We offer activity based events in a non-threatening, friendly atmosphere. Fed up with internet dating. We believe it takes longer than 2 minutes or a postage-sized picture viewed for a few seconds to know if you're attracted to someone. Just come out and have some fun for a change-plus, it's easier to meet someone when you're not stressing out.
