If you have fulfilled your requirements for the year, please do not sign up to work bingo’s prior to one week before the bingo date. This ensures that everyone can get their required bingos completed. Priority will be given to those needing to work off their requirements. You may put your name on the spare list prior to the week before so we know we have interested & available people to work in the event the spots do not fill.

- Don’t have your cell phone out on the floor.
- RUN if you are the nearest person to a bingo. The quicker we get the Bingos, the quicker we get to go home! Try and spread out so the whole place is covered and there is always someone close to whoever yells Bingo.
