Join us for one more sunset social with our friends over at BOLA beach tennis in Hackney...
It's basically padel on a beach, followed by drinks and music on beautiful riverside beach courts. This is our 5th social with these guys and it's safe to say we're obsessed with them x
From 2pm - arrive and enjoy a free Tenzing on us
From 2.30pm - we'll jump into groups and play some games on the courts. no experience needed, the coaches are amazing and really supportive
Drinks break, then we're running a knockout tournament where everyone will get paired up with people with similar interests and swap pairs a few times. everyones single, but there's no awkward love island energy lol x
Then enjoy an alcoholic drink on us and chat with the rest of the group
We're a small business and we absolutely bloody love what we do, if you have any questions please get in touch and please feel free to check out our reviews here!
See you there?
What is Beach Tennis?
It's a combination of padel, badminton and volleyball. Padel on the beach energy, very easy to pick up...
Do I need to have played before?
Not at all; everyone's welcome and the coaches are really supportive
What should I wear?
We'd recommend whatever you feel comfortable in, most come in some kind of gym kit, but we've also had a few play in non-gym clothes and have just as much fun. On the beach itself, we all play barefoot
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 overwhelming. We just hire out great venues, invest into fun entertainment, and match single people together into groups on the evening so you can go on multiple 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.
Our 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 then 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 we match you by differently weighting the parameters of the algorithm. We re-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 beer garden, to something a bit more active like arcade games, to sporty events such as tag rugby or rock climbing.
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 run this through our algorithm which is a propietary points based matching system using python to detect similarities between each 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 even more hours to make sure the group ages and ratios are appropriate. Afterwards 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 based on what we know about 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 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 media. 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 so 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 before events to get everyone 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 company in our space, we are unable to facilitate refunds, but we will always do our 100% best to find a solve!
