Welcome to Haystack’s Missed Connections
The series we run after events, so if there was someone you liked but didn’t quite manage to get their contact info, we can try to connect you both. You can fill out this form and after each event we will shout it out on here. If they then want to be connected and get in touch with us, we will share your contact info with them, however, we have some rules:
No response is a response. If someone doesn’t come forward and give consent we cannot & will not try to contact them for you in any other way (we take safety and boundaries very seriously).
Anyway, let’s get in to the latest missed connections 👀
