Streete Notes 10th June 2023
Bingo: Our online bingo has come to a rest for the foreseeable future and normal bingo will now return to our hall fully on Monday nights. We thank everyone who played the wonderful game online with us during the pandemic over the past 3 years. Online was a new way of doing bingo and we are not saying online is gone completely, we may consider other options. As it stands all Jackpot money frozen pre covid will now start to come back into play. The committee overseeing bingo will have the final say on how we go about this in a timely fashion and as always in full honesty and transparency.
