Bingo World Record Set for Highest Ever Game of Bingo
A group of British bingo fanatics have successfully set a new world record for the highest ever game of bingo – at Everest base camp! 25 dedicated bingo buffs last week climbed to an astonishing 17,500ft, dabber in hand, to set the record for the World’s Highest Game of Bingo. Despite the constant risk of dehydration, altitude sickness, deep vein thrombosis and frostbite, they overcame all that nature could throw at them to land the biggest bingo jackpot of all time; calling “BINGO” on top of the world!
The extraordinary challenge was part of a fundraising effort for Gala Coral’s nominated charity, Sue Ryder Care. Following the completion of the trek and the setting of a new record, the team have successfully smashed their goal of raising £100,000 for the charity.
Trekker Ross O’ Shaughnessy said: “The other trekkers at base camp simply couldn’t believe it when we started pulling out the calling cards, dabbers and bingo balls at 17,500ft for the record attempt – I’m sure they thought we had altitude sickness! But the support, camaraderie and cheers that erupted across base camp when we broke the record is a moment that I will never forget. I hope we did the world of bingo proud.”
Dominic Harrison, Chief Executive of Gala Coral said: “I am incredibly proud of the team who volunteered to undertake this challenge of a lifetime. To set a new record for the world’s highest ever bingo in addition to raising £100,000 for our nominated charity, Sue Ryder Care, is a fantastic achievement. I’m sure all of the bingo community will join with me in congratulating the team on a job well done”.
