Is it in the same arena ? We had a map last year with directions where to unload, do you still have that if its in the same place ?
I will be down Saturday morning around 8am, can you save me a space in a good location, if possible next to StarWars by the pinball Heaven stand, just so I can park R2 when charging and then I can go play some pins.
Many Thanks

2 personal requests to pin donators or anyone setting up someone else's machine,
1) please level your machine, nothing more annoying than a machine that isn't level ( to me at least! :D). And level the playfield not the cabinet, yes I've seen that done and proved it isn't good enough to do it that way.

2) Please return to the machine once the show is underway to make sure it can be heard, its quite a shock how loud these shows get and there's nothing more boring than a machine with apparently no sound.

End of rant. :D

sadly mate sound wise doesn't really work.The sound just melds together,generally.Exception being some Gottlieb sys 80b games with speakers higher up
 
I refused to stay in that Travel Lodge after last year. Was more expensive then Premier, the room was cold, and the 2nd bed in the twin room was basically a f*cking fold up camp bed thing with a tea towel for a mattress. Should have kicked off really. The only plus is its basically next door to Spoons.

Nah you can usually hear enough if its been turned up sufficiently. Remember the Hook last year? could hear that in the car park :D
 
I stayed in the PI last time and it was fine apart from it having half a wedding staying there and it kicking off. The breakfast was superb!
 
Premier Inn West for me, and there all weekend inc lock in. Skiing at the snowdome after dropping machine off Friday :).
 
Yeah I'll be there both days again, no lock in and no hotel, see you all there!

Ah but then it just becomes a volume battle :D

I'd kindly request that pin loaners enable SLOW RESTART, so that you can reset games to single player by holding in the start button. Nothing more annoying than having to plunge through a four player game (and don't want to be power-cycling machines too often really).

Dude I’ve no idea where we were, but you kipped on the floor, probably for no money, and blagged into a free breakfast so stop moaning. Bloody freeloaders

I think last year someone kindly sorted out some 'Pinballinfo Name' badges ........which were useful for putting names to faces ... is that happening again ? :) Can't rememeber who sorted it

That was me...think I might have some left...& I suppose I can always sink more of the work printing budget into making some more :D

They'll be on the NLP desk...come & grab one.

I can’t make this event this year so I’m bloody jealous of the lot of you. You are all a bunch of #bastards# and I hope you all have a lovely time :)
