Hundreds of cars carrying novices and experienced bingo players turned out on Sunday 27th July to Rathleague, G.A.A. grounds Portlaoise to blow their horns and flash their lights to claim cash prizes for their Bingo checks.
“All eyes were down” as the numbers were called to the crowds participating in the comfort of their own cars and marquees were set up to facilitate people on foot.
The total pay-out on the day was €4,900. Prices of books were as follows: single €6, double €10, and two jackpot fliers €3 each.
The proceeds from this event and the next two events which will be held on Sunday 31st August and Sunday 28th September at 3pm will go towards three very worthwhile local groups: MS Ireland, Portlaoise G.A.A. Club and Portlaoise Musical Society
Annette McCaul Fundraising Executive with MS Ireland thanked everyone from Laois and surrounding Counties who turned out to show their support for the work carried out by MS Ireland. She said “MS Ireland is very grateful to everyone who turned out today. We hope you all had a fantastic day and look forward to seeing you again in August and September. She went on to say “ this would not have been possible without the Volunteers who delivered a very professional game of Bingo despite one or two teething problems which were rectified immediately and the punters all showed their appreciation of the day out by blowing horns and flashing lights to confirm their continued support for the next two games”
