Default A dilemma for you!

Just one sunday a week, I volunteer to work as a bingo caller - I don't
get paid for it but just get 2 free pints everytime I work there.

I did say to my friend that it really is to do with gambling and I kind of feel
like I'm encouraging the older people to gamble but I do quite like calling out
the number.

I've had other people say it's like providing a fresh face to social entertainment as long as I don't join in the bingo game.

What do you think?

Oliver Jones.

Default A good idea

I am sure that the people playing bingo will not gamble away all their savings and you will be doing a great service to the community helping them to enjoy their leisure time.
Even people who never gamble like the excitement of not knowing the outcome of their actions.
