SUMMARY:HAYSTACK DATING | SUBSTATION CLIMBING GYM BRIXTON | SATURDAY DECEMB
 ER 12TH
LOCATION:Substation Brixton
DESCRIPTION:LONDONNNNNN\, we're so excited to be back at Substation Climbin
 g Gym in Brixton! Think climbing\, drinks and few introductions to groups 
 of people with similar interests and everyone single. Your ticket includes
 : being matched using our technology with groups of people who have simila
 r interests 2 hours of rock climbing a post climbing social light optional
  icebreakers team haystack making introductions access to our "missed conn
 ections" programme where we invite people to connect who didn't exchange p
 hone numbers (please note this is dependent on both sides expressing inter
 est and there is a process in place) The plan: From 6pm - arrive\, grab a 
 drink and chat to some new people (94% of people come alone and we float a
 round making intros). 7:15pm - head to your area to meet a group of people
  who we've used science to curate you with. nothing intense\, just some cl
 imbing and a drink with people with similar interests\, age appropriate an
 d who also happen to be single. we've updated our tech so groups are now o
 ptimised for both romantic but also platonic matches e.g people of your ge
 nder who we hope could become mates. (ps. you don't need any prior climbin
 g experience at all!) the whole point of these groups is to feel like you'
 re having a drink and a climbing session with friends\, with the added bon
 us of meeting new people and knowing everyone is single. After climbing - 
 everyone speaks to everyone in the bar area over a few drinks. our team ar
 e all floating if anyone wants wingmanning and there will be no "I wonder 
 if they're single" situation. Close - Substation closes at 10pm! We're a s
 mall business and we absolutely bloody love what we do\, if you have any q
 uestions please get in touch and please feel free to check out our reviews
  here! See you at Substation? How are we doing dating differently? FAQs Ar
 e dating events worth it? We have worked very hard to make events for sing
 le people that don't feel like a typical "dating event" which we know can 
 feel very overwhelming. We just hire out great venues\, invest into fun en
 tertainment\, and match single people together into groups on the evening 
 so you can go on multiple dates in a low-pressure environment. There are a
 lways new dating apps popping up\, which all have the same culture of ghos
 ting\, shallowness\, and let's be honest we can barely keep up with our fa
 mily's whatsapp chat let alone a dating app. What are our dating events? O
 ur events use the power of tech to connect similar single people together.
  When you arrive to the venue you'll be greeted by our lovely reps\, and t
 hen you'll be introduced to your matched group. Depending on the event we 
 will introduce you to another one or two rounds of single people\, where w
 e match you by differently weighting the parameters of the algorithm. We r
 e-invest profit into fun entertainment on the evening so you have a great 
 night regardless - and host a range of events from relaxed drinks in a bee
 r garden\, to something a bit more active like arcade games\, to sporty ev
 ents such as tag rugby or rock climbing. How do you match single people? W
 hen you buy a ticket you fill out a short form with some questions about y
 ourself mapped around research we conducted to what leads to meaningful co
 nnections. We then run this through our algorithm which is a propietary po
 ints based matching system using python to detect similarities between eac
 h person based on different parameters. We then spend hours going through 
 each person to make sure there has been no discrepancies in the data and e
 ven more hours to make sure the group ages and ratios are appropriate. Aft
 erwards we analyse each table to make sure they are placed near tables we 
 think we will match well\, and that are in the best place in the venue bas
 ed on what we know about the group. How does it work with data? All data i
 s securely managed in line with our data policy\, both this and our code o
 f conduct can be found here How does it work with social media? We’re a 
 sociable bunch and always like to take short video clips for our social me
 dia. We’ll always avoid faces wherever possible\, but if you’d rather 
 stay 100% off camera please just come and let the team know on the night s
 o we can make a conscious effort to keep you out of any frame! What's the 
 cancellation policy? There’s a huge amount of work behind the scenes bef
 ore events to get everyone matched into great groups. If you need to trans
 fer your ticket to a friend\, we do ask please that you pop us an email wi
 th their name 7 days before an event so we can move things around. As with
  every other events company in our space\, we are unable to facilitate ref
 unds\, but we will always do our 100% best to find a solve!x What’s the 
 age group? The average age is 33 but we tend to attract from early 20s to 
 mid 40s and groupings take age into account. Is this event wheelchair acce
 ssible? Yes\, we will never work with a venue that isn’t :) Is this a sp
 eed dating event? Absolutely not. The thought of having to effectively pit
 ch yourself\, every two minutes\, to a stranger\, is our worst nightmare a
 nd feels the furthest thing in the world away from natural. These events a
 re designed to feel organic and literally like you're having a drink with 
 a group of new friends\, in a great venue. You'll never see or feel any of
  the science we do behind the scenes and we match in groups to take the pr
 essure off a one on one meet-up. Zero pressure\, literally just fun\, kind
  people\, who have similar interests and also happen to be single. 94% of 
 people come alone\, which we've found creates a really friendly atmosphere
  where it never feels weird to strike up a conversation (which let's be ho
 nest\, in pubs in the uk\, is very rare lol)\n\nBoletos: https://www.fatso
