Being generally unaware of what day it is at the moment, I organised a reminder call this evening, so that I could go and record the sheer determination of the town's Bingo players.
Being barred from playing indoors for some months now, a system has been created whereby they can play in separate vehicles, with the numbers being relayed to them via a low-power FM transmitter and their own car radios.
"Runners" inspect winning cards through the window, after a claim has been made, via a quick beep and subsequent light signals, they then read out the numbers on the 'potentially winning' card to the adjudicator via walkie-talkies.
Initially, in the Summer, it took place in a field beyond the town, but ground conditions suggested a change to harder standing at the beginning of October, once the system had become established.
Tonight's will be the last for some time, I suspect, even outdoor gatherings are banned here after Christmas day.
