LASER QUEST
​On Wednesday 29th October we visited Laser Quest Bournemouth for some half term fun! We haven't been to Laser Quest for a few years and it is always a good venue for when the weather starts to change.
​
We had two hours of exclusive time with multiple games. There is a minimum age of 6 years old to take part and we had members attend from 6 years old up to 18 years old. All the children (and some of the parents) had a great time shooting each other!
​
The rest of the adults were able to have a coffee and a catch up with other families.
​
Thank you Laser Quest for making us so welcome!
