Please note that a credit card booking will appear on your bank statement as a payment to 'Velo Promotions'. Alternatively because we are now using PayPal you can change it to show whatever you prefer.

 

We changed our on line payment system to PayPal back in 2007 because we felt we needed to give our clients the most secure, user friendly & hassle free system available. Most of you are already familiar with PayPal. If you use E-Bay or Amazon you will know that PayPal are one of the most respected, secure & widely used systems available today.

Full Refunds

One interesting benefit when using Paypal is the fact that you can get a full refund up to 60 days after the purchase with absolutely no charges incurred to the buyer or seller. Full refunds are given when events are cancelled or when a client cancels an event after giving the appropriate notice.

*******************************

Speed dating in Munster with Velo Promotions is geared mainly towards graduates, professional and mature people; busy people with no time to waste in noisy pubs and clubs looking for a partner.

Speed dating is definitely an easier and better option and an alternative worth trying.

Speed dating with Velo is a great way to meet new people, expand your social circle and really have a great night out. Meeting new people is always exciting and great fun.

At each speed dating event you will have between fifteen and twenty five mini dates in one night. It’s not called speed dating for nothing.

It’s simple and it works. On average more than 75% of people will get at least one match. Some of the lucky ones can get as many as 5 or 6 matches.

Let Velo organize everything. We will provide a suitable venue, with soft lighting, suitable background music and friendly staff with an emphasis on comfort, privacy, relaxation and, most of all, fun. We will endeavour to match age groups, etc.

All you have to do is turn up, go with the flow, be yourself and have a really great night out.

How does it work? We have 15/30 tables for two well spaced out with a couple seated at each table to begin with. After speaking with each other for 4 minutes approx the bell rings and all the gents pay their respects & move on to the next table. You eventually get to meet all of the other gents or ladies on the night with 1 or 2 breaks in between. Each person is given a number and a card to begin with. If (for instance) you would like to meet 6 of the gents or ladies again you tick off their numbers on the card and you hand the card up to the organiser at the end of the evening. The cards of the 6 people you ticked are examined & if (for instance) 3 of those had you ticked as well then you have 3 matches. In other words it's mutual, you agree to meet her and she agrees to meet with you. The following working day you are both given your matches including contact numbers. It is up to yourselves after that to make contact. See bottom of page for more information.

Velo Promotions are the only company providing a regular service to single people in Munster, especially the Cork region and have been doing so for over four years. We usually hold events every 2nd Sunday in Cork.

Bring your friends along for moral support. We give group discounts.
•   Come alone if you are new in town or short on friends. Speed dating with Velo is a great way to socialize comfortably.
•  

Time is too precious. Shorten the odds and find someone with similar interests & background, etc.
•   Do not forget that all-important chemistry that you will only find when you meet face to face. More
   
 

Another Wedding & another Engagement.

During one of the last 30s & 40s events of 2008 (9/11/08) at the Ambassador Hotel we found out about another Wedding and another Engagement that we have to take credit for. Have no illusions! Speeddating does work and we at Velo Promotions make every effort to make it the best speeddating event you will ever attend.

Age Group Guide:

  • • 20/30's Group. Age Guys 25 - 39 Girls 22 - 35
  • • 30/40's Group. Age Guys 35 - 49 Girls 33 - 45
  • • 40/50's Group. Age Guys 45 - 59 Girls 42 - 59

Because it is impossible to please everyone and also because it is not feasible for us to ask people to produce birth certs we would suggest you keep within the age guide above. We realise the vast majority would prefer to meet somebody in their own age group and a certain amount of people have no problem with an age difference but there is a limit. We feel that it's not fair to have people turning up for the 30/40's event pretending to be in their 40's when they are really pushing 60. At least go for the 40/50's group. Back to top of page.

 

Rules of Speeddating and our policy on matches.

We have a short number of rules which we ask our clients to adhere to during and after the event. These are all listed on your speeddating card given to you before the event. The card also includes the list of terms & conditions. However we feel it might be necessary to say a word here about our policy on matches.

Policy on Matches:

First name (or nickname) plus contact phone number or e-mail address will only be given out to clients who match on the night. We have a strict policy never to divulge any other information or to get involved in any way between clients after an event. At the risk of being offended please do not look for extra information, such as,

  • How many ticks did I get?
  • Did a particular person tick me
  • Could I have a persons number
  • Could you ring such a person for me. etc. etc

PLEASE NOTE:

It is essential that you book well in advance to avoid disappointment, at least two weeks if possible.

*To secure your place pay well in advance.*

Because the demand has greatly exceeded our expectations we have had to tighten up on advance bookings while we wait for the cheque. We will only allow 3 working days for a cheque to arrive by post after which time we will give preference to on-line payments.

In other words, 1st come 1st served.

Speed dating can be a fast and effective way of meeting someone special and a great opportunity to broaden your circle of friends. At our speed dating events across Munster you will speed date up to 30 single and professional people at each event. We at Velo take great care when choosing our venues. We insist on having the exclusive use of a suitable room, usually modern, spacious, with suitable background music and, with a private bar and waiter service. The room must also have a romantic ambience with 20 – 30 tables for two, well spaced out ensuring that your conversations will be totally private. When you arrive you will be greeted by one of our speed dating hosts who will welcome you, put you at ease and occasionally offer you complimentary drinks at the speed dating reception. You will then be introduced to the other guests where you will mingle until the speed dating begins. After the speed dating you will hand in your Speed Ticket to your host. You will be informed of any matches you might have the next working day. The rest of the evening is your own and usually this can be the best part of the evening. Most of you will adjourn to the bar where you now have the opportunity to meet the same people again and possibly one or two that you might fancy.

Come alone if you are new in town or short on friends. Speed dating with Velo is a great way to socialize comfortably.
