Michael Hess came up with an absolutely brilliant idea. He has combed unique Bingo Clubs and snapped photos of the charming bingo characters throughout the UK and created a book called Bingo and Social Club.
Here is a sample of one of his photos and explains:
"I took this particular picture in 2008, in Flutters bingo club in Biggleswade. The thing that really strikes me about this picture now is how timeless it is. You go into a bingo hall, and it feels like you're stepping back into the 1960s. When I first saw the man in the foreground I thought, "Oh God, he's a character straight out of that era, right down to the glasses." He was looking torwards the board on the wall, with all the numbers; I thought he would make a strong image. You can also see the shape of the old cinema auditorium behind him, the building sloping back."
I think LBB should put up a Pictorial bingo characters!!
