I am please to announce that the first meet of season 10 will be held alongside the Alien launch party at the Four Quarters East on Sunday April 2nd.

The league format is changing again (thanks to IFPA) and will consist of 3 meets (Four Quarters East, Brewdog & Four Quarters Peckham) with a final held at the end of the last meet.

The expected machine list for the first meet is,

Alien
World cup soccer
Road show
Fish tales
Flash Gordon
Eightball Deluxe

Entry on the day is £5 and gets you into both events with under 16's free.
 
I'm hoping to get there at some point on Sunday but probably later in the afternoon.

Will there be an Alien to play for people not in the tournament?

remind me where it is again Matt, i thought it was Shepherds Bush but it's not, it's somewhere in the East or South East isn't it?

There is parking at 'Here East' in a multi storey 100 yards away. If you can't find the bar, head towards the canal. There is a parade of restaurants etc and the Four Quarters is there.

Unfortunately, Martin (of pinball news fame) is unable to attend this Sunday's launch party. He was to be taking pics and writing a report to be published on his website. If anyone else has any interest in doing this in his absence, then I believe he would be very grateful and offers a small gift to all those that produce write ups for Pinball News.

Drop me a message if interested.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for all the work you put into this event (+Sarah & Justin). Great to see another good venue and more new faces.

Alien was looking great. I had no idea what was going on but it looks like it's got the potential to be a great machine. Seeing it so close to 24 really brought home how much more was in Alirn compared to a Stern Pro. Looks like Andy should have a real success on his hands. It's leaps and bounds ahead of Full Throttle. :)
 
Thanks Matt and everyone at Four Quarters and Heighway for a great day. Well chuffed with my win (first ever!), a few odd looks on the tube carting my translite home mind, but it was worth it! Alien looks like a real winner and I own a small piece of it already! Maybe I can build it, bit by bit by winning the individual parts? [emoji23]

Likewise Mr Mission,
Thanks again to Matt and everyone else for a top day out :thumbs:
 
Gutted I missed it, Kids birthdays. I gather everyone liked Alien - nice.
 
Great machine, really deep ruleset and brilliant software. Fantastic use of the license. Definitely one to have at home, you barely scratch the surface in a pub environment.

Have to admit to being tempted to laying down a deposit on one! Very reasonably priced too compared to new Sterns and JJ machines.

Of course- I reckon I should be entitled to a discount now! As Helmut himself said, they don't need to sell me a translite!

Thank you Matt and Sarah from me too. Fantastic day.

For those near London,

I stayed in London overnight and went back to Four Quarters East today hoping for a couple more plays. It turned out the bar was shut but the manager was there and came to the door. He told me that Alien would be hanging around "for a few days."

I'm very sorry I didn't ask how many days but at the time I was a bit gutted that I couldn't play it.

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but Alien won't be available to play at the Four Quarters. It will be in Brewdog Sheppard's Bush shortly though.
