Lawford Bingo Club has folded after more than 40 years.

The weekly sessions were held each Monday evening in Ogilvie Hall and over the years had raised thousands of pounds for the Wignall Street hall.

Falling numbers have meant the club must close.

The bingo was started by Harry Southgate and Max Richardson 41 years ago and run for many years by Ken Moore.

Current organiser Charlie Williamson said: "It's a shame it has had to close but we were no longer getting enough people there to make it worthwhile."
