How Speed Dating Works in Birmingham When you arrive at Treetop Mini Golf you will be greeted by our friendly professional hosts. Once everyone has arrived and registered we will briefly explain the format of the evening. The ladies will then be asked to make their way to their allocated table. Once the ladies are seated the gentlemen will be asked to proceed to their first date. You will have 4 minutes to chat to each date, once the 4 minutes is over we will ring a bell to indicate the time is up and for the gentlemen to move to their next date. Four minutes is long enough to see if you click with the person you are talking to and whether you would like to see them again and also short enough if you don't. At the end of each date you have a brief few moments to make some notes on the person you have just dated. This is something to help jog your memory for the post event matching process the next day. Half way through the event you will have an interval break so you can nip to the toilet or top up your drink at the Amazon themed bar! After the Speed Dating has taken place, feel free to head to the golf course and play a round or two of mini golf with some of your love interests and friends made from the evening! This is a great way to mingle with fellow daters and continue your evening! Don't forget to take your dating card home with you to assist you in entering in your ticks and potential matches.

Most of the houses we see are owned by Bournville Village Trust, founded in 1900 by George Cadbury with a focus on providing good quality housing in a green environment. About halfway through the walk we pause for a refreshments/toilets break at a coffee shop on the Green or eat your own snack on the benches around. Next, we follow the public access route of the Cadbury factory on our way to Cotteridge Park which has an impressive collection of glacial erratic rocks scattered throughout the park. These “glacial erratics” travelled via a glacier from north Wales up to 400,000 years ago and were left behind when the ice melted. We will see a good selection of these rocks. We leave Cotteridge Park behind as we head back towards Bournville Green, on the way taking a walk around the compact Cadbury Park which was formerly the Cadbury girls’ recreation ground dating from the time when workers were kept separate in their leisure time. It’s an interesting little park with remains of some original features. Here the walk finishes with refreshments available on the Green for those who wish before their journey home. 4.75 miles.

The Bra-B-Q is back! Join us for a day of fun, food and fundraising. So far The Bra-B-Q has raised over £40,000 for Birmingham Hospice and we want this year to be the best yet. All you have to do to support is buy a ticke t, then spend a day being entertained in the beer garden of The Duke Pub Sutton Coldfield with your friends and family . Why The Bra-B-Q? The Bra-B-Q was set up by a group of best friends after one of the friends Fran, was diagnosed with breast cancer. Birmingham Hospice looked after Fran in last last days of her life and now we celebrate her life by continuing to raise money and awareness. What can you expect? Fabulous live music all day, a posh tombo l a with incredible prizes, games and much, much more. New Food Setup – More Flexibility, More Flavour! This year, we’re shaking things up. While tickets won’t include food, we’re thrilled to announce that the incredible Grills Grills Grills will be serving their legendary BBQ all day long! From just £5, you can feast on mouthwatering burgers and hot dogs – and yes, you’ll have the chance to “pimp it up” your way! Why the change? After reviewing last year’s feedback and survey results, the majority of you told us you preferred to pay for food as and when you wanted it, rather than within a set time slot. With Grills Grills Grills generously subsidising their menu, this new setup gives you more freedom and means that 100% of your ticket price now goes directly to charity. Every Penny Counts – and Every Effort Matters We work hard to keep costs low and the experience top-notch. Many of our incredible performers are donating their time, and all our prizes are kindly gifted by local businesses. As organisers, we also buy our own tickets (yes, even for our kids and partners!) despite working our socks off on the day – and in the many months leading up to it. Why? Because we believe in this cause and in creating a day full of laughter, community, and giving back. Everyone is welcome, kids, families, dogs - bring the whole gang! Get your tickets now and join us for a fabulous day supporting the vital work of Birminghm Hospice. Information Source: The BRA-B-Q Committee | eventbrite
