SOCIAL AND POLITICAL BINGO PLAYERS
19/04/2005This survey of more than 100 people, was commissioned last weekend to mark the National Bingo Game Association's £1million ground shaker game.
Perhaps surprisingly no sporting event made it high up in the list but all the top ten events were drawn from significant social and political moments in history. A spokesman for the National Bingo Association said, "It is warming to note that the top issues all relate to people and personal freedom."
The choices in the list reflect the community spirit of bingo players and also the women-centric nature of bingo communities, as two items on the the list relate to freedoms won specifically by women.
The Top Ten was as follows:
1. Fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989
2. Neil Armstrong walks on the moon in 1969
3. First UK heart transplant in 1964
4. Women win the right to vote in 1928
5. Thomas Edison invents the first incandescent light bulb in 1869
6. Martin Luther King Jr's "I have a dream" speech in 1963
7. The end of apartheid in South Africa in 1990
8. The capture of Saddam Hussein in 2004
9. Equal rights for women, including equal pay, in 1975
10. The release of Nelson Mandela from prison in 1990
