How do you get 50 kids onto a bowling alley? Pokmon.
Or at least organise a card-swapping event for the collectors of Japanese pocket monsters.
Dozens of kids descended upon Clifton Moor's Megabowl in York for bowling, card-swapping and general good fun thanks to the organisation skills of deputy manager Gareth Schoorl.
The card-swap was just one of the many events organised at the bowling alley for youngsters during half-term with the visit of Pikachu among the highlights.
Emma Brain, aged two-and-a-half, is seen hugging Pikachu in this photograph taken by Evening Press photographer Steven Bradshaw.
