Long-time Endeavour Bingo organiser Paula Greenwood … Kingaroy RSL will take over running the Friday morning bingo games after the Endeavour Foundation decided to pull out<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

March 3, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Endeavour Foundation will close down all its bingo operations in Queensland by the end of March, including its popular Friday morning bingo in Kingaroy.<\/p>\n

Andrew Thomas, Endeavour’s Executive General Manager for Supporter Enterprises, made the announcement in an email earlier this week.<\/p>\n

“It is with regret that I advise that Endeavour Foundation will cease its Bingo operations by the end of March,” Mr Thomas said.<\/p>\n

“Endeavour Foundation Bingo has been a long-standing component of our fundraising activities in Queensland.<\/p>\n

“Our games in Rockhampton have been running since the early 1970s … (and) Endeavour Foundation Bingo has also operated in Logan Central and Beaudesert, Caloundra, Bundaberg, Maryborough, Hervey Bay, Bowen, Mackay, Kingaroy and Pine Rivers.”<\/p>\n

Mr Thomas said while Endeavour appreciated the community support it had received, particularly in regional Queensland, it was felt bingo games were no longer a viable fundraising activity.<\/p>\n

“I’d like to recognise the many promoters, other staff and volunteers who have contributed to Endeavour Foundation Bingo over the years,” Mr Thomas said.<\/p>\n

“The last game day for Endeavour Foundation Bingo will be Thursday. March 24.”<\/p>\n

Today local Endeavour Bingo operator Paula Greenwood said she was disappointed by the decision, but fans of the Friday morning bingo games held at Kingaroy RSL shouldn’t despair.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mrs Greenwood said the RSL will take over the bingo games at the end of the month.<\/p>\n

“The same people who’ve been running them for years will still be running things, so it should be pretty much business as usual,” Mrs Greenwood said.<\/p>\n

“And the RSL will distribute any profits to local good causes, so the community will still benefit.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
