Club 3000 Bingo

There was a time when 'the future' was to be signalled by the turn of the 21st century: think Buck Rogers or Kubrick's Space Odyssey.

When human existence hit that the magic two, zero, zero, zero, the flying cars would be unveiled, trips to Mars would be rolled out and we'd all be given a robot each to do our housework. We thought.

2000 came – and went, without so much as a computer chip malfunctioning or a Martian setting foot on our hallowed planet. So when is the future going to happen now? '3000'?

Well, yes actually. And one place that has been quick to seize the initiative is Club 3000 Bingo. No longer the preserve of bored, wrinklies – it's the game with the numbered balls: you'd do well to get involved.

Why not try Thursday evenings, where you'll be treated to free sessions throughout the night and the chance to play for the £1000 prize game. The Talybont and Western Avenue halls are close by – so students why not come down and have a go at clearing your overdraft.

Don't be intimidated by the prospect. Bingo is all about opening its doors to the outside world these days – and not just because of the smoking ban. There's free entry and membership on offer with a friendly staff welcoming any bingo virgins among you.

The entertainment doesn't stop with the bingo either, with a great value bar – pints from £1.50 – and low-priced, quality food, cheap pool and fruit machines with huge jackpot payouts of £500.

Get your legs (eleven) over to Club 3000 on the double.
