If anyone is looking for something cool to do, @ponyatmoana run a musical bingo on the first Saturday of every month. Free, lovely venue, the host was great and you get to sing along with your mates. Especially loved the Brit round last week 🎵🎤🎶

Met up with fellow conventrians to celebrate @coventrycityfcofficial firstly being promoted and then winning @efl_championship
