but we know how strange you would think it was if we said we could network you with other men beforehand lol! We can only suggest that you arrive at the start of the event when we can properly introduce you into a mixed group of new arrivals and ease you in gently.
We have members from mainly 30 but we don't mind younger or older. We have big numbers at our events for Contact Singles (contactsingles.co.uk) when we hold them mostly monthly so there will still be plenty of people within your age range.
Meanwhile you will find many other events put on by our other organisers for their groups and you will see many of these events posted on this group.
Our sister London (& Hertfordshire & Essex) groups are very active with loads of events put on by different organizers. Feel free to join, with over 12,000 members between the groups!
