CANASTON BOWL AIMING TO GIVE CUPID A HELPING HAND

Canaston Bowl is on a mission to help the single people of Pembrokeshire to get a date and find true love in time for Valentine’s Day.

The popular bowling centre is organising a free one-off pre-Valentine’s Day speed dating event on Friday, February 12th.

The event will be held in the centre’s function room from 7pm onwards and light refreshments will be available.

It’s the first time the bowling centre will have staged a speed dating event and manager Emma Owen is keen that as many single people as possible get involved.

“Everyone who applies will have the opportunity to meet new people and hopefully find love in time for Valentines Day!” she said.

“All participants will get to spend three to four minutes getting to know each other before moving on to the next potential love interest,” she added.

After everybody has met their scorecards will be collected and couples that are matched will receive a complimentary date that same evening at the Canaston Bowl.

“First dates can always be a little daunting so we thought that a great way to 'break the ice' before Valentines Day would be by either going bowling or having a game in our Crystal Maze adventure,” said Emma.

“People can be sure to avoid those awkward silences by having fun getting to meet new friends or potentially new love interests in a fun and relaxing environment,” she added.

Located next to Oakwood Theme Park, the Canaston Bowl offers a variety of all-weather activities for the whole family to enjoy.

As well as classic Ten Pin Bowling, there’s The Crystal Maze game which is based on the legendary TV show. There is also a Game Zone with arcade games, pool tables and a fully licensed bar, a function room with a plasma screen TV, and a snack bar to refuel the family.

Anyone who wants to take part in the FREE Speed Dating Event must be over the age of 18 to apply and should send their details (Name, Age and Telephone Number) to: e.owen@oakwoodthemepark.co.uk or call 01834 891622. All entries must be received no later than Wednesday 10th Feb.
