I noted a few groups of ladies our age some serious ‘bingo-ers’, a few birthday parties and a couple of couples. We sat and people watched as the place started to steadily fill up. My only alcoholic beverage of the evening. Martin ran through the proceedings and even went and got our first drinks for us. We arrived at just before 8pm and as VIP’s for the evening were shown to our seats by the lovely Martin who really was the perfect host.Īlong with our game cards, a fluorescent glow stick and dabber, we received a generous few drinks vouchers and a meal voucher each which was all very lovely. I advised Sue that if I won she would have to go up and get my prize while I actively encouraged her to go and get some Dutch courage in the form of another vodka and tonic ! The only exception tonight was that I wouldn’t be drinking as I was the designated driver! I really think that on nights like this it’s a good idea to be fuelled by lots of alcohol. I’m that girl who panics and dreads things like this but is usually the one found dancing along on her chair, loving it.
There would be swearing, dancing, singing, things may get a little raucous with twerking and lap dancing. We had been forewarned that although it was Bingo … it would be Bingo with a difference. Yep you heard correctly … Bonkers Bingo it’s a ‘thing’ apparently ! Last week my friend Sue and I went bonkers at Mecca bingo in Sheffield City Centre.
