On Monday evening 30th October, a local lady went into labour whilst playing bingo at our club in Blackpool. 

Tammy Hall who is 30 years of age and a regular bingo player, has been attending the club since it opened last summer.  She came along with her mother on the night to play her favourite  game,  when she realised the baby was coming just before the late session began.

The staff at the club made sure she was comfortable whilst ringing for an ambulance.  As soon as the ambulance arrived, they escorted Tammy to the car park and within 30 minutes she gave birth to a healthy 8lb 9 oz baby boy who they have named Teddie!  The ambulance remained in the car park as there was no time to drive Tammy to the hospital!

Tammy Halll who is already a mother to 3 other children said:

“I could not believe it, my mum said let’s go to the bingo tonight to get my mind off things as I was 2/3 days late.  I thought I may win a prize and I certainly did, the biggest prize of all a new healthy baby boy.  The staff were incredible and so calm and caring, a special thank you to Phil who realised I was in distress, Larry who then phoned the ambulance and Kairen who remained with me until the ambulance arrived”.

Sean Connolly, General Manager commented:

“What a night to remember, I would like to thank my team for making sure Tammy was comfortable before the ambulance came. We can’t wait to welcome Tammy back in the club very soon to celebrate”.

All of us Club 3000 Bingo wish Tammy and her baby boy all the very best for the future!
