Are they Next Bar’s Secret Bingo Weapons??
Last week they were enforcing Bingo Law.
This week they've somehow become Lawn Bowls Champions.
We don't know who gave them the trophies.
We don't know who approved the uniforms.
And we're not entirely convinced they've ever played lawn bowls.
But they'll be at The Next Bar this Wednesday, overseeing another highly competitive night of bingo.
🎱 Bingo kicks off at 6.30pm
💰 $5 per game, up to $500 in cold hard cash up for grabs
🍻 Happy Hour 4pm–6pm
🔞 R18
Come and see what all the fuss is about!
