If you didn’t have a date for Valentine’s Day, and you wished you had…..you need to read this!!
Rotating Singles Dinner Ages 35-55
The cost is $65 and includes a 3 course meal – but get in quick numbers are limited! To book or register your interest for events, phone 0408 692 046.
http://www.humidevents.com.au/events/rotating-dinner-for-singles for more information.
Humid Events has been holding dinners for singles for eleven years, and can boast four weddings, three engagements, and a baby!!
The concept is the brainstorm of Peta Stanley, who hosts the dinners, which have attracted guests such as Gavin, from season four of “Farmer wants a Wife”, and Greg, “Qld’s Hottest Tradie”.
The dinners are aimed at singles aged 35 years and over and have an equal number of men to women attending each function.
“These functions are obviously a great way to expand your social circle or to meet someone special,” says Peta.
When asked why she thinks the events are so successful, she says that it is a very relaxed environment and people are there for the same reason – firstly to meet new people, and secondly because they can attend alone, without waiting for friends to be available for a night out!!
Date and Time: Friday, 17th February at 16th on Park in Milton at 7pm.
