I apologize if this was already mentioned on the forum before.
This has happened a few years ago, but I accidentally stumbled across an articles about Rosalyn Clemson who was banned from every Mecca bingo hall in the UK because she arranged trip to rival venue.
She has visited the same Mecca bingo hall every week with her friends for more than half a century. But when Mrs Clemson, 76, decided she wanted a change of scenery and organised a group trip to a rival hall the bingo chain didn't take it in good spirit.
Mecca said she had broken membership rules and, despite playing at the same hall for more than 50 years, Mrs Clemson and her husband were no longer welcome there or in any of the 100 bingo halls they operate across the UK.
She said her only crime was to ask fellow players if they wanted to visit another hall 15 miles away for a change. She said: 'All I did was organise a little trip to Runcorn for a change of scene for me and a few friends. The way the Mecca reacted you would think I was some kind spy or traitor to the cause. It's like they want to own us body and soul because we are members of the Mecca Bingo."
They said her offence was to have 'approached members at Mecca Chester offering coach trips to opposition bingo clubs'.
Their actions are a bit to harsh, don't you think?
