Jackie ends her Bingo sessions for 2014 with a Christmas Extravaganza tomorrow (Wednesday 17th). This will be some Bingo Session, Jackie says!
We at the Centre would like to thank all the faithful followers of the bingo (with a difference!)
Our thanks to Link-Up (Scotland) – a Scottish Government initiative who recognised the need for a venue to replace the local bingo hall and surveyed the community on the closure of the Granton bingo venue.
Our thanks to Jackie for all her hard work
Finally ( On behalf of the Board and Bingo fans) our gratitude and thanks to staff and volunteers staying on at night, throughout the year making all this possible.
Happy Christmas and an enjoyable last Bingo Session of 2014!

Bag Packing at Morrison’s (Ferry Road) 8 November
Muirhouse Community Centre’s Boys & Girls Clubs
Additional funds were needed to insure the best possible experiences throughout the year for both the Centre’s Clubs (writes JAMES McGINTY). Morrison’s graciously allowed our boys and girls to bag pack at the check outs – and a very generous donation from Scottish Gas of £250 gave the clubs a flying start!
Fifteen boys and girls – along with Paul, Chris, Donna, Stephanie, Peter & Allan who acted as supervisors – got down to their tasks with great zest and enthusiasm.
The boys were first up, being transported by MYDG transport ( Many thanks to Muirhouse Youth Development Group) working from 2 – 4pm, then the girls from 4 – 6pm.
The total raised on the day (including Scottish Gas’ generous donation) was £612.76p. The whole exercise fitted perfectly with the citizenship taught in the clubs on a weekly basis. Thank you to everyone involved!

Muirhouse Millennium Community Centre
Muirhouse Millennium Centre is on track to break it’s annual attendance record, set last year.
MMC’s Jim McGinty said: “With the increasing popularity of this Centre comes the best figures for attendances. In the first six months of this year we have welcomed 8722 visitors through our doors. This means we are once again on stream to break through the figures of last year”.
