Take part in a new ITV TV show, Dinner Date

We have been approached by the producers of Dinner Date and asked if any of our members would like to take part in this new ITV show.

The idea behind the show is that a man or woman blindly picks three people to date purely on the basis of the three course meal that those people propose to serve them.  Then they go round to each of their houses on a blind date and get cooked a meal.

If you would be interested in participating, please email your name and telephone number to paul@single50s.co.uk

The rise in the number of ‘SWOFties’

There is a rise in the number of ‘SWOFties’ – Single Women Over Fifty. Many of these SWOFties are focused on living life to the full, actively dating, getting into social networking sites and filling up their passports, but few are clued up when it comes to their finances. Unfortunately a quarter of SWOFties have no financial plans for the future and a third know little or nothing about the State Pension – so the Department for Work and Pensions is calling on them to ensure they are prepared for later life.

If you are a SWOFtie and would like to tell us about you, please email colin@afwc.co.uk with your details (Name, age, Telephone and location). If you are selected we will contact you for your story, which will be published in the national press. We will pay £100 for any story published.
