Derby local crowned Bingo Presenter of the Year!

Monday 16^th September, 2024: Celebrations are taking place at Buzz Bingo Derby this weekend after the local presenter, Issy was crowned Buzz Bingo’s Presenter of the Year 2024.

Issy who has been a bingo presenter at the club for the past one and a half years, took part in the Buzz Bingo Presenter of the Year final on Sunday 15th September, where they competed against five other finalists from different Buzz Bingo clubs in the UK.

Finalists had to record a video about themselves describing why they should win which was live streamed to all clubs. Once judges named Issy as the winner, Issy got to call the final game of bingo. The event proved to be a real celebration of the bingo community as members from around the country visited Buzz Bingo Derby to cheer on their favourite local presenters.

After a month-long competition, Issy emerged victorious after he was pronounced the winner,  proving they had the charisma, energy, and calling skills to win the hearts of many Buzz Bingo Derby players. 

Lucky presenter Issy won £500, a luxury 2-night break in the UK and a place at the NBG Caller of the Year. The NBG Caller of the Year is an industry competition hosted by the Bingo Association. 

This year it is being held at Wakefield on Sunday 17th November and will see Issy up against presenters from other bingo operators around the country competing for the title.

When asked how they feel about being crowned Buzz Bingo’s winner, Issy said: “I can't believe it and I'm still in shock! The energy in the room is unreal. I’m so happy with how it all went today, and I’m fired up for the NBG Caller of the Year. I might change a couple of things, but I feel like I’m in a great spot after today!”

Claire Bingley, General Manager at Buzz Bingo Derby said: “Buzz Bingo Presenter of the Year is not only a wonderful celebration, but it's a moment to really show appreciation for all the hard work our presenters put into making bingo the game it is today! Issy truly embodies everything that makes bingo fun and exciting—a born entertainer who lights up the room with his infectious energy and has made many lifelong friendships at Buzz Bingo Derby over the last five years.  We’re looking forward to supporting him at the NBG Caller of the Year final in November!”
