Oldest Bingo Player Turning 100 Felicitated 

Really it is amazing - to think of turning 100 years - with a full life on this earth.  But there are people blessed with this rare chance and to think that at this age the lady from Cardiff, UK is playing Bingo - simply hats off!  Because Bingo playing is a test to your senses and their right functioning in co-ordination, whether it is land based Bingo Club you are playing or online.

Bingo playing online can be said somewhat easier with the auto daubs at work, where as you have to be watchful and alert while you go to a land based Bingo Hall to "Bingo" loudly when you strike "full house" before any one does. Back to Amelia Turner, the longest living lady of UK, who plays Bingo in one of the Crown Bingo halls as well as British Legion Club Bingo games.  This Guy Fakes Day at British Legion Club at Cardiff the old lady was felicitated by friends and relatives in large numbers.  They paid respects with curiosity as she is recognized as regular player of Crown Bingo even at this age. Crown Bingo had sent their congratulations on the centenary of their Bingo player and the friends gathered showed that Bingo in UK has a social angle, apart from being a pastime, where people make it an opportunity to mingle with each other joyfully. There is a side story as well to Amelia Turner in having received the congratulatory card from the Queen.  The card was late by 10 days as it is her official birthday as entered by her father - in good olden days there were not strict rules as of now - by a good two months later.  So he forgot the actual birthday by that time and on a guess entered her birthday as 15th instead of 5th. Bingo playing has many interesting facets like this one, where age has nothing to do and only the fun and pleasure remains for ever.  Our whole hearted wishes for Amelia Turner to turn many more years in her life.
