IT was "full house" in Stourport as two Brownie packs turned to bingo to help raise cash for Operation Covert.

About 80 people turned out for an evening of the popular game at the Mid-Severn Scout Centre in Lickhill Road.

The event, organised by the 5th and 6th Stourport Brownies, raised £140 for our appeal.

Cathy Ready, Brown Owl for both groups, said: "It was a great night and everybody had a lot of fun. There was a lot of shrieking from the girls when they had a full house.

"The girls will go to Rhydd Covert when they join the Guides so they felt it was important they raise money to rebuild the centre.

"As an ex-Brownie and Guide from Kidderminster I remember walking around there. I have done many miles around Rhydd Covert, so I am thrilled the girls wanted to do something."
