Two increasingly popular trends could be brought together under one roof in a new entertainment complex being planned for Stafford, in the Midlands.
Development firm Chaseregen hopes to cash in on the popularity of ice skating, made more fashionable since Dancing on Ice and the Winter Olympics came to TV, and the nation's love of bingo.
According to icBirmingham.co.uk, plans are afoot to construct a complex that will include a huge ice skating rink, a bingo hall, a ten-pin bowling alley, a gym and a kids' adventure playground.
Fred Pritchard, chairman and chief executive of Chaseregen, hopes that his £100 million project will get the go-ahead, as he feels it "will offer Stafford people a new generation of entertainment".
His plans have already had to be changed in order to satisfy environmental concerns though, meaning a 60-room hotel will now be built elsewhere.
If the new bingo hall brings jackpot joy to Stafford citizens, then it will surely help settle any concerns some might have about the new complex.
