EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming photo print, we are transported back to the vibrant 1960s, where friendship, fun, and a touch of luck intertwined. Newsagent Mrs Helen Retter stands proudly at the center of the frame, surrounded by her fellow syndicate members. Their beaming smiles tell a story of triumph as they hold their heads high after an exhilarating night out playing bingo at Maida Vale. The camaraderie amongst these women is palpable; their bond forged through shared laughter and anticipation. As they clutch their prize money amounting to an impressive £83, it's evident that Lady Luck had favored them on this particular evening. The joyous atmosphere captured in this snapshot serves as a reminder that leisure activities like gambling can bring people together in unexpected ways. Arthur Campbell's expert lens captures not only the elation of winning but also the spirit of socializing during those simpler times. This image transports us to an era when games were enjoyed without screens or technology distractions - when genuine connections were formed face-to-face. As we gaze upon this nostalgic scene, we are reminded that moments like these are timeless treasures worth cherishing. It serves as a testament to the power of friendship and reminds us all to embrace life's simple pleasures with open arms – just like Mrs Helen Retter and her syndicate did on that memorable summer night in August 1961.
