Entertainment At Tyseley WMC
Entertainment plays a big part in the weekly schedule at Tyseley Working Mens
Club. There are events on every Saturday evening in the Lounge and every Sunday
in the Function room. Click on the 'What's On' button below to see the
forthcoming attractions.
Additional events are arranged from time to time and at Christmas time and these

Regular Attractions
Tyseley Working Mens Club holds a number of regular events and draws, which
prove very popular with the members. Entry to Sunday bingo and entertainment
costs £1.40 for adults and 70p for senior citizens and children. There is a flat
charge of 30p for bingo on Wednesdays, which is returned as prize money.
- Door Ticket Draw
The entry fee to the bingo entitles the holder to a ticket, which goes into a
prize draw. The prize is a free session of bingo.
- Bingo
Bingo takes place every Wednesday (9-10:15pm) and Sunday (8-9:15pm) in the
Concert room. Total silence descends on the room as the players listen
intently for their numbers to be called out. The atmosphere becomes tense as
the game progresses and there is a mixture of relief and frustration as the
winner calls 'house !'. How lucky will you be ?
- Super Sevens
When you purchase your bingo books, you can get them stamped for the Super
Sevens for just 20p. If you win a game on a seven, you win the accumulated
bonus prize, but only if the book has been stamped.
- Bonus Board
When 'house' is called on a number on the bonus board, that number is removed
from the board. Winners completing the board gain an extra prize.
- Snowball
During the evening, one game contains the snowball draw. If 'house' is called
on or before the snowball number, the lucky winner also collects an extra prize, which
accumulates over the weeks until it is won.
As well as the standard game, two variants of bingo are also played, as a
little light-hearted relief from the main event. These are Psychic Bingo
and Standee Uppee, Sittee Downee.
- Psychic Bingo
In Psychic Bingo, players choose three numbers from the usual 1-90
used in the normal game and whoever's three numbers are called out first wins
a prize of up to £100. The stake for this game is just 50p. How well do you
think you will do ?
- Standee Uppee, Sittee Downee
The entry fee for this game is £1 and all the entrants start
in the game. As soon as your number is called, you are out and take no further
part. When there are only four players left in the game, these are called to
the floor for the final stages.
Two more players are eliminated to leave the final two entrants and at this
point, you get to show your true colours - do you agree to share the £80 prize
money between you or try to grab it all, by waiting for the other player to be
eliminated ?
After the bingo on Sunday evenings, there is a show from one of the many
performing artistes that are available to the club through its agency
contacts. These vary from week to week, featuring music to suit all tastes.
- Open The Box
The 'Open The Box' draw takes place every Wednesday and Sunday
evening. The holder of the winning ticket has the opportunity to chose a key
and stands to win the jackpot if they open the box. There are 13 keys to
start with and this decreases by one each week until the jackpot is won, to
a minimum of 3 keys. The jackpot increases
every week until it is won and can reach between £1000 and £1500. A winner
who fails to open the box now receives £30.
- Mini Tote
A Mini Tote draw takes place every Wednesday and Sunday evening.
Anyone choosing the two winning numbers wins a share of the tote prize,
which reaches around £150 for each draw. If there are no winners, the
numbers are redrawn.
- Bowls Tote
The Bowls Tote draw is made every Sunday evening. There are 48
numbers to choose from and the prize fund accumulates over a number of
weeks, until a winner is found. This can run into hundreds of pounds.
- Entertainment Cards
Entertainment Cards are drawn on Saturday and Sunday evenings.
Saturdays usually have two cards with 48 chances each, stake £1. Each card winner receives
£24. On Sundays, two cards are also run with a 50p stake, each winner receiving £18.
- Quiz Nights
Quiz Nights are run periodically and details will appear on the
What's
On page.
- Karaoke Thursday
Thursday night is Karaoke night in the lounge. Just come along and choose
from a wide selection of songs. It's all good fun, so have a go.
