News
& Events ....
Chess, Draughts, Backgammon ? If you enjoy any of these, in an informal,
"cafe" style atmosphere, let me know and I'll organise such an event.
You haven't got a date this week ?..... there's still lots of
ways to meet people:
Saturday 11th
September
Contrary to what I said earlier in the week, there will
be a Club Night tonight ! So come brush up your socialising skills with the
cream of single Essex people in a relaxed, slightly nutty atmosphere, where
the topic of conversation ranges from "my night out with a chess piece"
to "what to do when your date turns up with their mother". All set
to some great music of course ! From 8.30pm, and just £5.00, which includes
refreshments & nibbles (you bring your own alcohol, if required, as usual).
Wednesday evenings we have a gathering at my place. It's a free night, with complimentary soft drinks, teas & coffees, and maybe a snack. If you fancy a tipple, please bring it with you - we've got plenty of glasses. From 8.30pm, the address is on the Community web site (if you're not on our "community" pages, you'll need to call me). So come meet a few other members face to face;- can't guarantee you'll meet the love of your life, but at least you'll have more to talk about when on your next date !
Monday Nights, you might enjoy a Singles Dance held weekly at The Lodge, Corbets Tey Road, Upminster. This is not organised by me, and nothing to do with Essex Singles, except that you'll find quite a few members there, and of course quite a few other unattached people. It costs £7.00 admission, but there's a lovely buffet. More details on http://www.westlodge.org/monday %20mingles/monday%20mingles.html
What's on near to
you ? ...
I'm looking at the idea of starting pub nights and the like
at various venues around the county. None on a regular basis
(unless one really catches on, and there's regular support),
but enough in each area to give everyone a frequent
opportunity to get out and meet some other local, unattached
people.
So if you know of a venue you think might be particularly
suitable, please let me know of it. I'd also like to hear from
those of you that would be keen to support the idea, or even
host an event yourself.
And if
you've a date (lucky you !) ....
have you thought of a night at the
theatre ?
There's plenty happening in the excellent theatres in Essex;-
from full blown productions, to concerts, foyer gigs, and
more. Check them out here

A Night at The Dogs
!
... where you can not only enjoy a flutter, but have a snack
or meal, a drink, sometimes with live music ... it's a
great night out, and with so much activity it takes the
pressure off entertaining your date.
There's only one venue in Essex, (correct me if I'm wrong),
and that's the
Romford
Greyhound Stadium, where they meet every Monday,
Wednesday, Friday & Saturday evenings, plus Thursday
afternoons. Click on the link for more details.
Or some Ballroom
Dancing perhaps ... lots of suggestions at
http://www.randjdance.co.uk/
Dancing for couples and singles in Rayleigh and Brentwood,
with special "Partners Corner" for those on their own !
More ideas coming soon
!
If you've any suggestions, let's 'ave 'em !
