Beacon Bingo gives Cricklewood 102 year-old the perfect birthday surprise
Staff at Beacon Bingo, Cricklewood, wanted to make the
102nd birthday of one of its most loyal customers, Mary Van-Gelder,
extra special last weekend [Saturday 19th October], so they threw
her a party at the bingo hall she has visited every single week since the club
opened 24 years ago.
The Beacon team arranged a bouquet of flowers, bottle
of bubbly, a cake, balloons and a surprise party with Mary’s friends, ensuring
it was a day to remember.
Commenting on the surprise, Mary said: “It was so wonderful that Stephen and
the rest of the staff have put this together to help me celebrate my 102nd
birthday. I have made so many friends here at the bingo hall, both other
players and the staff, I cannot thank them enough for making this day so
special.”
Stephen Young,
Cricklewood Beacon Bingo’s manager, said: ““As soon as we found out that it was Mary’s
102nd birthday
we knew we just had to get something put together to help her celebrate it! It
was a brilliant night and Mary was
smiling the whole way through. She was so surprised with the party we had set
out for her!”
“Bingo clubs
like the one here in Cricklewood play an important role in the lives of a lot
of people, many of who love the social aspect of coming out to play Bingo – and
we love it too. So many of our customers are great friends and our staff are
proud to call a lot of our regular customers friends as well. Therefore,
celebrating Mary’s big
birthday was important for everyone involved with Beacon Bingo here in
Cricklewood.”
