That clashes with the northern pinball league meet in March unfortunately.

What about the 22nd ?
For reference Rob…. These are the dates that the Northern League have league meets booked in

Thanks
22nd March is the East Anglia Pinball Open, not sure how many northerners are going, but Big Phil and I are.
Too many pinball comps. 
. Hopefully can get a date that suits the majority!

Unbelievably- I can’t make the 22nd owing to a clash with my daughter’s dance show; but best to go with what suits most people. Would love to come along , hopefully it could be the 1st of many and further meets happen - such a great venue for pinball
And I’m in Texas on 22 March.
Me too
If the 22nd doesn’t work is it worth looking at an alternative in March prior to TPF?

Or the 15th ?
29th maybes better for most to avoid Mother’s Day on 15th.
Mothers Day .. when electric circus died every year . In 2022 we had NO customers until regulars at 7pm
Yeah- I can imagine it’d be a tough sell roping along the family. I used to work in the car trade- only punters that would come into the garage on M day were towed in by the AA

Ok then I am going to put it in the dairy for the 29th
Cool- thanks Rob, looking forward to it 
Bingo!
Every Sunday in March is now pinball for me
8th Northern league in Southport
15th Preston pinball in Blackpool
22nd Texas Pinball Festival
29th Space Bar in Sunderland
Perfect

Just a bit of constructive criticism around your start time which I'm sure many tournament veterans would agree on. I would say start around 11 a.m at the very latest for 10 rounds of matchplay. I've never known of a matchplay Starting at 13:00. Good luck with everything on the day.

Unfortunately the venue does not open till 12 and need time to setup but thanks for the info if it’s popular then we could get the venue to open earlier on our next one thanks
Whats the parking situation like around there on a Sunday?

There is a car park directly opposite Spacebar

Damn kid’s dance show now rescheduled to the 29th- I’d be happy to come along still for a few hours - need to leave by 3:30 but probably cutting it too fine to take part in the comp. Let me know if you want a hand setting up @Rob davo and I can pop by at 12
12pm would be great thanks
Can we start Retroids May tournament at 11am?

Just checked parking is 3 quid all day
As 12 rounds are guaranteed Paul, it would just finish too late so that is why it's a 10 a.m start.
