This initiative is in partnership with Southern Electric and Mecca Bingo has been praised by an MP. Hugh Bayley the MP for York said that we are living in times where everyone is conscious of the rising costs of both lighting and heating in their homes. By swapping old fashioned light bulbs for the new energy conserving ones it is a great way to save money, as well as energy. As part of this promotion Southern Electric is also giving away free loft and wall cavity insulation to Mecca bingo customers who qualify within certain groups.

The manager of the Mecca bingo club in York, Tim Stobart commented that by conducting this give-away, they are helping customers to take a step in the right direction to reduce energy consumption. The environment is of great concern to everyone and the light bulb give-away does not mean that customers have to pay for these so it doesn’t hit their pockets either.

You have to hand it to Mecca bingo, they really do come up with some innovative ways for raising funds and helping members to save money. I certainly get the feeling that these bingo clubs are very community based.

The man has been a member of the Mecca Bingo club in Penel Orlieu since 1992, he is a regular player and plays three times a week. Although the winner himself was pretty speechless, and didn’t have much to say, the duty manager did add that they were always really delighted when one of their regular players wins a substantial amount of money. In this instance, I have to admit that I am really curious what the gentleman is going to be spending his prize money on. It is always nice to have a feel about a winner, but In this respect I suppose our secret gentleman is going to remain an enigma.
