Beats By Bingo
🎶 BEATS BY BINGO – LUCKY OR UNLUCKY? 🍀🐈⬛ It is Friday the 13th after all… what could possibly go wrong?! 😜 Grab your friends, round up a table and come along for a brilliant night of Beats By Bingo on Friday 13 November! 🎵🎲 Think bingo… but with tunes, laughs, a little friendly competition and hopefully some VERY questionable singing along! Even better, every bit of fun is helping 28 Hauraki Plains College students get to South Korea 🇰🇷 and Japan 🇯🇵 in 2028. This trip will give our students the chance to discover new cultures, see more of the world, grow in confidence and independence, and make memories that will last long after the jet lag has disappeared. ✈️❤️ 🎟️ $35 per person 👯 Tables of 6, 8 or 10 🍴 Food available + pre-booked platters 🎲 Games & raffles throughout the night 🎧 DJ from 9pm — because apparently three hours of musical bingo isn't enough music for us! So grab your mates, test your musical knowledge, cross your fingers for some Friday-the-13th luck 🍀 and help get our students one step closer to South Korea and Japan 2028! Come for the bingo. Stay for the beats. Support an incredible adventure. 🎶🇰🇷🇯🇵 📅 Friday 13 November | 7–10pm 📍 Ngatea War Memorial Hall
