Southport couple win national search for
lovers who met at the bingo
THOSE who say romance is dead need look no further than
Southport's own Katherine Jackson, who 1st locked eyes on her new partner,
John Reynolds, at their local Mecca Bingo club. The couple are the winners of Mecca Bingo's
search to find couples who fell in love while playing bingo. Nominated by
Katherine's daughter Lisa and John's sister Lynda; Katherine and John met at
Mecca's club in Southport in 2014.
Both were widowed and had been single for a few years. After exchanging nervous
glances at the bingo for several nail biting weeks, Katherine plucked up the
courage to cheekily ask John for a chip after he smiled at her. The pair soon
started chatting and found themselves heading out for a drink after they'd
wrapped up their game of bingo. 3 years following the first date at the bingo and John and Katherine are now
very much in love. While the two laugh at talk of marriage, John's sister Lynda
Reynolds says:- "Watch this space." John and Katherine even celebrated Valentine's Day, at Mecca Southport, where they
1st met. The team members in the club were delighted that they won Mecca's
national competition and presented the lucky couple with a beautiful bouquet of
flowers and selection of chocolates to enjoy. |
