We are delighted to say that over the last 6 weeks CIRCA has had over 25,000 unique visitors not only from the UK but also from Italy, France, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Japan, Spain, USA, Sweden and even Alaska where there could be a very cold man looking for a warm heart. Hundreds of new members are registering each week.

We are delighted that CIRCA has been greeted with enthusiastic support from companies linking to us, including such household names as: Air France, Barclays Bank, Harrods, Eurostar, Rymans, Boots, American Express, Eagle Star, Oddbins, WH Smith and Tesco.

3 types of membership are available - Silver, Gold and Platinum. Whilst Silver membership is free, additional benefits are available to Gold (£10 p.m.) and Platinum (£15 p.m.) members including audio-visual chat, priority listing in search results sections, business directory listings, a bespoke matching-service for friends, partners and business contacts and for Platinum members, twice monthly drinks parties with complimentary white wine and mineral water.

Within “Inner Sanctum” under “Special Events” there is a reservation system for Platinum members wishing to attend and each event is preset with the maximum number of guests. Members simply click “Attend” and their screen-name is instantly placed in alphabetical order on the guest-list. Members can browse the guest-list of all the Special Events and can click on any Platinum member’s screen-name to view that member’s profile.

The CIRCA drinks parties are for Platinum members only, and our first event will be held at The Games Room, a stylish private members club in Mayfair, off Berkley Square, London W1. Further details are available in “Inner Sanctum” under Special Events. (Places limited to the first 150 Platinum members that RSVP)

Our second drinks party will be held in the elegant wood-paneled Savile Row showroom of the UK Importer of such well known Italian labels as Savile Row Suits, Jacob B, Liberty Rose and Messori, which are sold at Harvey Nichols and other top-end retailers in the UK. There are bargains to be had by CIRCA members including beautiful wool and cashmere mix Italian suits and jackets, South Sea Island cotton shirts and much much more all available at below wholesale prices. (Places limited to the first 300 Platinum members that RSVP)

All the Press interest and support that we have received has been very much appreciated and copies of all our press reviews can be found in “Club Office” under “Press Reviews” and include:
“....a genuinely user friendly one stop shop catering to all professional gay needs whether business related or purely social ...” Qx – 03.09.04
“....Circa is basically a gateway for busy male professionals who work hard and play hard and like to combine fun with ambition and business with pleasure...” Boyz 18.09.04 (CIRCA-CLUB named as website of the week)

Member Profiles are accessed through the “Search Results Pages”. For those members who have not as yet completed their Member Profile “Profile Header” there is a default setting in place which includes information sourced from your Membership Application Form including: occupation and town of residence details. Without a Profile Header you would not be found by other members. So upload your personal messages and photographs (head and shoulder images - 10kb jpeg) and make new friends, link up with new business contacts or even find the perfect partner.

At the end of each month there will be a monthly draw and a luxury item such as a Cartier fountain pen, Dunhill lighter or a Rolex watch will be won by a CIRCA member. Tickets will be £5 each and the number of tickets available for purchase will be limited. Further details available in “Club Shop” under Club Lottery.

It’s easy to loose contact with people so register your details in “Study” under Lost Contacts so you can be found and can link up again with long lost friends and former partners or business contacts that you have lost touch with. Spread the word to your friends and let’s build “Lost Contacts” into a worldwide contacts directory that can help put people back in touch again !!

We welcome you as a member of CIRCA and look forward to meeting up with some of our Platinum members on Tuesday 23 November 2004.

With Best Wishes

Directors, for and on behalf of Circa (UK) Ltd
