Mammoth Effort
In late December, the Bingo Club at Bernies in East Runton presented the cheques for their year-long fund-raising efforts. The club meets every Sunday and Monday, organised by Ali Dixon and over the last few years have raised over £14,000 for good causes.
In 2012 they have split the money between Cromer Health Practice and Walsingham Midwives Team (covers North Norfolk). Each received a cheque for £1500. Dr Pam Ripley commented, "The money will be really helpful. It will be used to buy equipment for the practice that is not funded by the NHS. A cholesterol testing machine, which will allow us to give a thumb prick test on site for quick results. Also it will allow us to do SATS tests on babies to check for lung disease which will save patients a trip to Norwich."
Debbie McCoy from the midwives, said, "We will use it to purchase new digital weighing scales as well as a Sonicaid heart monitor. Proprietors of Bernies, Keith & Heather Hindson, said that not many people realise that the Bingo Club is free membership and they raise a fantastic amount of money for their charities. There will be a Quiz & Chip night on March 9th with the Cromer & Sheringham Lions.
"On any given Sunday or Monday there will be at least 30/40 people, sometimes standing room only," commented Ali. "The
