Springs Senior Citizens Club members put the fun in fundraising when they gathered for a lively morning of Bingo on Tuesday.
The monthly event, held on the first Tuesday of every month, gives members a chance to socialise in a safe and welcoming environment while also helping raise funds for the club.
“We host these events to maintain our growing club. We are getting more and more members, and such events are an essential part of the club. It’s also a time for them to have fun and enjoy some friendly competition,” said club manager Pauline Houghton.
Participants played for cash prizes before rounding off the morning with refreshments.
