How can you smash the record for the world's highest bingo game? Climb Mount Everest, of course. An intrepid team of bingo club employees plan to follow in the footsteps of Sir Edmund Hillary and scale the world's tallest mountain. It's all part of a year-long campaign to raise £1 million for the charity Sue Ryder Care. Last month, employees at Buckingham Bingo Huyton embarked on their own epic charity adventure by climbing Mount Snowdon, the tallest mountain in Wales.

It is beyond dispute that online bingo has attracted many young first-time players. But here at Bucky Bingo, we recognise that the numbers game still enjoys a phenomenal level of support from the older generation. We want to pay tribute to a couple of these mature players, Anne and Nell. Anne is 102 years old and a loyal member of Buckingham Bingo Bradford, where she recently hit the headlines by having a chat with Philip Davies MP.

Club-based Bucky Bingo players cannot get enough of the Bucky Bullseye at the moment. Incredibly, the £50,000 bingo game was won three times in the space of ten days in August. As well as the jackpot, the Bucky Bullseye pays out £50 to every player in the club - the latest win saw 260 fellow bingo fans receive the generous cash prize. Here, the Bucky Blog lifts the lid on this bingo game phenomenon.

Bucky Bingo is a proud supporter of the campaign to keep bingo duty at 15 per cent instead of the 22 per cent proposed by Chancellor Alistair Darling. So far, a Downing Street petition has gained more than 2,500 signatures as word continues to spread among loyal bingo fans. Now, two MPs have voiced their support for the 'I'm Backing Bingo' campaign. The Liberal Democrat MPs for Romsey and Edinburgh West have talked about the importance of bingo to local communities.
