England Women"s Rugby Team"s visit

THE England Women’s Rugby Team visited a Loughborough bingo hall last week.

The squad are currently staying in the town while they train at Loughborough University.

And during some down time, they took a trip to Beacon Bingo in Baxter Gate and even managed to win a few rounds!

Whilst they were there, members of the team also signed a rugby ball for the bingo hall to auction off for charity.

Andrew Collier, manager at Beacon Bingo Loughborough, told the Echo: “It was a wonderful night and I wanted to say a thank you to the team for helping our charity.”

Money raised from auctioning off the signed rugby ball will be donated to CHIPS (Children’s Happiness Involves People).

The charity – which was founded on behalf of the casino and gaming industry – provides wheelchairs for children who would otherwise have no way of getting around on their own.

CHIPS has presented over 400 wheelchairs to youngsters.
