Southport couple lucky in love at BINGO

Couple from Mecca Southport celebrate their love and three years since setting eyes on each other.  

Southport pair who met at Mecca Bingo are among the winners of Mecca’s Valentine’s Day search for couples who were lucky in love at the bingo.

Those who say romance is dead need look no further than Southport’s own Katherine Jackson, who first 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.

Three 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 first 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.

To attend a Mecca Club you do need to be aged 18 years or over and be a customer of Mecca Bingo. Joining is free of charge and you can sign-up at www.meccabingo.com or at the club.
