  Keith, I'm not saying that young people do like travelling out of town. However they really don't see it as a big deal, travelling to Canterbury is no more complicated than most of their journeys to their schools! My point is that the age group you speak of wouldn't sustain a large bowling or ice rink in the town. They would not use it enough, or spend enough money, it is the people who can drive that could keep one going, and that group can get to Canterbury/Ashford!
  
  Teenagers when asked what they would like to see for them, often respond with 'Bowling Alley' or 'Ice Rink' however this is just the rather unimaginative response placed in their heads by adults. The reality is that when teenagers go bowling their interest trails off around halfway through the second game. They enjoy it, but it is generally few times a year experience (speak to kids in Margate that have 2 on their doorstep!)
