We are NOT a dating/matchmaking group. We usually get a very good ratio of M to F at our events but we do not guarantee or organise the M to F ratio at this event & you should be aware that OUR EVENTS ARE VERY POPULAR WITH MEN. If this is an factor that is going to affect the enjoyment of your event - please do not RSVP/attend & complain or make comments on the noticeboard as this will result in the removal of you from the group.

We bring venue and people together and there is no formula for fun. RSVP: If you RSVP & change your mind, please cancel your RSVP.

Its very for event hosts to do intros later on in the night when its louder, busier & people are well into their convos and a bit tipsy. We attempt to provide introductions to everyone who arrives at the event. Sometimes we do miss people if we're busy and a lot of people arrive at the same time. If we accidentally miss you and you have not received an intro and would like one, please ask one of our hosts at the hosting station by the door as you came in. The party will be LOUD, LIVELY & BUSY ATMOSPHERE. The music will be an eclectic mix suitable for ALL AGES.
