Including some of the clubs staff more than 20 people were chosen to audition in the contest and the six finalists will perform in the grand final tomorrow night at 7pm at the Moor Lane Mecca Club. The finalists are: Laura Peacock, of Horwich; Steve Haywood and Keith Burgess, from Farnworth; Donna Morris, from Tonge Moor; Louise Gover, from Great Lever; and employee Kerry-Anne Booth, from Breightmet.

Mecca Bingo senior membership manager, Will Clarke commented: “We’re all looking forward to the club final and seeing the performances. We also want to raise enough for as many hours of nursing care as possible.”
