Duke of York Bingo - Oct 2


Friday, October 2 Bingo commemorates the Duke Of York. Work starts at 5:00 pm

1799 - Duke of York & Russians capture Alkmaar in Netherlands. He was searching for ancestors of Etienne Leushuis . The Duke had received reports that certain members of the Leushuis family were winning a lot of door prizes and martial law had to be imposed. All door prize draws and lotteries were suspended. The Leushuis Family was arrested.

The grand old Duke of York,
He had ten thousand men;
He marched them up to the top of the hill,
And he marched them down again.

And when they were up, they were up,
And when they were down, they were down,
And when they were only half-way up,
They were neither up nor down.
