BINGO club staff will be flying high next month to raise money for charity.
Mike Travis and Paul Kay from Mecca Bingo, on Talbot Road, Blackpool, will perform a sponsored skydive to raise money for the national children's mobility charity, Whizz-Kidz.
Mr Travis said: "We've been holding a number of fund raising events over the past months and this is probably one of the most exciting and certainly the most nerve-racking.
"Colleagues, club members, friends and family have all been extremely generous so far with their donations.
"However, I urge anyone who hasn't donated to dig deep, after all it's not everyday we offer to throw ourselves out of a plane."
Their jump is just one of many that Mecca team members from around the country will take part in simultaneously at different airfields – to raise cash for the company's nominated charity for 2008.
Mecca has the overall aim of raising £250,000 nationally this year.
