“We host the event twice a year, and our next event is set for October,” said Davison.

Members of the club meet every Wednesday, with doors opening at 08:30 for the sale of Bingo tickets, tea or coffee, raffle tickets and Joker Jackpot entries.

The day’s programme begins at 09:30 and may include quizzes, darts, guest speakers and other entertainment activities before a tea break. From 11:00 to 12:00, attendees enjoy seven games of Bingo.

Bingo tickets cost between R2 and R5, making the activity affordable and accessible for members and visitors alike.

The club currently has 107 members and offers a range of benefits throughout the year, including subsidised outings, a mid-year birthday lunch and a Christmas lunch funded by the club.

Davison said the club’s annual membership fees remain low, ensuring members receive good value while enjoying regular social activities and companionship.
