I hope that you will still continue to come along and support us as it is still a fun night and will be the same format as before. Same time 7.30pm in the village hall. Bingo dates arranged so far are: Saturday October 14, Saturday November 18, Saturday December 9. I do hope that you will continue to come along and have fun.
