Shall I go to bingo on my own?

Hi all. Used to take my mum years ago to a good old fashioned bingo hall. I am thinking of things to do of an evening that I can just go to on my own. Does anyone have recent experience? Will I just look sad or do lots of people go alone? I can't remember from years back. I just know you couldn't sit in some people's lucky seat!

A few people go alone. One woman at my local brings her knitting for in the interval. I doubt you'll stand out and you won't have to split your winnings with anyone Grin.

Yes. My mam used to go on her own.
You won't stand out.

Thanks for the quick replies. I am daring myself to just go and do it.

Go alone

You're quite right. Grin Thank you. I am going. I don't know what's up with me, I seem to have lost all confidence!

I haven’t been for a while (well who has eh?!) but when we went as a gang, the ones who were alone were very friendly with us, helping us out with which game to play etc. I think its lovely, and they don’t stand out as being alone there.

Good luck and enjoy!

Of course! I'm planning on going when my DD goes to her GPs at half term. I can't wait. Need to find my bingo card though Grin. Good luck and I hope you have a win.

I did it. Thanks for the encouragement. It was fine. There were a few people there on their own and the caller was going so fast, I didn't have time to feel self conscious. Am now a member and will happily go again. Smile
