60s and 70s BINGO Recap
Our 60s & 70s-themed Music Bingo was a blast from the past, filled with toe-tapping tunes and far-out fun. Partygoers munched on delicious finger foods, indulging in classic tea sandwiches, fondue, and groovy cookies. But the real treat was the music! We belted out iconic hits from the swinging sixties and the funky seventies, marking off squares on our bingo cards with each familiar tune. The competition was fierce, but friendly, as everyone vied for those fantastic prizes. And let’s face it, who wouldn’t want to win a prize after showing off their best dance moves to “YMCA” or belting out a chorus of “I Will Survive”? So, here’s to another groovy gathering! Stay tuned for news on our next themed event – you won’t want to miss it!
