another club closes......

Well, another week, another bingo hall closes........as the recession hits the country big style, a flagship club in Preston has to shut its doors just 2 short years after a big grand opening!!!!!!

What makes it more poignant for me is that one of my bingo buddies and north-west bingo caller of the year Allen is the caller there! (you can read more about him here)

Brownie points to the company involved though as they have tried there best to redeploy the staff to other clubs on it's books, however there are still redundancies for around half of the employees. I know that Allen is going to another club so good luck with that mate.

It just goes to show that no club is safe from this current climate at the moment, lets hope it doesn't happen near you or in your club.
