F I V E days of Pinball, including the UK Open

[Deleted member 2463]

My actual head to head record of playing against Andy is very good (not the IFPA who finished higher record when you don't play each over), I don't need any extra help thank you very much.

I do actually care that you would willingly put him in harms way (by suggesting he takes over 10 hours driving in two days - Saturday travelling down and Sunday to go back) to achieve your amazing world famous tournament. That is why I gave him the heads up about the finishing time and that he might wish to have Monday off work.... but hey I'm also worried we'll all turn in to pumpkins!

Pete,

I’ve no idea where 96.33% of the folks coming to the event live. Times are published, and I believe in the fact that each individual has a brain and will use common sense (I know there isn’t a lot of that in pinball but I’ve got faith!). But is it possible to drive 5 hours on Saturday morning then play in the evening session qualifiers - yes (although its now sold out !), and everybody qualifies for the finals! I understand there are trains in the north also!

For the record I’m staying locally in Croydon for the whole event because running a multi day 7-1am day lunging pinball machines and pinball players around with the hour drive to Woking doesn’t seem sensible either!

There is one place left for the Saturday 14:00 session.
There are nine places left for the Friday 17:00 Qualifying session.

Don't leave it too late!

Cheers,
Neil.

I haven’t received the email Neil, I’ve checked my junk, could you please re-send it. I’ve now joined the Facebook group.

So understanding the format I could in theory do an Elwin and arrive on the Sunday morning?

 

[Deleted member 2463]

In theory! But you might come across Lucky Ten Ben and end up out in the first round! What you’ve got to ask yourself is do you feel lucky?

It was sent to your Bristol school address do you want me to change it to your other email Craig?

@Neil McRae - what hotel is good to stay at? Was there any agreed rates with local hotels?

@Nickoss II what time are you about from on the Friday, thinking of getting in about 18:00 - will the club be open?

I’m staying at the travel lodge in Central Croydon £60 a night inc breakfast

I was looking at that, but this one seems closer... https://www.laterooms.com/en/hotel-reservations/72332_aerodrome-classic-hotel-croydon-nr-london.aspx

Plus central Croydon is a little further to the club... @Nickoss II is the man to ask. He knows the curry houses and places that sell the most watered down beer.

no. I'm staying at the Hilton Near East Croydon train station as it has parking and room service and I've got the mrs with me.

Cool! Only thing is it’s £30 more than Travelodge! The club is only a short tram ride away!

If I end with a 9am start @Neil McRae please may I have a lift from you guys on the Sunday morning? Many thanks

 

[James]

That's a very precise number.
So you only know where 4 of the expected 109 people attending live?

Yes.

Theres 5 people on that list... And why is Simon and yourself special with a full spot after your name?

 

[Deleted member 2463]

I'm obviously not playing though Kirk

 

[Deleted member 2463]

9 places left for the UK Open in the Friday qualifying session.
Saturday is now sold out.
Still lots of places for the classics. Remember you can't register on the day for classics, you must pre-register.

Cheers,
Neil.

@cyberkryten

@Neil McRae I read it, but tracking is disabled by default.

Best book a hotel as I'm guessing one or both of Josh or I will be up early on Sunday
