Overview

We invite boys and girls of all age groups from three months prior to the event. To achieve 250+ candidates we give early-bird incentives: the earlier you book, the lower the cost. See the Poster below for more details.

 

Details - what you can expect

Once we receive your application form, we send confirmation by e-mail. Nearer the time we give clear instructions for dress code, parking and food.

 

Behind the scenes we will be:

• allocating every participant to their various speed dating groups (which will be done according to age groups)

• preparing lists of participants and their details to hand out to everyone on the day

• preparing badges for identification

• preparing forms for you to return to us with your choices of potential partners

• we will take a fresh photo on the day which will be provided as part of the result, together with all the usual information 

 

On the day

• We give everyone a badge with name and colour code

• We will take a photo of everyone who is present and will be provided with the result.

• We also give general details of all attendees and a tick form before speed dating starts. We divide all attendees into six or more groups of 20+ men and 20+ women

• Each date will last 2 -3 minutes

• You will be allocated to a group matched closely by age

• There will probably be two rounds of speed dating

• After the two rounds, a meal will be provided and free time to mingle

• For those who are older, we will arrange for you to meet and socialise together in a separate room

 

After the event

• We collect your tick sheets with your selections

• We compile your matches and email you the results with a photo.

• You are then free to communicate with your matches and hopefully form life-long friendships.

 

We appreciate your feedback following the event, and your support for future events. Please share any good news of engagements with us – we like to celebrate in your news and are pleased to hear that speed dating is working. Please e-mail your feedback.
