bingo1Jackie 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!

Jim McGinty, Muirhouse Millennium Community Centre
