It’s a sports club fundraising initiative with a distinctively Kiwi rural style.
Participants can guess where a cow pat will land on the pitch at Te Puru Park, Beachlands, on Sunday, September 29.
It’s the day of the annual Battle of the Bridge rugby tournament staged by Beachlands Maraetai Rugby Club, 1-5pm.
Laura Gemmell, of the club, says it’s “a quirky and quintessentially Kiwi fundraiser”.
“Cow Bingo is a raffle with a difference. A property surveyor will use a drone to mark out our rugby field into squares.
“Each raffle ticket corresponds to a square. A couple of calves will be led out onto the pitch and we’ll then wait and see which square is the recipient of the cow’s ‘deposit’.
“If the deposit covers more than one square, it will be a case of majority rules,” says Gemmell.
The winning ticket in Cow Bingo will walk away with $5000, she says.
“We’re running cow bingo as an alternative to our usual annual charity dinner, because we know the cost of living is an issue at the moment.”
Raffle tickets are $10, at https://events.humanitix.com/bmrc-cow-bingo
