Fast Friending: Real Connections! (25-45/Happy Hour)Mel

'Fast friending' is our fun and quick way to help you make new connections quickly with both ladies and gentlemen. Meet new like-minded ladies & gents and make meaningful connections this New Year! The fast-friending format of our event helps you meet many like-minded ladies & gents in a short amount of time, allowing you to quickly discover who you connect with best! It’s a fun, lively way to build meaningful relationships without the usual challenges of starting from scratch. You can use any debit or credit card to purchase your ticket at PayPal checkout.

What's more? - We have happy hours! - If you’re feeling a little shy, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered! You’re welcome to bring a lady friend along for free! - We will meet at 7.00 pm when you will be welcomed by your host Janna. She will manage the evening and also help you make connections. If you are a bit shy or anxious then please come early. Janna will help you meet other members in a small group and help you settle down and get comfortable. All attendees are also welcome to bring a lady friend along with them for free. This will make it a lot less stressful for you as you will always have your friend alongside. Our venue for the evening - La Di Da 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. - From 7.30 to 8.30 pm, we will start 'Fast Friending' where our host Janna will ask you to speak to a different attendee every 3 minutes. You will be able to meet lots of ladies and gentlemen and not be limited to only those sitting or standing next you. - After 8.30 pm you will have time to interact with those you have met as well as others. - 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! - We have many groups in this city. Members of our other groups who RSVP are included as guests of the organisers in order to give you an indication of expected people. - This evening is for ladies and gents in the 25 to 50 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! You will naturally gel with others of your own age range and so you will always find many attendees who fit your range. - We are not a 'dating' group. We are focused on helping ladies and gents meet other like minded ladies and gents. You will generally find a good gender balance (maybe not perfect) at all our events. Why do we have tickets? Cover our costs - Our host is compensated for their time and work. We also pay meetup and have dedicated staff to manage our events, hosts, venues and communication. Group Safety - By securing your ticket we have a record and you contribute to a well organized evening where everyone is more committed and better behaved. Management - Tickets help us better manage attendee group size, book suitable space and activity.
