What do I wear?
Anything you would normally wear to go for drinks, or go on a date, something that makes you feel good. Remember although it technically is a singles event, its just a bar. If that means you wear jeans and a top, cool, if however you feel comfortable in an 80’s cocktail dress to go on a date, or a shirt and trousers combo, go for it! Since most Meddlers parties are mid week we understand if you have to come suited from work, but if you can avoid it that would be good….just so the atmosphere in the event is as relaxed as possible. Definitely NO tracksuits or caps.
What time shall I get there?
As soon as you can really, its nice if you can get yourself a spot and relax with a couple of drinks. People tend to chat to each other that get there early so don’t be afraid to be keen, it fills up really quickly.
Do people come on their own?
Typically most of our lovely singletons come in twos or threes however often people do come alone. We would maybe suggest to not come down first thing if you don’t have a wingman so that its not as noticeable, however if you are confident enough then come when you like. Everyone chats to everyone so you wont be on your own for long. Quite a few of the single crowd actually make friends!
What actually happens on the night?
As you may have guessed by now, we are a singles event that doesn’t like to be called a singles event. Like with any bar its full of people having a laugh and socialising. However because everyone knows every single person there is single then it seems to encourage everyone to chat to each other, it’s a really great atmosphere!.....and no speed dating, speed hating or date card rating! PHEW! Even the most shy single people can be seen chatting and flirting! As the room fills up the music is kept low so that everyone doesn’t have to shout over banging tunes to be heard. Then later in the night when people are more ready for a party the volume is turned up, the DJs kick off and everyone gravitates to the dance floor (or sneaks off to a corner for number swapping).
What is it with these Meddlers, how do I know who they are? What do they do?
To be honest a room full of singletons should be enough for you but if you do need a bit more help the Meddlers are on hand to help. Meddlers are trained by ninjas, spawn of Cilla Black with a mission to hook you up with someone that you may be too shy to approach or even maybe suggest people to you that might be of interest. They may also tell you that a sexy single someone has their eye on you too. They are identifiable by a large M around their neck and will be scattered around the venue chatting to all the lovely single people. If being in a room of over 200 singletons doesn’t give you the confidence to make the first move, they can do the hard work for you….beware though that some of them are single too so watch out that they aren’t just Meddling themselves a date.
