Well, after 2 years in the hobby and work allowing, I managed to get down to Worthing for the slam!
I was really impressed. The guys putting it together and all the volunteers helping it run smoothly should be applauded.
It was great to put a couple of faces to names and meet up with a couple of guys I'd bought and sold pins from in the past. I undoubtedly walked past lots if you unknowingly, sorry about that. Maybe we should all change our avatar pics to our real pics before a show so we can recognise one another. Then again that might not be such a good idea if you've offended someone one here!!!!
Poibug was brilliant and friendly, making me feel very welcome, very easy guy to talk to. After years of reading people posts you almost feel like you know them anyway.
Grizz was busy in his psych out tent keeping a watchful eye on his Tommy, also nice to meet you mate.
It was great to play a variety of games which I'd never seen before.
My highlights:
Really enjoyed EATPM, that is now top of my want list.
Also really enjoyed big guns. Never seen it before.
Whitewater was cool too.
Got to meet Steve Ritchie too.
Big respect to all who supplied their pins for the show.
Look forward to the pinball party in the Summer.
Cheers

So there's my little summary of my first slam experience.
