A man has been jailed for 4 years after trying to guarantee themselves a win in bingo…..by robbing the place. After an attempt to rob a social club, Shaun Grooby then moved on to his local bingo club in Aylesbury where he managed to gain access to the clubs safe and £25,000 in cash. Fortunately […]

A story has grabbed me this month about a club that has decided to turn it’s back on the 21st century bingo…..and is giving the traditional game another chance. For those of you that are not in the know the bingo world has changed in club in the last couple of years. Go to your […]

Nice sweet story in the press this week regarding a woman who’s life was saved by an off-duty paramedic whilst down at the bingo. Luckily the paramedic was at the right place at the right time because he was only dropping off his wife at the club and not playing himself. Heart attacks, unfortunately are […]

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!!!!!!

Has the country gone well and truly mad; or is it just the bingo manager at this particular club. Apparently the pensioner was removed because it was ‘in the best interests of the […]

You would think that in a recession the government would be doing everything that they can to maintain the economy and keep people in work. However this still does not apply to the bingo industry who are still being unfairly taxed; with the ultimate result being club closures and job losses. Over 100 clubs have […]

Another story that has sneaked up on me is the suspension of the bingo link magazine. For those of you who are not in the know the bingo link is THE industry quarterly magazine. For years it has informed the bingo world of all things ‘numbery’ (is that a word?……………..it is now!) including providing all […]

I must admit….with my windswept and interesting life I don’t have the time to watch a lot of television. My priorities lie with my new fiancee whenever I get back from London working (Why am I working in London? I shall tell more soon) and my other girls Keely and Kelly (my computer and PS3 […]
