Speed Dating

Speed dating is an excellent way to meet members of the opposite sex and a great icebreaker for our buffets/dining and parties that follow.

The usual procedure is that everyone arrives at 7pm to be greeted by a Connect4 host who will describe how the process works and answer any questions. Speed dating starts at 7.30pm. Ladies remain seated and each couple has a 3 minute 'date' before the whistle is blown and the men are asked to move to the next seat - there is normally time for about 15 moves. Chat can be about anything and everything, it all adds to the fun of the evening! At 8.30pm the event winds down and more members join us for the dining and/or partying part of the evening.

Members are required to pre-book for speed dating events as spaces are limited (to about 40 guests), and so that we can ensure an even split of males and females.

We give a guide to the age range of participants for each event in the event diary - this is not set in stone but means we are more likely to get successful matches.

Speed dating events have proved to be very popular with our members, and are a fun and relaxed way of meeting people. If you're still not sure if speed dating is for you, but you have booked a meal, why not turn up a little early (8.15pm-ish) and see it in action. Please view the event diary for details of future events and venues.
