Speed dating – the fast action method of meeting many possible partners all in one evening – has arrived in Bedfordshire.

The dating craze, which has swept across London, is being staged locally for professional people at the Broomhills event and shooting grounds on the A5 at Markyate.

Men and women seeking to meet people of the opposite sex for romance or simply to socialise are being given the opportunity to get together once a month on Friday nights.

Broomhills events manager Kim Foster said: "It is a fantastic way for busy professionals to meet other unattached people. You can hope to meet a partner, or just find a new circle of friends.

"I have tried it myself in London and I can vouch for it – speed dating has a way of reducing the tension of traditional dating – it is just pure fun."

Broomhills aims to create a relaxed, informal evening where you get to chat with people you would not normally encounter, says Kim.
How will it work?

Kim explained: "Up to 35 men and women attend each session. You sit at a number of tables, one woman and one man per table. Then you have four or five minutes to have a chat and see if the vibes are working enough to want more."

At the sound of a bell the man moves to the next table to meet another potential partner and so it continues.

Broomhills provide a card so that each dater can write down who they would like to exchange details with.

"If the interest is mutual, Broomhills will then e-mail or phone both parties with each other's information and the rest is up to them," said Kim.

The difference between Broomhills and other speed dating venues is that afterwards those taking part can make use of the regular Broomhills Friday Club, which means free entry into the club disco and an opportunity to continue conversations with your new speed dating friends.

Kim said: "I found speed dating immense fun and felt no pressure. My confidence was not dented by rejection because everybody was there for the same reason.

"Initially, I was unsure what I was letting myself in for but I came out buzzing and wondering who would put my number down!

"I would certainly recommend it to anyone who wants to socialise and possibly find Mr or Mrs Right, There was no way otherwise I could get to meet 35 potential dates in one night and I am looking forward to trying it again!"

Certainly one of Americas best exports! - I loved every minute of it. I came with a group of workmates and all of us had an amazing night. I will definitely be back if it doesn't work out with one of my matches"
