Sheep Bingo!
New exciting village bingo session from the comfort of your own armchair - raising funds for the Meshaw Together project.
Bingo sheets now available. Project team members will call on you in the next week or so with the bingo cards and rules, or contact the webmaster at webmaster@meshawvillagedevon.uk. Please enter to help the Village Hub to succeed and thrive.
How does it work? There will be two flocks of ewes (red and yellow) numbered one to ninety, so you can buy and compete in two bingo games at the same time. As the ewes produce a lamb (single, double or treble) we will notify the players by email each day around 7pm the ewes' flock, colour, and number, so you can mark off your bingo cards.
There will be prizes for a line and a full house. Full house wins half a leg of lamb dinner (meat and veg) and a line wins a box of chocolates. Written rules of the game will be issued when you buy your bingo sheets. Lambing will start around the end of February or beginning of March so you have time to join in.
Price £3 per sheet for six cards or £5 for two sheets.
