It's game time

Grab your dabber and get ready

Bingo isn't just for seaside holidays. Join us at John Wood for an evening of number calling, near misses and that all-important shout of "house!"

It's one of the easiest games to pick up, so there's no need to know the rules before you arrive. Our ResLife Ambassadors will hand out the cards, call the numbers and keep the energy up all evening. With several games to play and prizes up for grabs, every round is another chance to win.

Snacks will be on hand to keep you going between games, and it's the perfect excuse to step away from your desk and meet some of the other students in your building.

Come with your flatmates, bring a friend or arrive on your own. Everyone's welcome, and you never know, tonight could be your lucky night.

Bingo is only a dab away

ResLife Ambassadors will meet you in the John Wood Social Space. The space is fully accessible with automatic doors and accessible toilets on the ground floor.

There is plenty of seating available. ResLife Ambassadors will be there to welcome you. You'll be able to recognise them in their light blue RLA hoodies and t-shirts with the ResLife logo on.

There will be some unstructured time at the start while people arrive. If you're coming on your own, our RLAs will happily introduce you to others or find you a seat. RLAs will hand out bingo cards and explain how to play before the first game.

Numbers are called out loud, and there will be several games across the evening.

The room may get louder when numbers are being called or someone wins.

If you need a quieter spot or a break, just let one of our RLAs know and they'll be happy to help. Snacks will be available.
