Bingo Hall To Open Late

Bingo fans in Oldbury are set to benefit from a late-night licence at one hall

 

Bingo fans in Oldbury are in for a treat after one local hall announced it plans to host live music and karaoke events.

Mecca Bingo in Halesowen Road currently closes at 23:00, but the application, if granted, would see the venue's opening hours extended to 02:00, the Express and Star.

Graham Murdoch of planning agents Murdoch Associates told the newspaper: "Their current main bingo sessions finish between 21.30 and 22:00 each evening but a proportion of members will stay to play the various amusement machines or other ancillary gaming and have some refreshments up to the midnight closing.

"As a result of the success of the introduction of a broader and later bingo offer at a number of clubs, Mecca Bingo are in the process of developing this further and introducing it into a number of their clubs."

The main reason for the move is to allow the club's members the chance to enjoy games machines for longer.
