I am totally disgusted by the way the North Cyprus Cancer Trust announced after the bingo on Monday that they were no longer using Mambo's Bar as the venue. Myself and several others are really angry as we have been supporting the bingo for several months and have put a lot of money into the pot and now the jackpot is over 1300tl we have been told by some jumped up committee member that the venue is now being held at the roof bar. We don't want to go to the roof bar, at least let the jackpot be won first and then take your business elsewhere or put the money that we have contributed into the charity and start again. Whatever personnel grief you have with certain ex members of the trust should not be taken out on the establishment just because this is where they frequent, grow up.....!!!

I am not a bingo player,but i totally agree with bazilbrush, to move the jackpot to another venue is

morally wrong ,at least keep it at the Mambo Bar until the rollover has been won, to give people that

have been playing for several months a fair chance to win.

We all know that anyone could have walked into the bar on Monday night for the first time, and won a lot of money,that's the chance the regular players take.There does not appear to have been any thought given, as to how the decision taken will effect the Mambo Bar and the regulars who have supported a charity for so long

This is just not on,Mambo,s should be allowed to continue at least until the jackpot has been won.Does this charity really need help?

Thought that someone from the charity concerned,would have tried to explain their reasoning for

moving the venue at such notice,and not taking the regulars feelings into account
