It’s not often any industry can celebrate a half century service landmark, but Club 3000 Bingo has done exactly that commemorating 50 years of service from Walkden team member Carol Clarke, who has dedicated her career to the local bingo community since 1976.

Clarke was already a stalwart at Buckingham Bingo when Club 3000 acquired the venue, and has continued to serve with “enthusiasm, dedication and commitment” ever since.

“Reaching 50 years of service is an incredible achievement and one that very few people can claim,” said founder Brian Fraser. “Carol has been at the heart of the club for half a century and is loved by both colleagues and customers alike.”

“Her dedication, loyalty and exceptional customer service embody everything that Club 3000 Bingo stands for. We were incredibly proud to celebrate this milestone with her on Friday 24 July where we presented her with the award and thanked her for her outstanding contribution over the last five decades.”

Clarke has worked in various positions in the club, including as book seller, paybox manager, and snack bar cashier, and still continues to perform many of the same roles, “demonstrating the versatility and work ethic that have made her an invaluable member of the team.”
