Rise and shine for a set of Sunderland bingo scenes which will hopefully have you clickety clicking on our picture gallery.

It’s International Bingo Day on June 27 and we are celebrating with a look back at the game on Wearside from 1992 to 2012. Whether you went to the Mecca, Gala or Savoy back then we have reminders of them all.

It’s a top of the shop line-up of Sunderland Echo archive memories and we want you to share your own.

Tell us if you remember these Mecca scenes from 2012, 2011 and 2004. Or maybe you were more of a fan of the Regal, pictured in 1994 or the Gala which got our attention in 1992 and 2005.

We also have the Top Ten bingo hall in 2004 and the Savoy in 1996. Tell us more about them all by emailing [email protected]
