  • 💚 We will be asking a few questions so we can build up a profile of each applicant. The group will be relatively small and this is to ensure attendees are more likely to meet someone they might romantically connect with. For example taking into consideration age, gender, sexual/romantic orientation. You will meet everyone who joins us for the day. We also want to make sure the activity is safe for everyone, please let us know if you have any specific needs. I'm sorry we can't guarantee everyone a place, but we are hoping to keep running more in the future. For those selected we will send a follow up email/text with a paylink of £15 - £5 is to contribute towards refreshments, £10 deposit which will be returned after the event. (If you can’t use paylinks we will find another way) 🍰🦋🌱
