I was really touched to read the following letter to the editor in our Nelson Mail newspaper this evening. Thanks for your wonderful comments Debbie – I truely appreciate the public thanks as I receive no profit whatsoever from working on Duck Soup.  You really ‘get’ the Duck Soup concept and I’m delighted with all the recent feedback that people are spreading the word throughout Nelson!

Fun for singles

Sir, I am writing to congratulate the women who started the fabulous Duck Soup monthly event for singles. It’s been going for five months and keeps getting better and better as they think of ways to get us mingling.  It is so refreshing to go to an event where you know that everyone else is also single, and everyone is friendly, relaxed and open.  The first time is always the scariest but when you meet others who are feeling the same as you, you both laugh and get on with it.  You may not meet a partner straight away but you may make some new friends, as in the two guys that connected and have gone hunting together. We all have the same desires – friendship, meaning in life and to be happy.

I was also very surprised to see so many faces that I didn’t know – yes, girls, there are nice single men out there.  And let’s loosen up – it’s not meant to be serious.  Well done, organisers.  First Sunday of every month, 7.30pm at the House of Ales, www.ducksoup.co.nz.
