EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the excitement and anticipation surrounding a groundbreaking event in the world of entertainment. In 1962, Eric Morley, the visionary behind Mecca Dancehalls, had an audacious idea that he hoped would revolutionize Bingo meetings across the country. Enter canned horseracing films – a concept that promised to take this beloved game to new heights. The image transports us back to a special trial run at Tottenham's prestigious Royal Ballroom on January 24th, 1962. The atmosphere is electric as bingo enthusiasts eagerly gather around television screens, their eyes fixed on the thrilling races unfolding before them. Eric Morley himself can be seen orchestrating this historic moment with utmost precision. This innovative fusion of two popular pastimes was met with great enthusiasm by both players and spectators alike. It offered an exhilarating twist to traditional bingo gatherings, injecting an element of suspense and unpredictability into every session. Cyril Maitland's expertly captured photograph immortalizes this pivotal moment in entertainment history – a glimpse into a time when technology merged seamlessly with age-old traditions.
