How do I get speed dating matches from an event in Derby ?
You make notes during the evening about the people you have met on a Smart Card, so be sure to take this home with you at the end of the evening and then log into our web site to input your ticks. Most speed daters are really keen to see who they matched with so you will find that the majority of those attending will have completed theirs by lunchtime the following day. When your speed dating matches start coming through, you can send a message to the person you matched with using the messaging system on our web site. You are only able to send one message to each of your matches so we recommend that you pass on at least an email address so you can continue communicating and perhaps arrange a date.
How long will the speed dating experience in Derby last?
speed dating in Derby will normally involve about 20 three-minute dates, with 30-second intervals to move around to the next table and make brief notes about the person you just met. After about 8 dates we stop the official dating for a well-deserved break. Get a drink from the bar and listen out for the horn which signals that the next round is about to start. The official speed dating part of the evening usually consists of three rounds after which you can stay in the bar to chat to others or rush home to input your matches and see your results coming in..
How speed dating Works
Once you have booked your speed dating ticket via our web site or over the phone, we assign you your film star alias for the night. On arrival and registration at one of our Derby speed dating parties (usually at 7.30pm), you'll be given a Smart Card which will contain the film star names of those attending the evening. In addition you'll be given a pen and a sticky name badge showing your film star alias name to let everyone know who you are. We sound the horn about half an hour after registration and everyone takes his or her seat, with seat numbers marked on the Smart Cards. After a short welcome speech in which we explain how the evening works, we sound the horn and the speed dating commences. Throughout the event, ladies stay seated and the men move around.

"Just thought I should say thank you for organising the event back in early August. Not only did I have a most enjoyable and fun evening, but most unexpectedly, I actually met someone I have embarked on a serious relationship with! Just thought you would like to know that your efforts have had some positive results!" Rob - Bath
"Just thought I would say how much fun the speed dating evening was. I actually met someone on the night and things are going really well between us. So to anyone thinking of trying it, go for it." Louise - Manchester
"Just thought I'd say it was a really good night. I'd tried speed dating down in London a few times but your company seemed much friendlier. Richard, HULL.
