even better when using a 20% off code

What 20% off code?

Try this: QMBRPZ6H

Think that's a personalised code or one use as not applying saying not valid :disappointed:

They do a midweek family bowl at mine. An hour for £10. Usually long enough for my lot before hands start aching. Don't need to change shoes either as long as what you're wearing is flat & closed toe. Own trainers are fine. Just book the day before online.

The one in Weymouth is a complete dump.

If you have an XCEL they are doing 1 hour lane hire for 6 people and a 12" pizza for £12.95

Own shoes? That and the loud music and disco lights are what's ruined bowling in this country!
:P

If you have the app, us ONAPP code for 20% off local deals. Runs out midnight

Use ONAPP if you have the app. I've just done it. £9

Click on the link provided MFABowl/Groupon to use the voucher and you get a page for MFA bowl stating these terms and conditions stating NOT VALID during Bank Holidays and School Holidays...

Thank you for purchasing your GROUPON voucher for bowling at MFA Bowl Ltd. Please ensure that you fully understand the terms & conditions that apply to your voucher before completing your booking request.

Vouchers are valid for use from MONDAY 3RD JULY 2017 until SUNDAY 3RD SEPTEMBER 2017. Customers must redeem their voucher & book their lane on or before SUNDAY 27TH AUGUST 2017. Vouchers & bookings cannot be accepted after this date. All visits must be completed by SUNDAY 3RD SEPTEMBER 2017.

To avoid disappointment, early booking is strongly advised. Bookings are subject to promotional lane availability.

Vouchers are not valid at any time during Bank Holidays & School Holidays. Vouchers are not valid for use before 6pm on Saturdays.

All booking requests must be submitted online a minimum of 48 hours in advance of the intended visit.

So it's pretty much useless in a day or 2?

Going to email them about this as it doesn't mention in the fine print only when you go to the booking site, very naughty I think. Thanks for bringing that to my attention though, already bought 2.

Did you hear back about that? Have booked 2 as well thinking that it would be god for the holidays.

Heard back but no clarification:

Hi Vinayaga,

Could you please read my query again as I don't think you understand what I am asking, "is it available during school holidays or not”. The fine print says nothing about it not being available but the link YOU provided says it is not, how am I supposed to use it?
Our School holidays have started in the UK until September after the promotion ends.
Some clarification is needed please!
The deal is advertised with the Fine Print saying nothing about not using it during The School Holidays but the booking link says you can’t.
I have still no idea if you can or not from your response.
I feel it is false advertising if I cannot and I will be in contact with Trading standards if not. I have screen shot the “Fine print” for proof of purchase.
I await “Groupons” reply.

No reply 48 hours later so I did webchat and basically the guy I spoke with could see the problem and said if you can book it via the link it will work. I hope is right but they are looking into it further apparently.

I would appreciate if anyone has actually been if there was any problem, guessing there won't be .

thx

Groupon came back and all good, I think it was a template from a previous deal.

Thanks for your patience.
Please be advised that our resolution team have been in touch with the merchant and they have confirmed that the deal is valid during school holidays, the only exclusion as per Fine Print - Bank holidays. The booking page will be amended soon.

If there's anything else I can help you with, please don't hesitate to let me know.
Kind regards,
Shobana

Check my message above, all good

Used this today and no problem except MFA bowl did not have my booking but fortunately I showed my email and they apologised and fiited us in , they were not busy so all good. The next one I will phone ahead and check, lesson learned.

yh, used mine yesterday in LA Bowl in Warrington. last time I went there was probably 8 years ago and it looks like time stood still in that place...if it wasn't for the people in there, you would think it's been abandoned with the state of it...not recommend it at all.
