A NEW speed dating event will raise money for a good cause while helping Islanders find 'the one'. 
The 'We Love Lovebirds' event will be held at the Bargeman's Rest function room, Newport, on September 13 at 7.15pm. 
Organisers say it is suitable for heterosexual people aged 40 to 55, and those buying a ticket can bring a friend along for free.
Lovebirds will have four minutes to chat to their date, with time to mingle during a mid-way break and after party. 
Money raised from ticket sales will be donated to Macmillan Cancer Support. 
To book, call Peter Carr on 07985147932 or email Petercarr999@hotmail.com.
