Meal Format
Members arrive 7pm for intros until sitting at 7.30pm. members sit man, woman, man, woman around the tables and men move tables between the courses. This is a great ice-breaker before the party starts and a very relaxed way to meet other members.
Mass speed dating after meal
If dining members join in with the mass speed dating after the meal at 9pm they have an opportunity to talk to another 15 members of the opposite gender.
This is still a good introduction service before the party commences. Many members who work Saturdays find it difficult to get to the venue by 7/7.30pm but 8.30pm for the speed dating is possible.
This new form of speed dating we introduced only earlier this year is less formal and conducted standing up. We form a big circle around the venue matching up a man with a woman for the first 90 second chat. The whistle is blown and men step to the right to talk to the next lady until 15 moves have been completed. This is an excellent ice-breaker before we slip into party mode at 9.30pm.
We feel it is much more relaxed to start with the introduction service on the meal but we only want members to book if they are confident they can arrive on time at 7pm . We do not want people missing on the tables when we sit at 7.30pm.
