Bingo! as Roger bids for top prize
SHEFFIELD bingo caller Roger Hartley is hoping his number comes up - when he takes part in a national Caller of the Year competition later this month.
The Gala Bingo employee won his place in the grand final by impressing judges in regional rounds.
Now the 33-year-old, from Parson Cross, faces an even tougher test as he competes against callers from all over the country to be crowned the national champion.
Roger, who has been worked in the bingo scene for 10 years and is currently based at the Wadsley club, said: "I am absolutely ecstatic to be in the final.
"With the support I have received from the public I feel like a true star and can't wait to show the judges what I'm made of!
"My bingo club has always prided itself on providing the best callers - I want to keep that reputation alive."
If he wins, Roger will walk away with a cash prize - and the chance to audition to be a caller on Gala TV channel.
The finals are in Birmingham on Sunday June 29.
