[Jul 31, 2011] PinGolf Competition 31st July, at Ochran Mill (NP7 9HU)

[Paul]

Our PinGolf contest consists of 18 "holes" played on various machines. For each hole a particular machine will be specified with a target for the player to achieve in as few "strokes" (balls) as possible. For the first nine holes the targets will be scores, for the second nine holes, on the same (or similar) set of machines the target will be goal orientated - drop a particular set of targets, achieve 5x bonus, start multiball etc.

A detailed set of rules will be appearing shortly, once I have had them checked by the IFPA's representative. The competiton is approved by the IFPA and will qualify for WPPR points.

There will be a description available shortly of the holes (Subject to machine availabilty).

Anyone travelling down from/through the east midlands and want and to share a lift/costs? I'm in Lincoln.

Millets, then take it back on Monday?

If you're really stuck we've got one spare here but might be taken by Saturday.

much appreciated offer, but i found one half price at argos for 19.99 so i think i'll probably buy that so as not to chance it. i've not camped out for about ten years, might be fun to get out of the big smoke for a weekend. hmmmmm

Was looking forward to making it down but it looks like I will have to miss out as having to work Fri/Sat.

I am sure all who make it down will have a great weekend and its even given good weather.

Have fun pin people.

For anyone coming from the East, (unlikely to be three wisemen as I don't think there's even one on the forum) in light of the M4 problems I recommend getting off at junction 24 going north on the A449, getting off at Usk and turn right in the middle of Usk town towards Chainbridge, straight after you go over the bridge (you won't miss it) take a left and go straight on untill you reach the A4042 then take a right, we're a couple of miles down the road, look out for a big 50 sign on the Friday and Saturday or a Pinball sign on Sunday.

I had a great time Dave, thank you and thanks also to your missus for the hospitality and all the excellent grub. I enjoyed PacMan and Laser War the best, cos everything else kicked me into touch. I've decided that a ball save is definitely still my favourite feature on a pinball machine.
