So Kitty Kingdom friends….what do you cool cats get up to on a Sunday afternoon? Finishing up those weekend chores? Getting ready for another Monday? Yawn Yawn!!!!

Well have we got news for you!

Beat the Sunday blues and get yourself down to the Kaikanui Tavern Kaiapoi on Sunday 25 August and play card bingo with us!!!!

The games start at 1pm, why not pop down a bit before that….get a drink and maybe something to eat before the games begin….the food is yummy!

A couple of the girls here have already checked out the bingo and it’s a lot of fun!

Games are just $2 a round (so make sure you bring your coins). Half of the pot gets donated to the cats and kittens and the first person to call out Bingo gets the other half!

Jules at the Kaik will have some other great games for us too!

There will be a meat raffle kindly provided by the Kaik and they will donate half of the ticket sales to Kitty Kingdom! What a good bunch they are!

We will also have a Kitty Kingdom raffle on the day, with some really amazing prizes!!!

We promise you will have lots of fun….and belly laughs and we really hope to see you there.
