I'm probably one of the few people to go to Castle Bingo and leave with a Potted Plant. No shouting…read moreof the word HOUSE. No pound signs in my eyes - just a potted rose plant. I feel this perfectly justifies why myself and my family only go once a year (to celebrate my Nan's birthday). We all arrive having already spent the money we never seem to win! Yet at just £14 you can't complain - It makes for such a fun family night out. BINGO BASICS: If you haven't visited Castle Bingo before, joining is free! Fill out the simple form behind reception and you'll receive your temporary card. *Keep hold of this as if you win you need this to claim any winnings. Purchase your Bingo Books from the Booksales Department before taking a seat. You'll then have your first instalment of Bingo around 6.30pm! *Remember to concentrate as all you will ALWAYS have the number called, it's just the placement that varies and determines the winners. Numbers are written in columns. Single digits in the first, tens in the next then twenties and so on... If you win, jump on the table and swing your top around your head - Okay not really. Shout HOUSE, BINGO or raise your hand in the air. A member of staff will then check your claim and bring you your prize. GOOD LUCK! PS - It's ridiculously cheap to drink and eat here. For only £4.50 you can have a main meal, hot or cold drink AND a dessert!

According to their website, this Castle Bingo in Canton was the UK's first ever purpose built bingo hall, and it shows. This building, both inside and outside, has started to become a little bit shabby, but nothing that a clean down and a spruce of new paint wouldn't be able to tackle. Inside the hall it all feels decidedly 90's. Phoenix Nights and other such images spring to mind, as well as caravan holidays in Cornwall. But there is something annoyingly addictive and competitive about bingo. And still I manage to enjoy it every time.

This Castle Bingo in Bridgend has recently had a refurbishment, so is one of the nicer and more high-tech of this chain of bingo halls. It's just a couple of minutes from the town centre, and so is very easily accessible to all.

This club opening hours are sporadic on the best days, it depends if the manager (M) feels like…read moreopening, no one is going to go there if there is a chance of it being closed early or not opening. one wonders why she is doing this? The manager has made the club pay out £20,000 to travelling folk as they claimed she is racist towards them and would not let them enter the club, her husband is on the committee which is against club policy. Something is not right here which is a shame as when my dad went here it was a lively club, bingo/shows every Saturday, yearly outings (free) for the kids and pantomime production as well as going to the real pantomime. The manager however does take a GREAT INTEREST in doing her private buffets, and has no problem opening on these days. Gone are the old days, maybe the Memorandum and Articles need amending to cover clubs interests if club ends up bankrupt

My cousin booked wedding buffet here and was lefty really upset. Contact was near impossible before…read morethe wedding buffet as this place was always closed and nobody to answer phone (landline -business line, not mobile as advised by WHICH). Make sure you take out wedding insurance as things that were promised were not given. Food was bland and not enough, decor was old tat but luckily my cousin took some of her own stuff. They tried to get her to pay in cash and kept pushing for this, (not sure why),make sure you pay with credit card although they were not happy with this. On occasion club organiser was rude at questions asked and because deposit was paid made it clear that it was non refundable, so if you cancelled deposit would be lost. Black guests were questioned on arrival! not sure why? My niece posted a non favourable review too, immediately afterwards 5 GREAT reviews were posted which were probably false, so please beware of fantastic 5 star reviews. My poor cousin was devastated but made the best of a shoddy wedding buffet. So take heed, book here at your peril, because once your deposit is paid the communication turns sour especially if you have a complaint. Club will try and get any bad review removed so share this info with anyone who's thinking of using this club. Have a look at some of the previous negative reviews (engagement parties that they have ruined too)and the attitudes of the staff.

Bowling clubs seem to have a great knack for hiding themselves away in places that you don't expect…read morethem to be. This club is just such a place, literally hidden between Marlborough and Sandringham Road - you don't even notice that it's there, which is remarkable given the size of it. There are both men and women's bowling teams that play both competitive and friendly games. Penylan Bowling Club now also supports the Cardiff Bridge club which meets on Tuesday and Wednesday evening. They have over 150 members, and it's a great social club. Both of these games are usually associated with more mature people, but I there are a lot of younger members here. The two clubs often hold social events like barbeques which often feature live music and dancing, and occasionally include a game of bingo.
