Melissa Bliss
Revesby Village Hall

Eyes down for a full house! Welcome to Revesby Village Hall for a special game of bingo hosted by Melissa Bliss. The theme of the game is vegetables o fthe world and you will play for big vegetable prizes. People from all over the world come to Lincolnshire to work on the land. More and more workers are needed 24/7 in factories processing imported as well as local produce. At the same time the kinds o fvegetables grown and processed locally no longer just include traditional English varieties. So now we can see people from the former Soviet Union, Africa and the Middle East working in Lincolnshire with vegetables traditionally grown in their own countries. Melissa Bliss draws on a long history of educational Bingo games to recognise and celebrate an aspect of the national cultures of Lincolnshire's migrant workers.
