SUMMARY:HAYSTACK DATING | GOLF FANG BIRMINGHAM | THURSDAY 22ND OCTOBER
LOCATION:Golf Fang Birmingham
DESCRIPTION:BIRMINGHAM WE ARE BACK!!!! Our amazing team at Golf fang were s
 o excited to work with us again in BIRMINGHAM. We host fun dating events i
 n the UK\, free from any forced fun or weird speed dating\, where we match
  you with groups of compatible single people using our algorithm (taking s
 ome logic from dating apps\, and stripping out any artificial bullsh*t). Y
 our ticket includes: -you'll be matched using our algorithm with 2 groups 
 of people who have similar interests (one over golf and one over a drink a
 fter) -use of their crazy golf course with your groups (it is SO much fun.
 ...) -light icebreakers -the awesome reps on site and the amazing venue fo
 r the eve (there's also 2 outdoor areas to enjoy the summer sun) -no worry
 ing about wondering "are they single?"... because everyone is! The plan: F
 rom 6pm - arrive\, grab a drink and chat to some new people (94% of people
  come alone and we float around making intros). 7:30pm - head to your area
  to meet a group of people who we've used science to curate you with. noth
 ing intense\, just some golf and a drink with people with similar interest
 s\, age appropriate and who also happen to be single. we've updated our te
 ch so groups are now optimised for both romantic but also platonic matches
  e.g people of your gender who we hope could become mates. the whole point
  of these groups is to feel like you're having a drink and a paint session
  with friends\, with the added bonus of meeting new people and knowing eve
 ryone is single. After groups - everyone speaks to everyone and the DJ kic
 ks in properly. our team are all floating if anyone wants wingmanning and 
 it'll basically become a proper party\, with none of the "I wonder if they
 're single" situation. Close - Golf fang stays open until 10 We're a small
  business and we absolutely bloody love what we do\, if you have any quest
 ions please get in touch and please feel free to check out our reviews her
 e! See you at Golf Fang? P.S don’t just take our word for it - feel free
  to check out our reviews here! PS (again xx) All data is securely managed
  in line with our data policy\, both this and our code of conduct can be f
 ound here We’re a sociable bunch and always like to take short video cli
 ps for our social media. We’ll always avoid faces wherever possible\, bu
 t if you’d rather stay 100% off camera please just come and let the team
  know on the night so we can make a conscious effort to keep you out of an
 y frame! How are we doing dating differently? FAQs Are dating events worth
  it? We have worked very hard to make events for single people that don't 
 feel like a typical "dating event" which we know can feel very overwhelmin
 g. We just hire out great venues\, invest into fun entertainment\, and mat
 ch single people together into groups on the evening so you can go on mult
 iple dates in a low-pressure environment. There are always new dating apps
  popping up\, which all have the same culture of ghosting\, shallowness\, 
 and let's be honest we can barely keep up with our family's whatsapp chat 
 let alone a dating app. What are our dating events? Our events use the pow
 er of tech to connect similar single people together. When you arrive to t
 he venue you'll be greeted by our lovely reps\, and then you'll be introdu
 ced to your matched group. Depending on the event we will introduce you to
  another one or two rounds of single people\, where we match you by differ
 ently weighting the parameters of the algorithm. We re-invest profit into 
 fun entertainment on the evening so you have a great night regardless - an
 d host a range of events from relaxed drinks in a beer garden\, to somethi
 ng a bit more active like arcade games\, to sporty events such as tag rugb
 y or rock climbing. How do you match single people? When you buy a ticket 
 you fill out a short form with some questions about yourself mapped around
  research we conducted to what leads to meaningful connections. We then ru
 n this through our algorithm which is a propietary points based matching s
 ystem using python to detect similarities between each person based on dif
 ferent parameters. We then spend hours going through each person to make s
 ure there has been no discrepancies in the data and even more hours to mak
 e sure the group ages and ratios are appropriate. Afterwards we analyse ea
 ch table to make sure they are placed near tables we think we will match w
 ell\, and that are in the best place in the venue based on what we know ab
 out the group. How does it work with data? All data is securely managed in
  line with our data policy\, both this and our code of conduct can be foun
 d here How does it work with social media? We’re a sociable bunch and al
 ways like to take short video clips for our social media. We’ll always a
 void faces wherever possible\, but if you’d rather stay 100% off camera 
 please just come and let the team know on the night so we can make a consc
 ious effort to keep you out of any frame! What's the cancellation policy? 
 There’s a huge amount of work behind the scenes before events to get eve
 ryone matched into great groups. If you need to transfer your ticket to a 
 friend\, we do ask please that you pop us an email with their name 7 days 
 before an event so we can move things around. As with every other events c
 ompany in our space\, we are unable to facilitate refunds\, but we will al
 ways do our 100% best to find a solve!x What’s the age group? The averag
 e age is 33 but we tend to attract from early 20s to mid 40s and groupings
  take age into account. Is this event wheelchair accessible? Yes\, we will
  never work with a venue that isn’t :) Is this a speed dating event? Abs
 olutely not. The thought of having to effectively pitch yourself\, every t
 wo minutes\, to a stranger\, is our worst nightmare and feels the furthest
  thing in the world away from natural. These events are designed to feel o
 rganic and literally like you're having a drink with a group of new friend
 s\, in a great venue. You'll never see or feel any of the science we do be
 hind the scenes and we match in groups to take the pressure off a one on o
 ne meet-up. Zero pressure\, literally just fun\, kind people\, who have si
 milar interests and also happen to be single. 94% of people come alone\, w
 hich we've found creates a really friendly atmosphere where it never feels
  weird to strike up a conversation (which let's be honest\, in pubs in the
  uk\, is very rare lol)\n\nBoletos: https://www.fatsoma.com/e/dic52qi7/hay
