The O.D.V.A 1/1

...........stands for The Oriel District Veterans Association. As the name suggests, they spend Saturday nights playing Bingo in the huge main room. We had to pay £1 each to get in but this was made up for in the back room where you can play Pool for just 30p.

  • Age: Old, old old!
  • Ale: 2/5 - XXXX, Stella or Fosters? Dodgy bottles of Becks also available.
  • Barstaff: 2.5/5 - All ropey apart from one.
  • TV: 2/5 - One TV in each room.
  • Toilets: 1/5 - "Smells like OAPs nappy"

Mark dropped a tenner and the feller on the next table (eventually) returned it. So that was nice but one visit was enough for Regy.

Overall: 3/10

It is nice to see that younger members of the public are visiting the ODVA but when reading your comments I note that you mention we spend Saturday night playing Bingo! Did you not notice we have live entertainment, you obviously were watching the tenner you dropped waiting for one of the OLD OLD OLD people to pick it up. You have mentioned the Club in your pub guide but as already stated we are a Social Club not a pub and you will notice if you visit any other social clubs in the area (oops sorry you wont be able to as there are no others open now except the ODVA) all social clubs play Bingo but not all Social Clubs are still open and bring in large crowds every week like the ODVA. Thanks for the unbiased report but if you are a sample of younger people looking for somewhere to drink, then aren't we lucky we are frequented by the older generation
