Don’t miss out on another SATURDAY night of mingling entertainment – this time in Tahuna.  We will take advantage of the sunny afternoon (weather dependent!) to have a beach wander before heading in from the cold to hot soup and fresh bread for only $7.50 if you’re wearing a Single Rocks name-tag.  If you’re one of the beach walkers, you’ll earn yourself a free hot drink at 623 On The Rocks as well as the discounted dinner.

Meet at 623 On The Rocks before 4pm on Saturday 15 May for a beach wander and chat.

Meet at 623 On The Rocks from 5pm on Saturday 15 May for Hot Soup and Fresh Bread with other singles over 30 in Nelson.

Invite your single friends and be prepared to meet lots of new people at this Duck Soup event.

I had fun and I hope you found someone interesting to talk to. Next time I encourage you to give your contact details to someone you’ve connected with so you can meet up during the month.

May’s networking event will be early next month – so please add Sunday 2 May to your calendar. As it’s getting cooler, 623 are starting their $10 Classic Kiwi Sunday Roasts again. Duck Soup will have a table from 7pm for you to join in and have dinner before we start networking. Look for the Duck Soup table sign – or if you’re super organised, call beforehand to book in on 548 6230.

Next month Duck Soup is promoting an event on Saturday 15 May which will start around 4pm and include dinner. Please block out this time in your calendar and forward to any of your friends that came along to the Dusk Till Dawn event.

Finally, I’m interested in hearing from any single mums with preschoolers or babies at home…. please email me for more information.

I’ll write again soon!

If you’re not sure about the age range, here is what I normally tell people: Most of the younger group are in their 30s & 40s, however, it’s more about your attitude than your age. So if you want to mingle with people in their 30s & 40s – you are welcome to come along!

Details about the time and venue will be emailed once you register your intention to come to Richmond for this dinner on Thursday
