Image caption, Bob and Margaret Lusher say they have hugely missed their bingo outings
Margaret and Bob Lusher are regulars who come from Norwich to Great Yarmouth for their bingo outings. And they were back today.
"It is a friendly club," says Mr Lusher, sitting at one of the tables inside The Palace at Great Yarmouth.
"We've missed it so much - our friends, the bingo, everything. I have missed this more than the shops," says Mrs Lusher.
"I would rather come here than go shopping."
"It is the biggest thing I've missed during lockdown," says Mr Lusher.
Asked what he most wanted from his visit, Mr Rusher says: "A win. That would be nice."
"And to see our friends," says Mrs Lusher. "We've not seen them for about six months."
