The weather is pretty chilly here in Yorkshire this morning, but not half as chilly as it will be during the first game of bingo to be played on Mount Everest!
Gala Bingo have announced that 24 of their most dedicated bingo players will tackle Everest in an attempt to smash the record for the World’s Highest Game of Bingo.
Now, I might be wrong, but this is going to involve slightly more effort than popping on the net for a game of online bingo, methinks. And it won’t be like putting on your jacket and catching the bus to your local Gala Bingo club.
The intrepid group have been training hard as they prepare to take on dehydration, altitude sickness and deep vein thrombosis on their voyage – obstacles more hazardous than even the grumpiest of bus drivers!
As well as hoping to break the world record, the Everest base camp bingo players aim to raise £100,000 for Sue Ryder Care, to contribute to Gala Bingo’s target of £1 million by the end of the year.
Personally, I wish them all the best in their quest (but I’m going to make myself a warm cup of coffee and play bingo online!).
