BINGO-LOVERS in Southampton can sign up for the new Gala venue in Antelope Park.

As revealed in the Daily Echo, the new club will open in January, creating 50 new jobs.

The firm says the venue, which is its first purpose-built one in nine years, will feature a traditional bingo hall and new facilities designed to attract a new audience.

People will be able to register for the new club from Friday (Aug 28) when a temporary membership centre will open outside the new club in the Antelope Park car park.

Ian Pritchard, the venue's general manager, said: “This is the first new build Gala Bingo club to launch in nine years and I’m very much looking forward to being part of it.

"We have an entirely new management team, who are equally excited to welcome new members through the doors and make this club a new venue for the local community to socialise and play bingo.”
