Bingo fans have been shouting 'house' at Gala Bingo in Hanley for four decades.
And now the venue will celebrate its landmark anniversary with a disco featuring the music of the 1960s and 70s.
Sean Connolly, manager of the club, in Albion Square, says: "January 2018 sees the 40th anniversary of bingo at the site and we'll be celebrating with a party day on Friday, January 19.
The venue was built in 1962 after the demolition of the former Essoldo cinema.
Sean says: "It opened as a Top Rank Suite and operated under this banner until around 1973, when it was re-branded as Baileys, which traded until 1977.
In January 1978 EMI Social Centres took over and launched bingo.
It was a Coral Social Club between 1984 and 1991, and has traded as Gala Bingo since then.
Sean, who has been the manager since 2014, says the club has been at the 'heart of the community' since the 1970s.

He adds: "There was a couple who came in about a year ago who had met here 40 years ago. They decided to celebrate the anniversary of when they'd met by playing a game of bingo at the club.
"We've had some big winners over the years, including a lady who won £20,000 a couple of years ago.
"We have a mix of ages who come to play. It's mainly older women, but 35 per cent of our customers are under the age of 30.
Do you remember nights out at the Top Rank in Hanley? Or do you have memories of playing bingo at the Gala club?
