Violence at Gala Bingo

Violence at Gala Bingo
Who knew that “bingo” could lead to violence? It did just that in a Gala Bingo club located in southern England when a group of women were duking it out during the middle of a game.

A fight erupted in a Torquay bingo hall and although there are no details as to what this dispute was about, there are details as to what took place. Apparently a bit of an altercation took place in the lobby and only escalated once the games began. Six women were involved in a brawl that had chairs flying and police on the scene. An ambulance was even necessary as paramedics treated two of the women for injuries to their faces. All six women are banned from all Gala Bingo clubs in the country for life. That's what they get for fighting and ruining the bingo game! On second thought, it probably made things a bit more interesting.

Again, we don't know what started the fight but it might be nice to imagine a few scenarios that may have started the argument in the bingo lobby.

It's possible that all six women arrived at the same time and raced to purchase their tickets. When they got there they argued over who would be first in line.

Maybe they were in groups of three and they were laughing and pointing at each other's outfits or hair.

Could it be that they were all sister wives arguing over whose night it was?

It could have been a number of things that caused that bingo brawl but it sure is fun to imagine what could have been!
