Keighley Streets - Winter Night Score League
5th event in a series of 8. Post box Bingo!
Wed 06 February, 2019
Level of event: Local
Type of event: Score, Urban, Night
| Thanks to everyone who came along to Keighley, hoped you enjoyed the format which seemed to go down well. A lot of postboxes in Keighley and a lot of hills, so well done to all. I will aim to do BingO again next year and make it a bit easier to collect a row. A few people got row 13-18 which included one of the 'V' postboxes for an extra bonus! Special credit to Dave for bringing pens to colour in with! | |||||||||

In a change to the usual format, please write down the ‘royal’ from when the postbox was built.
So if the emblem is ‘ER’ write ‘E’ in the box, if it is ‘GR’ write G. Not every postbox has one, so write ‘none’ if it is blank.
All controls are worth 10 points, except if you find a ‘VR’ that is worth 20!
