chelsea Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 I've just become a member of my local Mecca Bingo hall!! Does anyone else play? I haven't been to a Bingo hall since I was little - back in the late seventies/early eighties I can remember going every weekend with my nan & grandad, my sister and I used to sit with colouring pens and books whilst my grandparents played. The in-laws want us to go so we have all become members. Can't believe I am in my thirties and been talked into going to the Bingo! Bet I'm not the youngest though Wonder what the halls/clubs are like now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Money pits. I stopped going. Table bingo can be £1 a pop, fruit machines take credit cards! My mate has started going and he seems to spend about £50 in a night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyBoo Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 I have to say I haven't been since I went with my Nan as a child, but a friend of mine, in her 30's, went a few times last year with a group of girlfriends and had a whale of a time! She said it was brilliant fun. Hope you have a great time, and lots of wins!! BeckyBoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Have a good time.....a bit of light hearted fun. My friend was 'dragged' along by her SIL on one occasion...and won £900. She was gobsmacked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 My husband was a bingo caller when he was in college, he still does his "calling voice" for me occasionally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 My aunt + nan went once a few weeks ago and won a few £100 between them. A friend of theirs went and won £10,000 recently! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 Have a good time.....a bit of light hearted fun. That is exactly what it will be Not going for big wins, and I probably will be hopeless so it will be a good laugh! The in-laws want to go during the winter nights to stop them falling asleep in front of the fire - so getting them out will be good. I might even suggest a bunch of us girls from work go for a laugh.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbaraJ Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 I went with a friend 6yrs ago or so but stopped as it got way too smokey for me but now its smoke free i joined again. Hubby and me and eldest dd have cards we go once every couple of months , usually spend £10-15 at most. Often go on special cheap nights when cards come through the door advertising. Hubbys first time he won £300 and another time 90 . DD's first time £200!! ME .... nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
