It is a really strange phenomenon, but bingo seems to have the ability to really bring together a tight knit community. This has been proven by studies and widely expressed by the faithful members of bingo clubs that have closed down. Some members of these clubs feel that their weekly bingo games are the only social life they experience and when they close experience a very deep sense of loss regarding the closure. They are unable to have their normal get together, game of bingo with a cup of tea and chat with their friends that they had before.
