  • Bingo Snowball Won!

    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.

  • The Tunstead and Sco-Ruston Blog

    I have recently taken on the role of Village Web Site Administrator. The job consists of keeping the Blog up-to-date and reviewing the information pages. I have been looking through the previous editions, and I must say that thanks go to Val Taylor-Rowe for doing a great job. She will be a tough act to follow, but I will do my best.

    For those of you who are not familiar with blogs, I’ll explain. These are snippets of information, thoughts, or items of pure entertainment. Blogs are supposed to be short and to the point whilst giving the reader the opportunity to contribute.

    As you can tell from my writing style I am more a functionary than a journalist, or entertainer, so I am looking to my dear readers to provide these snippets.

    I would like these blogs to have the content and tone of someone chatting in a café, pub or chatting to neighbours over the garden fence. So, that will give you an idea of the sort of thing I am after. Of course, the usual caveats apply, it must to positive, informative, interesting or simply fun.

    Do you have a family member who has done something you are proud of?

    Have you won the lottery? (Don’t tell the Village Hall fund-raisers – Oh go on, let them have a few quid).

    Has someone helped you and you wish to thank them publicly?

    You are new to the area, and wish to know what is going on?

    Do you have any special ideas?

    Do you run a club that needs promoting?

    Is there a special event you wish to let us know about; births, death and marriages, though not necessarily in that order.

    You can write to me using the contact page of the website. Send in your snippet via the email form, or leave your contact details. If you don’t wish to write the content of the blog yourself why not get a friend to do it, or even me. I could come around for a chat and we can work out what to write, together.
