Girls Night Out at Gala Bingo

Last night 8 of us went for a girls night out at Gala Bingo, I have never played bingo before but was super excited about the night out.

We arrived at around 7.30 pm and the really friendly and helpful staff helped us register, explained how each game is played and what would happen throughout the evening.

 

We started the first game of the evening off with the traditional bingo book and dabber and oh my did they call the numbers fast! - I think we were all struggling to keep up and I am pretty sure I missed a few numbers out.

During the break one of the staff said we should give the electronic boards a try, I was a little sceptical at first as I was struggling with the paper version and then thought technology would confuse me further! I was completely wrong!, we were given a quick training on the board and the most brilliant thing is that if you press auto play the machine finds each number as they are called and then flashes with the last number you need to find - all you then need to do is listen carefully and when its called call "line" or 'house" and press claim! so easily and you can also sip your wine whilst you play!

Another advantage of the electronic board is that you can order your food and wine on it and it is delivered to your table whilst you play!

The game play is straight forward as well,  you play for 1 line then 2 lines and finally for a house and some games we linked up to other national gala bingo halls.  The evening went by so quickly and was really so much fun.

Unfortunately none of us were lucky enough to win but we will definitely be going back soon for another night out!

Back to the 80s Party

On Saturday myself and 2 of my friends Alison and Denise were blasted back to the 80s for nostalgia filled night out.

The venue was decorated with 80s posters and neon balloons and everyone had made such an effort with their outfits - lots of backcombed and crimped hair, neon colours, lace gloves and leg warmers - 80s film and tv characters such as Danger Mouse, Ghostbusters, Top Gun, Officer and a Gentleman, Adam Ant and my favourite of the evening the Honey Monster from the Sugar Puffs ad!

Alison and myself went as 80s Trolly Dollies

Denise dressed up classic 80s - crimped wig, neon, lace gloves

My favourite costume - Honey Monster!

80s Posters

          Retro sweets and Rubix cubes were on all the tables

                                    

We had a brilliant night out, fantastic classic 80s music and lots of 

fun memories of this vibrant decade!
