Sunday the 2nd of
December and the annual village Christmas prize bingo
is upon us once more. I myself am not a bingo player
in any way shape or form and have - to that end, never been
to one of these sessions before. I have to say that I
was quite taken with the seriousness in which the actual game
sessions are conducted. There were in excess of Seventy
people in the hall and during the time Danny was calling the
numbers - you could have heard a pin drop, it was so quiet. |
| There
was an awesome number of 'line' and 'house' prizes available
on the day, including a jackpot prize of £250 worth of
travel vouchers. In addition to these, fifty assorted and highly
desirable raffle prizes had also been secured for the event.
|
| Things
got under way and the silence decended, all eyes were down,
concentrating on those elusive numbers. It wasn't too long before
we started to see our first winners . The most noticable thing
for me was the fact that there were virtually complete families
here, all enjoying an afternoon out together. Not something
you see these days on a regular basis. |
| Some
of the patrons did extremely well from the games and the raffle,
one group of ladies deciding to make use of part of their prize
immediately. |

Q Associates donated
the Travel vouchers which, in the end were shared by two people.
Deana actually had another £50.00 in reserve so they each
had £150.00 in vouchers. They were both very happy!
The afternoon was overseen by Deana Carpenter, and raised £663.50
This will be shared between the Club/Village Hall, the Over
Sixties Christmas Party and the newly formed "Kids Club".
