Last night was a blast, I arrived feeling quite apprehensive which isn’t like me at all.  But was soon feeling at ease with a half card in my hand searching for my King of Hearts.  I never found him, maybe the other half of the card wasn’t circulating or he hid from me, or he left very early.  Anyway, it was fun looking and I met two new platonic friends – male and female, so that’s cool.  Looking forward to seeing the photos. 
Verity, you do a fantastic service to a lot of grateful, intelligent beautiful people and I congratulate you. - Clare

It was a really good night.
The group of guys/girls on Friday night were actually really fun and nice (and normal which helps).The band did play unusual music but it didn’t seem to stop anyone from dancing.
- Maree
Thanks for great night.  Yes the Band were not what we expected but we didn't let get in the way of a good time!  My feet were sore from dancing the next day.
- Wendy
 I thought the night was great. Once I got over the initial awkwardness of a room full of strangers, I met some great people who I might never had the chance to meet. The icebreaker was fun and had some good laughs. It was nice winning the prize too! My friends definitely want to come next time - Jane

I had an awesome time and yes did have a sore head the following morning like a few others I’m sure – Megan

I had a great time out at the party, thanks Robert


I did have a really good time and decided to try something different... I came sober and stayed sober this time, it was actually really interesting watching everyone and chatting ha (and remembering it).
Unfortunately I didn’t come away with any numbers, think guys are still too shy!!!Had some good conversations tho and its always nice to discover some nice men out there.
Thanks Cindy


V Cool Party, thank you :-) Nick

We had a good time too. Many laughs and met some interesting people.
Wasn’t so keen on the DJ - thought some of the music was a bit naff - but that was no big deal. It was overall a fun night, thanks for doing what you do!

I was at the 27th June Saturday night event at Parnell, this was my first event and enjoyed it - Kelly

Just to say thanks so much for Friday - I had a really neat time and it was great to meet you. Nice evening all in all - Loane

Just wanted to say thanks again for the get introduction to speed date on Friday night.

Thanks so much for organising such a cool trip. Great bunch of people and was good fun apart from the sea sickness! Will be with you taking the pills next time!! - Rachel

I had a really nice time out on the boat and was happy that I met some nice people who would be good to do something with you all again soon…especially when it is something like last Sunday - Ken

Yes, it was a bit disappointing that we didn't see much sealife but very good of the company to give out the vouchers - look forward to trying again in the summer!
Nevertheless it was a really good day out and I think we had a great bunch of people - Jo

I enjoyed our day as it was something totally different,and adventurous.
Ken and I were standing right in the middle,holding on tight as we had a cool time riding up and down with the swell - Steve

I had a great time last night, thanks for organising a really good evening! - Rachelle

I thought it was a very good night & venue.
Nice to have everyone in one room & centrally located, yet close to the water with a quasi out of town feel.
Friendly bunch of people & condusive to mingling, so a good Soiree.
Well done - Mark

It was a bit of fun last night, mind you the head was not too good this morning! - Len

Even though I left early last night I had a great time – Thanks!- Stu

Fantastic night, thanks again..... great to see you - Karen

Thanks for last night! It was great & the bottle of Deutz that Carl & I won will be much appreciated! - Jenny

It was a great night evening. My first time on it and truly enjoyed it - Bashir

I enjoyed myself it was a good bunch of people - Sheena

It was a really good night thanks.  In fact, one of the better events I've been too - mainly because I think of having the cards, which 'encouraged' you to talk to more people.  No major matches for me but went away having really enjoyed myself in any case.
I would definitely like to go to another event with that format again, as would my friend who came with me - Denise

I had a really fun night thanks......once I had a couple of glasses of wine and felt OK about approaching complete strangers.  Having the matching game definitely made it easier, although I have to confess some guys only got a 'show me your card!' demand out of me ;-)I will definitely recommend the Singles Soiree to my other single friends - Lisa

Summer Singles Party 08

I have to say I had the best night ever!!!! sadly I didn't find a lady to date but sooner or later I will find someone. The music was great and the finger food too.
Again thank you so much for this awesome Summer Singles Party!!!!!

I really had a fab time and thought it was very well-organised. Great venue too! I met somebody at the party- fingers crossed.

Firstly thanks for the great night - was thoroughly enjoyed!! I was one of the ones that moved on into the Viaduct and continued the night on until after 5am. I met a lovely blond girl who I'm out with again tonight so will see how that plays out!

Your parties rock! I had such a great time and met some cool people. I liked the new venue - big dance floor and a chill out room, it was well thought out.
Thanks for the food, it was yum, I'm glad I hadn't had dinner.
See you at the next one if my dates don't work out!

