Speed Dating

Vanik Council (UK) has successfully run events for Singles since 1982. Speed Dating events take place in major cities in the UK, twice a year and are open to Jains and Gujarati Hindus of all ages.

To be announced

​

Overview

We invite boys and girls of all age groups from three months prior to the event. To achieve 250+ candidates we give early-bird incentives: the earlier you book, the lower the cost. See the Poster below for more details.

 

Details - what you can expect

Once we receive your application form, we send confirmation by e-mail. Nearer the time we give clear instructions for dress code, parking and food.

 

Behind the scenes we will be:

  • allocating every participant to their various speed dating groups (which will be done according to age groups)

  • preparing lists of participants and their details to hand out to everyone on the day

  • preparing badges for identification

  • preparing forms for you to return to us with your choices of potential partners

  • we will take a fresh photo on the day which will be provided as part of the result, together with all the usual information 

 

On the day

  • We give everyone a badge with name and colour code

  • We will take a photo of everyone who is present and will be provided with the result.

  • We also give general details of all attendees and a tick form before speed dating starts. We divide all attendees into six or more groups of 20+ men and 20+ women

  • Each date will last 2 -3 minutes

  • You will be allocated to a group matched closely by age

  • There will probably be two rounds of speed dating

  • After the two rounds, a meal will be provided and free time to mingle

  • For those who are older, we will arrange for you to meet and socialise together in a separate room

 

After the event

  • We collect your tick sheets with your selections

  • We compile your matches and email you the results with a photo.

  • You are then free to communicate with your matches and hopefully form life-long friendships.

 

We appreciate your feedback following the event, and your support for future events. Please share any good news of engagements with us – we like to celebrate in your news and are pleased to hear that speed dating is working. Please e-mail your feedback.
