@Big Phil or anyone else, what's the latest I can arrive with a game to setup this evening? I'll be knocking off from work soon but might take a while to get up there from Notts :)

Setup began shortly after 1pm, and largely complete just a few hours later thanks to the fantastic number of people helping

A couple of very special pins (nemo and matrix) made an appearance mid afternoon thanks to Ad making the epic trip. Fair to say he had a long day and was the first to fall on the pub crawl

And the best takeaway in Newcastle, everything from kebab, cake and speciality pizza

NERG is still hands down the best social event which is rudely interrupted with pinball.
 
Ad is legendary.. He was on a cheese high at one of the Welsh pinball classics. He bought far to much cheese at the food fair just down the road from Dave Rolfes house.
 
Just sat down. Beer opened and pizza about to be devoured. Thanks again for your tremendous support. The event was the best attended yet and there's been nothing but brilliant feedback. I salute you all.

Right.....a few days break then I best start looking at planning a couple of events next year.....

I'm home now too. Top marks to Phil once again. Superb event, and really appreciate the generosity shown a number of times through the weekend to the many many people that help out.

Really hope this event can continue to grow and allow more people to experience such a great weekend away.
 
Yup, a great weekend social rudely interrupted during the day by pinball and vids.Pie n peas =meal of kings.Thanks to Phil and all the other awesome nerg helpers, U ROCK

Adding my thanks to Phil for a great weekend and for looking after us all so well.
Great to meet up with great friends for the weekend of pinball beer and good company.
Poibugs pizza disaster was one of the high lights of the first evening and our first pub recommend turned out to be a butchers that also sold craft beer ?????? Drinking beers while looking at slabs of meat. I kid you not.
Thanks to everybody that helped out and made it another great event.
Roll on next year.

Well home after NERG and as usual @Big Phil you put on a fantastic show!!! The split chimp was a brill touch mate and very appreciated - cant wait for the next one. Great to see all the gang again and had a fab time even though my usual sidekick had swanned off to a stag do!!!! Deffo Poi's state on friday was epic and such fun!!!!.

Sorry didn't get to say bye to all the lads, as they had gone to the pub again!!! I needed to get back as I wanted to finish the floor in the pin shack while the weather was good and pleased to say it is done.

Thanks again Phil

Just going through all the social feeds and the buzz is fantastic! I've totally messed up on my figures though. I was telling you all that the attendance on Sunday was 680....it was actually 826!! I don't know where I messed up. So, Saturday was a sellout at just over 900 and Sunday was just short. This year has been the most successful NERG yet. I'm over the moon. Thanks again for your support.
