PLANS to regenerate Margate seafront received a big boost with Beacon Bingo to open two new arcades this summer.

Ten new jobs will be created following the firm's takeover of Crown Bingo in Marine Terrace and the opening of a family-friendly arcade this weekend and another adult gaming centre later in the year.

Managers are holding an open day to recruit staff today and are encouraging interested jobseekers to drop in their CV at reception.

Since the fires at Dreamland and Mr G's amusements, seafront businesses have struggled but the new six-figure investment is just in time for the summer season.

General manager Graeme Corner said: "We're really excited about our new arcades. We want to do our bit to help Margate become a family-friendly resort again.

"We'll have machines for all the family – the whack-em-alls and penny falls that are part of the traditional seaside experience."

Beacon Bingo boss Nick Harding is pleased to take over the Margate club and said: "Bingo is all about great fun and entertainment.

"We've inherited a great team of bingo professionals whom I know will look to develop the business to more customers over the coming months."

Beacon runs clubs across the UK including a 2,600-capacity club in North London – the largest bingo hall in Europe.
