It could be your lucky day!There will be Bingo! in the Tunstead Village Hall, tonight; Thursday 21st June 2018.
Today (Thursday) at 7:30, the modular building will be resounding with the shouts of House! The fortnightly bingo session is held to raise funds for the Village Hall and Recreation Ground.
Do come along. It would be great to see you there. I have bought a Bingo Dabber, so I am well prepared.
Last night the village hall resounded with shouts of bingo! as usual on every other Thursday evening. However, last night was a bit special. Read on.
One game of bingo! which is played half-way through the evening is the Snowball. This is an accumulator game. Prize money from one snowball game going on to the following fortnight’s game if it is not won. To win the Snowball you have to have a “full house”; all numbers on a card being called out, but within the first set of numbers called. So if it takes more numbers to be called out before someone marks off all the numbers on their card, a portion of the prize money goes onto the Snowball game in a fortnight’s time.
Well last night, after several weeks of “house” not being successfully called before the limit, the Snowball accumulator was won! The happy winner is pictured below.
Have you thought about joining in. Its not all about winning, but a get-together, with time for a chat during the coffee break, as well as before and after the game. There is also a raffle.
Thanks go to Wendy for organising the games, Alan for calling, and Jane for making the teas and coffees.
The next bingo! night is Thursday 16th March 2017. If you would like to play bingo! with us, and catch up with friends, just pop along at 7:30pm.
Tonight’s (2nd February) Bingo session had a good turn-out. 19 people for the bingo, with Alan calling, and Jane and co. doing refreshments, made for a great evening. To top it all Wendy said that £39 had been made for the Hall funds. Having a lot of people makes a real difference. But there is still a little room left for more people. So put 16th February on your Tunstead Calendars, and make it a date. A lot of people adds to the atmosphere as well as adding to the funds. Alan encouraged us to join in the “twiddley” bits; “twenty two, two little ducks”. Yours truly had his evening made by winning. So even rookies can win. We gained some more tips offered by the regulars. Wendy showing the ropes and checking the cards of the winners. I would like to thank our table partners; Cathy and Jane who guided Chris and myself.
The bingo sessions are run every other Thursday at 7:30pm in the Village modular building. If as many people (or more) turn up then the fund would be raised by nearly £1000 a year, and that’s just the bingo.
