Findlay Meechan, currently our manager at Carlton Dalkeith, has decided to take a step down as part of his gradual retirement plan, and will soon be joining Carlton Dunfermline in a part-time role.

Findlay worked at our Dunfermline club from 2015 to 2020 so is no stranger to the venue and everything it has to offer our customers.

A gradual or phased retirement is a good option for some, as it offers the opportunity to take your foot off the throttle and enjoy a more relaxing lifestyle.

The experience that Findlay has is priceless as he’s been working in the world of bingo almost as long as the game has been around. Here's a rundown of Findlay's previous roles over the years:

1979 - 1982 - First job in bingo. Caller at M&M Entertainments

1982 - 1983 - Caller at Flight Leisure Kinema

1983 - 1986 - Manager at MBE Leisure 101 Club Rosyth

1986 - 1987 - Manager at CAC Leisure Musselburgh

1987 - 1989 - Queensferry Moat House, time out from Bingo

1989 - 1993 - Sovereign Leisure Picture House Cumnock

1993 - 1999 - Forth Bingo Area Manager

2000 - 2007 - NB Leisure Area Manager

2007 - present - Carlton Bingo

We’re delighted to have him stay within the company for that bit longer. Dalkeith’s loss is a definite gain for Dunfermline. 

Findlay is incredibly well travelled and can now spend more time doing the things he loves.

We wish you all the very best Findlay on your new journey into the world of gradual retirement.
