We're proud to celebrate an extraordinary milestone as Elizabeth "Liz" Barbour marks 40 years of dedicated service.

Liz began her journey working part-time weekends when her daughter started school, at a time when the venue was known as Kingsway Entertainments. Her commitment and passion quickly saw her move into a full-time role, beginning a remarkable four-decade career in the bingo industry.

Over the years, Liz has witnessed the club evolve through several transformations and ownerships - from Kingsway Entertainments to Granada, then Gala, and now Club 3000 Bingo, the largest independent operator with the biggest prize money venues!

Throughout these changes, one constant has remained: Liz's warm personality and dedication to customers.

Reflecting on her time, Liz fondly recalls not only the changes in the club but also the memorable uniforms, from brown overalls and pinstriped shirts with bow ties to today's purple shirts and waistcoats.

One of the most rewarding aspects of her career has been building relationships with customers.

Liz said:

"It makes me feel old when I see three generations of the same family coming in for a game of bingo. It's great to get to know your customers - everyone knows I love a chat."

Liz credits her long service to the friendships she has built over the years, both with colleagues and customers alike.

Liz added:

"It's lovely working here. I've made lots of friends over time, and with my love of talking, I'm sure I'll make many more."

Paul MacPhee, manager of the Glenrothes Club said: 

"Everyone at the club and the wider Club 3000 Bingo family extends its heartfelt thanks to Liz for her incredible dedication and contribution over the past 40 years, what an amazing achievement, we have lots of special games planned over the coming weekend to commemorate the occasion, culminating in a big money special night on Sunday 2nd May hosted, as always, by Liz herself”

Congratulations Liz, from all of us at Club 3000 Bingo!
