National Bingo Game Caller of the Year Competition
Following her win, Horton will represent Mecca Bingo in the UK’s National Bingo Game Caller of the Year competition. This event, scheduled for November in Wakefield, will see her face off against callers from other bingo operators, independent venues, and holiday parks. Judges, alongside fans, will evaluate the contestants during the competition.
I’ve worked at Mecca Bingo for a really long time (17 years), so it differs every day! I love the spread of different people I get to meet and chat with every day. But, above all, it’s such a great feeling when you call out winning numbers for big wins – especially when it helps them pay for big life events like a hen party or moving house. Having competed at Wednesbury against some of the best of the best, it’s a real honor to be heading to Wakefield to represent Mecca. I hope I’ve done Brierley Hill proud, and I can’t wait to celebrate with our customers.
