About Singles Melbourne

 

The whole concept of the Social Walks was first formed in Sydney in 1997 by two single ladies, one a doctor and the other a physiologist.

They were both fed up and tired with the singles scene, and thought there must be a better and easier way where by people can meet without the pressure of the 'meat market'

So they came up with the idea of Singles Social Walks and Art Gallery Walks, open to all ages, around 'The Rocks' in Sydney on a Sunday. They covered all their ongoing costs, running it for singles, by way of charging a small fee, and their walks proved to be very popular.

This not-for-profit concept became very popular, and their newsletter database soon grew to over 300! Having groups of 10-16 on each Sunday walk, finishing off at a coffee shop whereby people can network and meet new friends over a coffee,

The walks folded as they eventually met their own partners during the walks and neither were willing to give up their time to run the walks.

In 2003, David Newton founded SinglesMelbourne.com, and worked tirelessly until 2006, to help make it what it is today.

In 2006, Jeff Richardson took over the walks and enhanced it through having wine trips, getaway weekends, paws walks, and free raffles. SinglesMelbourne now has over 698 people on its newsletter list, and represents great value at only $20 per walk, a little more than the cost of a movie ticket,it cost's money to bring people together,but its great value for what your getting over 30 different walks.
