Another Mecca Bingo Club Bites the Dust
After almost half a century of running twice-daily bingo sessions, Mecca Bingo Sittingbourne has announced the venue will close next month, leaving locals perplexed. The shock announcement takes the number of Mecca Bingo branches closing in the next couple of weeks to three, with many fearing more may follow suit.
Joining Mecca Bingo in Rochdale and the branch in Halifax is a club where there was once a winner of more than £110K. To this day, the lucky grandad’s identity has been kept a secret, but his winning formula has not! Back in 2002, the Sheppey resident called a full house in just 42 numbers, netting him the in-club prize of £64, the regional prize of £2,144 and the national prize of £108,170!
In a statement, Mecca Bingo said: “We’re very sad to confirm that Mecca Sittingbourne will be closing, and we want to say a huge thank you to every single one of our incredible customers for their loyalty and support for the last 48 years. Please bear with us while we all adjust to the news, but feel free to pop in and have a chat. We’ll keep you updated on Facebook on what our plans are for the coming weeks and when we have a confirmed closing date in August.”
It’s Not All Bad News
If the closure affects you, we recommend using any vouchers you may have as soon as possible, because once the venue has shut its doors for good, you won’t be able to! The good news is there are other venues to play bingo at, the closest Mecca Bingo being in Southend, but the not-so good news is you’ll need to travel a total of 14-miles to play.
