Dinner Dates Celebrated Its 20th Anniversary
RICHMOND TIMES - Nov 29 - Hillie Marshall, the fonder of London based dating agency Dinner Dates, has played cupid for more than 20 years. Ms Marshall first came up with the concept in 1989 after her own divorce, and has since hosted ~25,000 events, and helped to set up ~150 weddings. Over the past 20 years Dinner Dates has held matchmaking meals at swanky venues including the Ritz, the Dorchester, Royal Ascot and the Royal Regatta. Other activities have included golf, tennis and pigeon shooting excursions, trips to art galleries, museums and the theatre and holidays to China, Cologne and Portugal. Now after 20 years, Ms Marshall would be willing to sell the company to the right buyer.

Match.com Partners With eBay Dating
DIGITAL MEDIA - Nov 24 - match.com becomes the exclusive dating partner for eBay, and mirrors similar agreement with ninemsn and News.com.au. Much like the ninemsn deal, this is not so much an integration as a traffic building exercise for Match.com. The match.com portal is effectively bolted on underneath eBay's sites menu and header with revenue generated for eBay via referrals to the dating service.
