Gala Bingo in Greenbridge is to hold a free afternoon of bingo to celebrate the New Year.

The bingo bonanza will take place on Sunday.

Steve McKenna, Gala Bingo managing director, said: "We can't think of a better way to start 2005 than with a free game of bingo.

"January can often be a gloomy time for people after the festivities of Christmas, but a free afternoon of bingo is guaranteed to put the sparkle back."

There are three million regular bingo players in the UK.

Participants must be aged 18 or over.
