A popular and much loved bingo employee at the Ritz bingo club in Castleford is celebrating her 25^th year of working at the club. Ellen Riding has spent the whole duration working at the Castleford bingo club and still to this day enjoys it as much as her first day. The well respected bingo employee also had another big celebration of celebrating her 60^th birthday last Sunday where she had a surprise birthday party which was organised by her daughter that all her close friends and family attended.

Ellen who is mother to 3 children and 5 grandchildren works very hard at the Ritz bingo club and enjoys every minute of it, she is a great friend to all the staff, and has a very close relationship with all the regulars who she has seen on a regular basis throughout her 25 years work.

Even though she celebrated her 60^th birthday last week Ellen said “I have enjoyed my time here and I love what I do, I must love what I do or I wouldn’t still be here” Ellen also commented how she is very proud to have been here for 25 years but says there is still plenty of years of work left in her yet and she isn’t going anywhere, when Ellen isn’t working, she spends all of her spare time with her husband and beautiful grandchildren and enjoys her life been busy and doing the things she loves.
