Afternoon all,
It's been a few weeks since the Play Expo event in Manchester and it's compelled me to organise an event in the North East. Gateshead to be exact. Not a kick in the **** from Newcastle.
I've deliberately kept it out of the way of Expo as I wouldn't want to clash or step on anyones toes.
It'll be held at the Gateshead Stadium sports hall. It's 33m x 43m and I'm planning on a combination of Pinball and retro video arcade. Say 50 pinball and 50 video.
With all those machines, I'm hoping I'll get the go ahead for 1300 visitors.
The Stadium has good parking and transport links. A train station is just over the water. There is also a hotel nearby which I'll contact to try and arrange an agreed rate with.
I've already made contact with key people for machine pledges but would love to hear from more. Especially those located within the North East.
If you think you can help in any way, even if it's advice, or potential vendors, please contact me.
So, put that date in your diary. 29th & 30th June 2013.
Philip
