1. What is the format for our Speed Dating event?
On arrival at the evening's venue, you will be welcomed and registration will take place followed by a complimentary drinks reception. Before the dating commences we will give you a brief introduction to the proceedings explaining everything that you will need to know.
The Speed Dating event moves from the first date until the last without a designated interval. After meeting each date, you will need to indicate on the KCDATING form which we provide whether you would like to see the other person again.
During the event ladies always remain seated at their allocated table while the gentlemen move from table to table in numerical order around the room. A bell or whistle signifies the end of each date.
