New heights for free bingo
Free bingo record breakers
Bingo has quite literally reached new heights.
A team of 25 bingo club employees have just set a new record in the Himalayas for the world's highest game of bingo, reports the BBC.
The two-week trek to Everest Base Camp, which included a free bingo game at 2,700 metres above sea level, raised more than £100,000 for cancer charity Sue Ryder Care.
Janet Pankhurst, 60, was inspired to take part in the expedition after losing both of her parents to cancer.
Having already raised more than £3,500 for the charity on her Justgiving page, she described the whole experience as "unbelievable".
Bingo dabbers in the Himalayas
She recalled: "The other trekkers at base camp simply couldn't believe it when we started pulling out the calling cards, dabbers and bingo balls.
"But the support, camaraderie and cheers that erupted across base camp when we broke the record is a moment that I will never forget.
"I hope we did the world of bingo proud."
The record-breaking free bingo game marked the culmination of Janet's intensive year-long training programme.
Her doctor gave her a series of breathing exercises as preparation for the thinner air of Everest and she exercised for approximately 20 hours every week.
If that sounds too much like hard work, perhaps it's time to enjoy a well-earned break.
BOGOF Bingo offers an incredible 19 hours of free bingo per week, as well as thrilling bonus games such as Ladies Leisure.
