An East Kirkby bingo club has been raising church fund for the maintenance of the village hall and St. Nicholas Church for more than twenty five years. Last year they raised more than ₤1 000 and they have been doing this every year going back for a quarter of a century. There is a dedicated team of volunteers who hosts a bingo night that attracts a great deal of support from the village. The bingo night is held every Tuesday at 7:30pm.
Val Lingard is the bingo night organizer and they have an organizing committee of ten other ladies. They work between themselves to organize fund raisin activities, but bingo is one of the most popular. Many of the people that attend the bingo fund raising evening have been coming to the weekly game since its inception twenty-five years ago. Their bingo books cost 25p and they play twelve games on the night, prizes include groceries and fresh meat. The money that is raised is used for the general maintenance of the village hall and recently the bingo club paid for a new kitchen and disabled toilet for the village hall.
