Speed Friending Event, Sat 21st Feb 7pm, Dairy Flat Community Hall
Are you wanting to expand your social network, perhaps find a new bestie, or are you new to the area and wanting to find a new friend group?
Speed friending allows you to connect with others, having a full five minutes with each person you get paired with, and later if you both wish to connect, we’ll facilitate that by email. We will provide prompt questions to ensure you won’t be stuck for conversation. It is most definitely NOT a dating event and is aimed at the 40+ age group.
For those who are a little nervous you’ll be greeted at the door and shown through to the bar area - our aim is to keep any pre-event jitters to a minimum. Please bring cash as there is no EFTPOS available.
This is a limited number event so please email fastfriendsnz@gmail.com to register your interest or ask any questions you may have.
All proceeds go to the Dairy Flat Community Hall.
We hope to see you there.
