A major player on the north-east bingo scene has sadly passed away. Kay Newton, who owned a famous Grimsby bingo club, was 83 years old. She was a popular figure and will be remembered fondly across the local community. Perhaps Mrs Newton was best known for running the Clifton Bingo Hall boutique where she brought the latest beauty products to the streets of Grimsby. She was a successful horse trainer who twice won the Bunbury Cup at Newmarket.

Fate has dealt a kind hand to an assistant bingo club manager called Audrey White. Mrs White won a huge £1 million jackpot recently - after being given the wrong scratchcard at her local supermarket. She originally wanted a £2 Lottery scratchcard but now she's counting her blessings after the cashier gave her a £5 card instead. It's a remarkable turnaround for the bingo club professional. Just three years ago, she narrowly avoided having her modest semi-detached home repossessed.

Bingo fans in the north east have protested against the planned closure of a community centre. The facility, on Harehills Road in Middlesbrough, could be shut despite the fact that work has still not begun on its replacement. Whinney Banks Youth and Community Centre offers twice-weekly bingo sessions and residents are concerned they'll be left with nowhere else to go. However, Buckingham Bingo Peterlee is just a few miles down the road while online bingo gives people the chance to play wherever they live.
