We had an excellent weekend in Cwmbran, South Wales
for the Welsh Classic on Saturday and the Welsh
Pinball Cup on Sunday.
The event plans started in April 2016 and found and
booked the Olive Tree in September. The date was
booked around helpers shifts, but was soon clashed
with two bigger European competitions.
Events like these wouldn't happen if people didn't
offer to help in any way. Entering and paying
before helped alot, machine pledges etc. We
advertised twice on BBC Wales Radio and with local
flyers. We didn't get that many public and we don't
know why?
So would like to start thanking certain people.
Pledgers. Dan & Phoebe Lewell for 3 Pinballs, Ian &
Dan Wallace for 3 Pinballs, Kev Donovan for 3
Pinballs, Simon White for 4 Pinballs, Mike
Kindler,Mike Parkins and Helmut Lagenbruch for
theirs too. Darren for the Fishtales. Poibug for
tech work.
Special thanks to Ed Emms for the endless van trips
and the Pinball lumping.
Also, the guys who stayed on to help fold down,
Kevin Donovan, Dan Williams, Don Gauld and Tom
Fletcher. Very much appreciated.
Need to thank my son Alex for all his work before
the event to set up the console section, borrowing
tv's, buying extra controllers and putting the
venue back to normal.
Deb for flyer design.
Thanks to my sister who put up with my storage
requests and looking after loaned machines.
Of course, Lynda for everything she does that I
take for granted and who had to put up with me
before, during and after.
Thanks to Greg for the Scoring template and
apologies that we didn't use it (lesson learned)
Also thanks to Andrew Thomas, Romain and Kim Wilde.
Apologies if I missed anyone out.
Dave.
