Jack The Joker
The ever-popular Jack The Joker draw took place on Monday night last. Henry Shields was drawn and picked number 12. When turned this was not the Joker, but he did win €50. Roisin Briggs and Ger Darcy won €25 each. The jackpot next week will be €2,700.
Memory Lane
Over the past few week’s bingo mania has been sweeping the parish with our now regular online Saturday night games proving extremely popular with both young and old alike. Indeed, what is most notable is the number of newcomers who are taking part, players who a few weeks ago didn’t know their top of the house from the key to the door are now experts.
This is our 1st foray into the online sphere but going back over 50 years the club have had a very strong bingo tradition. Pictured are details of the first game we promoted back in June 1970, with Mrs. Flynn Murphy’s Place picking up the full house prize of £15.
Subsequent to this of course we progressed onto our customary Sunday night slot in various halls around town throughout the 80’s to the present day where, up until Covid intervened, the CBS were our hosts. Whilst the online games have been a great success and are proving a great source of enjoyment for so many people, we of course look forward to the day when we can welcome everyone back in person, In the meantime, it’s eyes down every Saturday at 8pm.
