Upto £37k...?

The aims of the project are to test the feasibility of working in a Bingo club setting to deliver a group-based physical activity intervention (the pilot Well!Bingo programme) to older, socially disadvantaged women.

This will involve recruiting women from a Bingo club to participate in the intervention

Somebody watched that specsavers advert and still thought it was a good idea when they sobered up?

They'll need to offer more than that.

Those ladies get pretty fierce when you try to get the markers and cards out of their hands.

Thinking about this, it is also depressing that we think 'fitness' could be sat down, wobbling your bingo wings around...rather than a walk or similar...

[i] The aims of the project are to test the feasibility of working in a Bingo club setting to deliver a group-based physical activity intervention (the pilot Well!Bingo programme) to older, socially disadvantaged women.

This will involve recruiting women from a Bingo club to participate in the intervention, collecting and analysing baseline and outcomes data (including accelerometer data), overseeing the delivery of the intervention and conducting exit interviews with Bingo customers and staff. There will also be the need to travel to other Bingo clubs in Scotland to assess their suitability for delivering the intervention.[/i]

This is about reaching out to a group and extending an activity they are already doing to try to increase the exercise value - presumably.

Not dissimilar from encouraging kids playing outside to climb trees?

It might work - wrestling is good exercise. Perhaps you could get 20 women competing for 10 cards. Or you could put stickers with the numbers on around an obstacle course.

Actually that sounds like quite good fun. Assault bingo, who's up for it?