Mid-Winter Singles Party 08

 

Thanks for organising an awesome occasion last night - it looked like everyone was having great fun, and the atmosphere was terrific - Nick

Just a quick thanks for a great night Saturday. Met some really interesting people and had so much fun. Yes we did party on down at the Viaduct and didn't get home til 5.30am! Was definitely paying for that yesterday - Rebecca

Thanks Verity!! Was a really great evening!!! Had lots of fun!!! :-) Keep up the good work! :-) Daniel
Hey that was a good do on Saturday. The boys and myself had a good time - Mat

Hi there, Just wanted to say or though I left early due to another engagement I had a wonderful time this been my first event was a bit nerve racking at first but once I made conversation for the first time things were so much easier, I really cant wait to attend my first round of speed dating. Once again thank you for a awesome time - Brian 
 

 

- Various party goer's!
Thanks for last nights speed date opportunity.
I will be honest and say I never ever thought I would attend one of these nights. But on that note I had a fantastic time. Out of 10 ladies last night I would happily have dated 6 which was a real surprise to me.
Just to go to a night where I knew all the ladies had children was a great idea as Im really not interested in dating ladies without as I have an 8yr old girl myself and I am finding I connect much better with people with children. It was something portrayed through the evening also from others.
Being someone who is very shy in normal situations when meeting females I found the atmosphere fabulous after the first 3 or 4 minutes mingling so all credit to you.
I will be contacting someone from the night so fingers crossed.
I would have no hesitation in recommending your speed dating nights.
Have a great day.

Luke.

Hi Verity,

I just wanted to send you an update after the speed dating night that I attended in early August this year.  I think the date was 14 August (?).   I had a "date match" and met for a coffee a couple of weeks later.  We have been "seeing" each other since about early September and things are going very well between us.

 He told me that he had not registered for the speed dating night but turned up anyway.  Lucky that there was a space available or we wouldn't have had a chance to meet!  Was that fate.......?!

 Thanks for organising the get-togethers; you are doing a fabulous job!!

 Cheers and Kind Regards

U

I just wanted to say it is a really neat newsletter, great you make the effort. I went on one of your events recently and it was well organised and the Empire is a great venue, nice n relaxed, so thank u for your efforts. I was there with my friend's brother Theo who was the young blonde chatty guy who drunk lots of pints and sung songs to a few of the ladies :)

Cheers - Andrea
Thanks for the email & the awesome event last night. I enjoyed myself and it was good to be out and just meet new people from all different walks of life. Thanks also for trying to make me feel as comfortable and willing to introduce me to other people. A job well done and big ups to you. Take care and have a great weekend. -
So I'll say a big thank you I enjoyed the night, you would be pleased with the turn out and how it went. I think everyone was having a great time judging by the noise level in the restaurant! -
Thank you, we really enjoyed it and as I told you yesterday I guess we were one of the luckiest ones, we got our dinner on time. (first class cabin haha!) and the food was really yum, the venue was really nice and its always interesting to meet new people, definitely I’m sure it was worth going and wouldn’t mind at all giving another go to your next party! -
I had a blast last night! Really fun group of people, and it was great that it was so big. I think having a dinner format with drinks and mingling beforehand was key, as we all got to know each other a bit so it'll be much easier to meet up again. I ended up finding a few girls to have girls nights out with, and met a lot of guys that will be fun to hang out with too, so a huge success overall! Definitely let me know when you next have dinners/parties/mingling time like that.

Thanks again!
-
Thank you for last Friday night. It was a nice atmosphere for a first timer! I hope to meet up with a couple of the ladies that I met. -
Our thanks to you for organising the Mix n Mingle evening, it was a pleasure to meet you all and we particularly enjoyed the music provided by Tony. Of course we would have preferred to meet a few more eligible men, preferably the ones that own the yachts, but you can't always get what you want!

It was a great evening.

Our group at the table exchanged contact numbers & emails & some of us have already emailed one another.

Again - thank you so much!!
-
Thank you so much for a job so well done! I found the whole experience really delightful and am sure this was due, in no small part, to your huge efforts.

I will be going on a date from this experience and am quite excited about the prospect. But will certainly be in touch with hopes of being able to attend a second evening a.s.a.p.

Regards
- Glenda
Thanks Verity...I actually had a really good time (shouldn't sound so surprised but to be honest I thought the whole thing could be a bit naff!)

Thanks again.

Cheers,


- Morag
Just wanted to say thanks very much! Was heaps of fun and a great way to meet guys in a nice environment! And also nice to know all the guys picked us (Cindy told me) Must have said something right!

So will probably see you again for another crack if nothing pans out.

Thanks again


- Tanya :)
