REGULARS at a village bingo hope Brenda is not quite ready to put away her balls even though she’s retiring after 30 years as a committee member.

Brenda Garner is the caller at West Walton Village Hall bingo and last week was presented with a crystal vase to mark her retirement as vice chairman and bookings secretary.

However villagers say they hope Brenda will stall for the next bingo, due to be held on September 6.

The bookings will now be taken by Mick Bass, 86 School Road, West Walton, PE14 7HA. Tel: No 01945 461383 or mobile 07788710560.

She was presented with a crystal vase which was inscribed “Presented to Brenda Garner, in appreciation of 30 years service to West Walton Village Hall.”
