About this Event
Picture this- You want to meet new people. You want to widen your social circuit and meet new ladies and gentlemen who could be your friends. You go to social venues where lots of ladies and gents socialise but you are a bit nervous and unsure about starting a conversation with a complete stranger. You may get yourself a drink and then stand in a corner looking at others who are having a great time. You may not know how or don't feel comfortable opening a conversation with ladies or gentlemen you don't know. And then you leave without speaking to the people you would have liked to.
Does this happen to you? Don't be concerned as you are not alone. This is exactly how 90% of all people feel.
Now what if we transform this situation and give you a process where you can meet and connect with a large number of ladies and gentlemen in an organised and orderly manner?
'Fast friending' is our fun and quick way to help you make new connections quickly with both ladies and gentlemen. These are people in the age group of 18 and 40 and so you will be on a similar wavelength. Naturally you can always choose who to speak with based on your preference!
Here’s how our Fast Friending works:-
- We will meet at 7.00 and have time to get settle down and get a drink.
- 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.
- Dean will be hosting the evening and he will organize the fast friending process. He 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. All attendees are also welcome to bring a lady friend along with them for free.
Our venue for the evening - The Morrissey 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!
- This evening is for ladies and gents in the 18 to 40 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!
- We are not a dating group. Our events are not organised to manage your dating life. Please do not attend our event if a perfect gender balance is important for your enjoyment of our meet-up.
