What
do you need

On the night, purchase any additional Bingo Ticket Books, Dabber and get ready for FUN.
Everything you need to play will be included in the Card/Dabber bundle.
Bring a large supply of humour as it will be a night full of laughs.
Who
can come
Family and Friends of SWU. We've got plenty of room.
Tables of 10 can be arranged however play will be individual. Children
are welcome however it's suggested that 11 and over are best suited to
be able to keep up with the Bingo numbers.
Any 'Bingo Regulars' will need to curb their expectations of the night, as most of us will be novices (so the games will be a little slower than what the Pro's push out).
How
to play Bingo
You start by paying for your cards (generally you are charged by sets of
numbered cards). A novice might start out with one card but you will
see experienced Bingo players with numerous cards spread in front of
them. These cards are always marked in a grid pattern, with each square
containing a number.
A caller will draw random numbers and call them out and players will
mark off the number if it appears on their card. Different patterns and
goals are used in games for the win but two are most common.
The standard games will award the winner to the first player who has marked every number on their card and shouts "Bingo".
Some special games may have the win awarded for complete lines vertically,
horizontally or diagonally.
Shout "Bingo" loud and proud, as long as you are the winner. The "Walk of Shame" back to your table after realising you have made a mistake can blot your reputation !!
What
can I win
The sky is the limit. Last year saw DC's 'Wheel of Crap' dish out some really rubbish prizes, however there's Cash Prizes for most rounds.
Each game has a winner, and there will be plenty of games in your playing card bundle, so there'll be plenty of winners on the night.
And hey, as we always say (when we don't win), just by turning up, you're all winners.
Special
Note
SWU follow the Responsible Service of Bingo guidelines.
Bingo hard, bingo fair but don't let the game of Bingo play you.
Copious amounts of fun will be served on the night, make sure you are part of it.
Venue - Our Lady of Mount Carmel Primary School - Norfolk St, Coorparoo
