Apologies to all who have signed up but I’ve taken the decision to postpone this until later in the year due to lack of sign ups (13) so far after a couple of drop outs. Am planning to hopefully move it to late October, will add another event nearer the time for it. Looks like it was a bad date plus many are not willing to travel far due to current petrol prices.
 
If it's at mine then it will be later October as I'm away earlier in the month. The flip frenzy format means all players get plenty of game time and little time stood around.
 
So as it stands, the new date will be Saturday 29th October

I’ll put further details on next week and hopefully have it registered with the IFPA by the end of next week along with opening up the signups too.

@Lecari and I will be there! Providing we can find suitable nearby accomodation.

Might drag @MajesticPinball up too
 
Travelodge South Shore Blackpool, opposite Arcade Club (**** pins) reachable. Shard Riverside Inn probably closest but likely pricier.
 
Stayed at The Inglewood last year too, was really good and the biggest hotel bathroom I’ve ever seen 🤣
 
I was looking at staying closer, but if Blackpool is a good option and gets me fed a breakfast I might do that.

What time would you start Ian?
