North Parade Bingo club in a run down holiday resort of Skegness is one of the last dinosaurs of the relatively careless eightees era. It's separated from the north sea beach by an old concrete car park and a rusty amusement park and is aging gracefully together with its guests, who have been coming here for tens of years. Its decor, equipment and design have remained unchanged. As has the club's atmosphere that makes you feel like if you had just landed in the 1980's after travelling in a time machine.
