London Lads are delighted to invite you to our Gay Tenpin bowling Christmas party, for a seasonal evening of great bowling, banter and beers with other great blokes!
You will get to play two games of bowling with other friendly gay guys in an attitude-free and clique-free group.
It's always a great opportunity to socialise, have fun and make some new friends! We also have a DJ, prize raffle and buffet included in the price!
THE PLAN OF ACTION...
We will gather at 7pm and aim to start the bowling games at 7.45pm. Please be prompt. Any arrivals after 7.45pm may not get to play in the first game, but can wait and join a lane for the second game.
If you think you are going to be late, then please message us to let us know you will still be coming! You can get us on our duty phone on the night: 07578 504321.
IF YOU ARE NEW....
If you're new, then you are very welcome to come along and join! Just find us in the venue on the night and you'll receive a warm welcome!
Your bowling ability, or lack of it, is not something to be embarrassed about when joining us, as we mainly play for fun, to have a laugh and to be social. You can even avoid changing into bowling shoes and simply play in your own footwear, as most of our guys currently do!
JOIN US...
...ON YOUR OWN: Don't be worried about coming along on your own. You won't be left feeling like billy-no-mates! We will make sure you're in a lane with with other guys who, like you, found the courage to come along unaccompanied and join in the fun.
...WITH A MATE OR TWO: Grab a mate or two and bring them along for a great night out. We can make sure you are put in a lane together. Simply let us know on the night that you are together when you are handing in your sign-up sheets.
...AS AS GROUP: Come along with a bunch of friends and all bowl together in the same lane. We place 6 to 7 people per lane (max 8), and can give you a neighbouring lane if you have a bigger group. Just hand your sign-up sheets in together.
We ask that you still socialise with the rest of the wider group. This is especially important if you have people who are in the same lane as you that you did not come along with.
PAYMENT...
At the internal bowling door you MUST say that you are part of the LONDON LADS group. Do not pay for a game or deal at the main entrance, as it will mean you are processed separately from our group. Please advise the attendant that you are part of our group and they will allow you into the venue without charge.
You see us at the London Lads counter for the bowling deal and to check-in.
THE DEAL...
The cost is £13 for two games. When you sign in with us, you will also be provided with one free strip of raffle tickets for the prize draw that will take place during the evening.
Alcohol prizes can be exchanged by non-drinkers for London Lads bowling vouchers that will be redeemable at future bowling events. Our top prize is a £50 bar tab at Village Soho, who kindly sponsor our event. Additional prizes include Champagne, Prosecco, bottles of wine and boxes of chocolates.
DO I HAVE TO BOWL?
If you are joining friends who are bowling or we have already met you at one of our recent events, then you can join us simply to socialise. Because this is our Christmas bowling party, we ask that you pay £3 towards the costs incurred.
Other optional activities available on the night include such things as air hockey, table football, arcade games and pool, plus the venue serves quite a selection of fast food options for those a little peckish or coming straight from work.
KEEP IT FRIENDLY...
Antisocial behaviour or discrimination of any kind is not welcome at our events. If you are not in the mood to socialise with other guys on the day then please do not attend. Behaviour of a cruising or sexualised nature is also not welcome. All of our events are intended to be a safe space for everyone.
