What we’re about
This group was started to create a great community in the Bucks and Berks areas. Attending our events is a great way to make new sociable friends and to maybe even meet that someone special along the way if you're currently single. However the events are open to everyone and you don't need to be single to join.
You will also see events listed on our Meet Up put on by Kevin from Walk & Explore and Toyin from Get a Social Life who puts up some interesting events also not within the area such as holidays abroad, weekend breaks and some very classy events in London.
Hope to see you all soon to start social networking locally.
Best wishes Julie Davies

Dining Speed Dating on Tables of 6 where everyone can speak to each other on the table.
We will be alternating between events in Amersham at The Beech House and Coppa Club in Maidenhead. We will also be alternating between age ranges 35 - 55 and 40+ to 60s instead of attempting to hold two separate age ranges on the same evening. This way we can give everyone participating 8 tables of 6 within either of these age ranges we hold on the evening.
Speed dating means you get to speak to everyone attending and combined with eating together in a group of six on the table makes the whole experience a lot more relaxed.
Sat September 6th at Coppa Club in Maidenhead we will have 8 tables of 6 age range 35 - 55
When you book for this event we will need you to text full name, year of birth (not full date) plus area you live to Julie Davies on 07948 417416 as need to confirm number and details for anyone else you book.
Coppa Club is an amazing restaurant/bar beside the water. We will have 2 sharing platters and a large pizza on each table.
The men will move tables every 15 minutes. The whole dating experience will take 2.5 hours maximum as we ask you to arrive at 7pm to sit down at 7.30pm. Please do not book if you are not confident you can arrive by 7pm. We need a definite cancellation if you book and then cannot make it as we need to ensure that nobody is missing on the tables when we sit.
We will have places saying man, woman, man, woman so when the first 3 ladies and 3 men arrive we can ask you to sit after you have got yourself a drink at the bar. . There won't be any whistle blowing. The three men will be requested to move with their plate to the next table when we reach 15 minutes on each table.
At 9.30pm when the dating/dining has finished you can all carry on socialising at the bar or on the terrace. You could even walk just 3 minutes to Maidens Head which has live music every Saturday until Midnight. It will be The Junkyard Dogs (60s, 70s and 80s Covers, 3 piece band) playing on Sept 6th at The Maidens Head.
This is a good time to get back together with anyone you liked in particular and exchange numbers. You can also pass messages via us after the event if you can remember the first name and area the person lives.
THE FOOD ON EACH TABLE WILL BE:
MEZZE PLATE (Sharing Platter)
zucchini fritti, buttermilk fried chicken, padrón peppers, za’atar flatbread, hummus, Greek yoghurt

Prosciutto crudo, Coppa, buffalo mozzarella, Calabrian roast peppers, Nocellara olives, saffron pickled shallots, grilled flatbread
MARGHERITA BUFALA PIZZA V

(I'm afraid we cannot cater for special dietary requirements for this event. The food on each table will be as above)
£26.95 book via link on https://www.single-and-social-bucks.co.uk or £26 if transferred direct. Please text Julie on 07948 417416 if you wish to book and she will send account details.
Ticket 7pm until 9.30pm for the dining speed dating.
Female Networking Beforehand.
If coming alone let me know on 07948 417416 and I will add you to the Female Networking on the WhatsApp group just for the Sept 6th event. This way you can get in touch with the other ladies booking and link up with others coming from the same area. ~
You need to book early for female places as they always sell out very quickly for this type of event. Promotions on Skiddle, Event Brite, All Events, 5 Meet Up groups and 35 surrounding Facebook area pages as well as on Google.
Hope to see you all soon for a fun evening.
Best Regards,Julie Davies (juliedavies076@gmail.com or 07948 417416)

See all- Day Trip to the Isle of Wight, Visit To Needles, Shanklin Chine and YarmouthNeeds location$65.00
Join us on a day trip to the Isle of Wight this summer as we travel via luxury coach, our journey includes all coach travel and return ferry crossings, ensuring a hassle-free, memorable experience.
Needles
A perfect blend of adventure and relaxation. We will start our journey with a visit to the iconic Needles Attraction Centre, where breath taking views and adventurous activities await.The Needles:- Since Victorian times visitors have been attracted to Alum Bay to marvel at its geological wonders. At the time access to the beach was via a path through the Chine. Now visitors like to take the Chairlift for an exhilarating ride offering spectacular views of the coloured cliffs, The Needles Rocks and Lighthouse which takes you down onto the beach.
For a close-up view of the Needles Rocks and Lighthouse and panoramic views of the coloured Alum Bay cliffs, take one of the pleasure boats from the jetty for a dramatic trip around the landmarks. Choose between a 20-minute slow cruise to take in the stunning scenery at a leisurely pace, or opt for a 15-minute fast trip on the high-speed rib boat. Whichever one you choose, you’re guaranteed a breathtaking Isle of Wight experience. (Weather permitting).
Both the chairlift, boat trip and other activities will incur additional cost

Shanklin is a traditional seaside town located on the south-east coast of the Isle of Wight.

For those who wish to visit this natural beauty and wonder. Carved by Mother Nature’s own hands over thousands of years, the stunning tree lined gorge that is Shanklin Chine cuts its mark from Shanklin Old Village to the sandy beach and Esplanade, far below.Shanklin Chine is a haven for wildlife. The steep sides and flowing water provide a mini sanctuary for mammals, birds and insects alike.
