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 on special
occasions
in the Function room. Friday nights have a 50s, 60s and 70s disco with TONY
ODELL in the Lounge, and a couple of games of PSYCHIC BINGO. On Alternate weeks,
we have TOMMO and his KARAOKE. Click on the 'What's On' button below to see the

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 bingo
costs 50p on Sundays and Wednesdays.
- 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 ?
Each session includes a six-page book where £10 is paid for any line and £20
for a house. There are then 4 fliers with varying prize money depending on
the prize pot.
- 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.
- 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 ?
- 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.
- Poker Nights
Tuesday night in the Lounge is Poker Night. Its all done with chips and its
just for fun. See if you can outwit the other players and finish with the
biggest haul. The first hands are at 8:30pm and there are regular breaks for
smokers and visits to the bar. See Ron behind the bar for more information,
or just come down and watch.
- Quiz Nights
Quiz Nights are run periodically and details will appear on the
What's
On page.
- Line Dancing
Line dancing run on Thursday evenings in the Concert
room. Contact Keith or Joyce (number on posters within the club) for more
details.
- Friday Disco
50s, 60s and 70s disco in the Lounge every Friday night with TONY ODELL.
Dance the night away to popular tunes from a classic era.
- Christmas Raffle
During the last few weeks of the year, tickets are available for the
Christmas raffle, which boasts a wide variety of prizes, electrical goods,
wines, spirits, etc.
