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

SINGLES DINING SPEED DATING 40+ Sat Sept 26th in Beaconsfield
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.
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 20 minutes on the first table to give the men a chance to eat something. We then start to move the men every 10 minutes with their plates until they have sat on all 8 tables.
The Food on Each Table will be :
Margherita pizzas, house salads & truffle & parmesan chips
After the speed dating guests can continue chatting at the bar to get back together with anyone of interest. This venue has a fully stocked bar with beer on tap so it is good for mixing after the intro service.
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.
Best Regards Julie Davies https://www.meetup.com/single-and-social-parties-events-bucks-berks

Live Band Don't Look Now at The Bee in Burnham.
The Bee, 1 Britwell Rd, Burnham Bucks, Slough, GBI will be playing another gig at The Bee in Burnham with my band Don't Look Now. We will be playing lots of well known sing-a-long & feel good tunes that are great for dancing to!
The band will kick off at 9.00pm but I will be there from 7.30pm setting up so you're welcome to come early.
There is a small car park at The Pub which might fill up quite quickly but there is public street parking nearby.
It's situated at the top of Burnham high St so should be easy to find.
Hope to see some of you there!
