Flight Club founders unveil new shuffleboard venue in Canary Wharf

The bar is centred around shuffleboard, where weighted pucks are slid down a long, wooden table into a score zone.
Electric Shuffle has given the game a modern twist, using technology to identify where the pucks are on the table and automatically adding up scores.
The launch follows the success of darts dive Flight Club, which now has four London locations.
“Shuffleboard’s exciting mix of skill and chance and its rich, but sadly forgotten, history made it the obvious choice for our next step,” co-founders Steve Moore and Paul Barham said in a joint statement.
“It’s a game which has captivated everyone from past to present and our modern twist will wow Canary Wharf.”
Moore and Barham, who dreamt up the Flight Club concept in a Devon pub, have cashed in on the growing popularity of booze-fuelled activities such as mini golf and table tennis.
