 Bingo Birthday greetings to Sally Melia our star Mecca Bingo player from Knotty Ash in Liverpool. She turned 103 and celebrated her birthday in true bingo style when friends and staff threw a surprise party complete with hundreds of cards, a cake, and balloons at her local Mecca Bingo club. Sally has been a regular at the Liverpool club since she was 60 years old and can easily claim to be the oldest known bingo regular in the Mecca Bingo group.

Sally was born in 1906, and worked in her youth for tailors Roberts and Bromley, and during the war s at a Royal Ordnance factory. She retired at 65 in 1971 as a school cook. Sally has lived through two world wars and raised seven children, ten grandchildren and eight great grandchildren. She has been a member of the bingo hall in East Prescot Road, Knotty Ash for 43 years.

Sally has been visiting the Mecca bingo club once a week. “She looks forward to her bingo every Saturday”, said her son Bill who accompanies her on these visits. The manager of Mecca Bingo club, Steve Linder added: “Sally is as fit as a fiddle and more active than some people 30 years her junior, she is the queen of this bingo hall and deserves to be treated like Royalty.”

Here is what the birthday girl and the celebrity Mecca bingo player has to say about her favourite activity: ” I don’t know what I would do if I could not get down to the bingo, it keeps me active and you meet some lovely people. One of these days I’m sure I will land the big Jackpot”. Now that one spirited bingo player.

During last week’s parliamentary meeting, the UK government voted with an overwhelming majority in favor of the proposed tax regime that places bingo clubs under a 22% tax net. This fueled massive protests against the tax hike which has been  labelled as ‘unfair and unequal.’ The online bingo community has unanimously decided to continue with their ‘I’m Backing Bingo” campaign fight against UK government’s decision to continue with the 22% bingo tax  and has declared its support for the bingo halls.

Despite the government tax decision, the official BackBingo.com website continues to receive a lot of traffic clearly indicating the massive support from Bingo enthusiasts. Anyone wishing to affirm their support for the cause just needs to log on to the site. They can also download ‘Back the Bingo’ badges for posting on their Facebook profile or they could  join the ‘Back the Bingo’ campaign on Facebook, sign up for a massive signature campaign featuring on the 10, Downing Street website or  they can choose to write to their local MP about their concerns on this issue.

The ‘I’m Backing Bingo” campaign which was kick-started by Mecca Bingo and the official UK Bingo Association. The campaign aims to mobilize public and parliamentarian support for the protest. Several bingo campaigners were upset with their local parliamentarians. These MPs went against their promises of casting a vote in Parliament against the tax hike and actually  voted in favor of the legislation.

Several MPs, like Dhanda Parmjit who had introduced the Early Day Motion on the floor of the house to begin with, had to vote in favor of the tax hike due to legislative compulsions. A couple of Labor Party members, like Eric Ilsley and Dary Taylor did vote against the hike, but the motion went through. The motion to revoke the proposed tax regime was defeated 283 to 83. 

Watch this space for further development on the I’m Backing Bingo campaign. Hope you are joining it.

Mixny Bingo has removed this particular promotion but has not put up alternative promotion as of yet. They will definitely touch base with their players and announce an alternative / compensation very soon. They may offer the cash value of tickets, or just find something to replace them.

CryptoLogic’s annual shareholders meeting is on the 3rd of June and two of the key positions are said to be filled during this very important meeting. There has been some kind of unrest with CryptoLogic, with the former CEO’s SEC filings. In simpler words, the authorities on the CryptoLogic’s board of directors are not happy with the CEO’s recommendations and will electing two new members instead.

Cryptologic is also going to have a reformation of the existing board and a new chairman will be announced soon.
