We were very pleased to be able to host another Bingo Night, on Tuesday 26th October, our last one being a couple of years ago, due to the Covid-19 restrictions and a couple of lockdowns in the interim.
Eighteen eager bingo players gathered, for prize and cash bingo. As usual, Chas was our genial Bingo caller, ably assisted by Terry (Bingo ticket seller and money handler) and Martin (winning line and full house auditor).
There was a steady stream of ticket buying before each set of 3 games.
We played 9 games of bingo over the course of the evening - 3 cash bingo's (fiver for a line and a tenner for a full house), and 6 prize bingo's (a prize each for a line and a full house). In addition to the Bingo games, we also held a raffle to win the pricely sum of ten pounds !!
Chas was doing great with his bingo calling until he dropped his bingo balls which rolled in lots of different directions - cue lots of comments about his balls had dropped and he's be calling the rest of the set in a notably deeper voice LOL.
Some people were far more successful in the bingo games than others, those who won invariably won several times, whereas others won diddly squat .... but with the added frustration of getting so close, needing only one or two numbers, only to get pipped at the last minute :-(
We quickly totted up the proceeds at the end of the evening and were delighted to report the bingo night raised:
The Bingo Night thus raised a total of £127 (clear profit after deducting all the prizes), all of which goes into the MAG Fighting Fund .... an awesome result in anyone's book !!!
It was a fantastic evening, everyone immensely enjoyed themselves, a huge thanks to everyone who attended, donated raffle prizes and parted with their hard earned cash. A massive thanks also to Chas, Terry and Martin who ran the evening so smoothly. The next bingo evening will be held some time next year ..... hope to see you there !!!!
