I remember going to a campsite that was just awful, awful, awful. There was a bingo game going on there, and it was full of bad tempered people with blue rinses and had a cloud of ciggarette smoke floating above. It's amazing that I ever got into Bingo after seeing that place!

My earliest memory of bingo is playing on holiday with parents and grandparents.

My earliest memory of playing bingo was all the way back in elementary school when we played to win candy.

When I was small and my Granny took me to the bingo, I remeber how my Granny wore her nicest dress, did her hair really carefully, and powdered her face til she was all pink perfection. Then she pinned on her hat and off we'd go. All her bingo ladies dressed just as nicely. I guess that was her night on the town and she wanted to look as perfect as possible.

My first memory was of playing bingo at my aunt's house when I was little. She would play with me and we would laugh about the ancient paper bag that the number balls were kept in, it was a very old and well used game.

I remember a babysitter taking us to a big gathering outside in a park. Many things were going on and one was bingo. I had a lot of fun and if you won, you got a cookie.

I think my earliest memories include going to bingo with my Grandma and Grandad. I remember being in a room with them I think it was at some religious convention. I remember their friends being there. This is going back to early childhood I think.

I remember when my friends used to go 15 years ago - one won one thousand pounds but did not claim it in time

I remember sitting on my granny's lap and watching the wire basket get turned around and around to mix up the bingo balls. I was fascinated by the movement and thought it very magical.
