Bingo – We had 21 players at our bingo on July 25. Thanks for braving the cold. Tresna’s Maree won the first hand, with Tresna winning the lucky door prize.

Sandra Rydell won the raffle. I was lucky enough to win the first special hand and Macka’s Mrs won the second. Thanks to Forbes Services Memorial Club, Gay Lady’s Granddaughter, Loretta Girl, Lily, Cindy, Lee’s Nana, Felix, Bubbly Bev and Macka’s Mrs for donations and help on the night. See you next time, August 8.
