Old Gala Bingo Club to Be Converted into Evangelical Church

August 30th, 2009

The KICC Evangelical Church as well as City Screen has shown strong interest in the old and disused Gala Bingo Club, which is located in Upper Norwood in South London. KICC would like to convert the bingo club building into an Evangelical Church. On the other hand, City Screen would like to convert it into a movie house that would screen foreign language and art house movies.

The Gala Bingo Club was among the several land bingo clubs that have been shut down recently much to the sorrow of Upper Norwood’s bingo-loving community. Bingo enthusiasts are very discontented about the UK government apathy toward the fate of the ailing bingo gaming industry in UK.

Apparently, the local people are not happy about KICC’s plans. More than 5,000 people in Upper Norwood have placed their signatures on a petition against the conversion of the bingo club into a church. Those who staunchly oppose the church plans feel that a movie house would serve the community better than an Evangelical Church.

Currently, the home of the KICC Evangelical Church is in Wimbledon. They have plans to move to Upper Norwood and already own the freehold to the old Gala Bingo Club. However, they might find it very difficult to convert the club into a church without a fight.

The chief operations manager of KICC, James McGlashan, in an interview with Croydon Today, said: “Its intention is to use the building as a centre from which the whole community could benefit. The church says it will actively support the community by providing skills training, counseling services, youth meetings and a children’s club.”

McGlashan also claimed that “local people would be welcome to use the café and bookshop planned for the centre. And they would be allowed to watch, free of charge, weekly showings of independent films,” which he labeled as “good family entertainment.”

The local people, despite their protests against transforming their beloved Gala Bingo Club into a Church, do not have the power to make decisions. The matter is now in the hands of the Bromley Council. This council is to come to a decision after making a careful study of the plans laid down by KICC Evangelical Church and after determining if the construction of the church would really be of value to the local community. Currently, the people of Upper Norwood simply have to wait for the decision made by the Bromley Council.
