Newcastle aims to improve socialising credentials with Flight Club
City participates in global darts competition with unique prizes on offer
Newcastle has been revealed as the UK’s least competitive city in the inaugural Flight Club Social Index, with darts players averaging 268 throws per hour.
This compares to the top-performing city, Bristol, where players throw an average of 406 darts per hour.
Flight Club's newest venue in Newcastle has seen participants gradually getting acquainted with Social Darts, with hopes of increasing their competitiveness to rival other cities.
Despite lagging in competition, Newcastle enthusiasts are prolific socialisers, ranking second in early evening bookings nationwide, proving they start their parties before the sun sets.
The city also ranks high in mid-week socialising, outperforming Manchester and Liverpool.
Steve Moore, CEO & Founder at Flight Club, commented on the organisation's milestone of approaching one billion darts thrown, offering a grand prize of a global trip to a Flight Club destination and free darts for life.
Moore stated, "We wanted to mark this with something truly epic – a trip to a Flight Club destination of your choice and free darts for life feels like the right way to thank the people who made this possible."
To enter the draw, one must book a session of Social Darts or a brunch at any Flight Club site.
Particularly dedicated players have already started to emerge, with Christy G having visited Newcastle’s venue 12 times since its November opening.
More prizes, from drinks to bar tabs, will be distributed in the lead-up to this milestone.
Flight Club's competition can be entered by booking on their website.
