Those in charge at Club 3000, in the Broadwalk Shopping Centre, said they had hoped to keep the club open until next spring, and the closure was coming 'sooner than we had hoped.

The final day for the Club 3000 venue will be on October 31, and those in need of their bingo fix in south Bristol are being invited to take a free bus service every Saturday to the company's nearest bingo venue - 45 minutes away in Cwmbran, in South Wales.

Structural problems with the Broadwalk Shopping Centre's car park - which sits directly above part of the bingo venue - mean the club is shutting sooner than bosses had hoped.
