These people are from in and around Britain and are going out there to break the record of the world’s highest game of bingo.

Mark Simm manages the Gala Bingo site around the British area. Mark Simm is from Wigan, the 42 year old is a passionate bingo follower and he, along with his team, will be climbing Mount Everest to break the record.

The team of 24 bingo fans will be starting their trek from Lukla on the 19th of October. If everything goes as per the plan, they will reach the base of Mount Everest by 24th October. On the same day, they will start playing the high altitude bingo games to break the world record.
