The Return Of The Bingo Caller Of The Year
Feels like a lifetime ago that we were last covering the Bingo Caller Of They Year, when Blake Robson took the crown from our very own columnist Brett Hyrjak back in 2007.

Mecca Bingo Host Of The Year
The national Bingo Caller Of The Year competition sadly closed its doors in 2007, just as many clubs themselves were closing their doors for the last time. As a celebration of not just the callers but the players and halls themselves the competition’s demise was ominous. So, it’s good news that Mecca Bingo have launched […]

Once again, clubs up and down the country will be turning pink for Bingo For Breakthrough Week – which this year will […]

2008 Bingo Caller Of The Year Competition Cancelled
Why do these big stories always come when I’m away on my flaky internet connection? Luckily Brett was in there getting the story up in my stead over on his blog. My heart sank when I saw the headline earlier, but due to what the National Bingo Game Association calls ‘considerable challenges’, the 2008 Bingo […]
