Hi guys,
just in case any of you are heading down under next year it may pay to keep the following dates in mind and get a bit of pinball in while you're here.
I have cut and pasted the info below from the Pinside thread - if you need more info either contact me or ask questions on the Pinside thread of Pincade 2016.

Regards
Clive

"Pincade is the brainchild and baby of Aucklander Yee Fong ... we all pitch in where needed. I handle the Pinside side of things for Yee. Feel free to ask any questions here on this thread at pinside , or drop me a PM.

Last year we had visitors from France, Holland, USA, and of course 20+ aussies.

Dates are now set as below:

Thursday March 10th - Christchurch (South Island)
Friday March 11th - Christchurch in the morning, then fly back to Auckland (North Island) for Friday evening pinball
Saturday March 12th - Auckland - Visit 3 collections
Sunday March 13th - Pukekohe - RDs house, and the System 11 World Championships (and more)

There will be a number of IFPA competitions over the weekend, culminating in the first ever SYS11 World Champs which will be a whole day event.

If you don't want to play in any of the comps, no stress! Plenty of other pins/arcades to play, and beer to drink, and food to eat.

Cost ... minimal. To be confirmed by Yee, but a small fee to cover the Lanyards etc.

You can see pictures from last years event in this thread ... scroll through and check them out!

Sounds great Clive, not the competitive side but the fun side drinking beer and playing pinball .
Would love to make the trip. Fingers crossed.
 
Its a fun, but tiring event. Especially ending up at the largest pinball collection in NZ ( 100+ games) There are still games there I haven't played! But its great to meet pinball people from all over the world. Take that lottery ticket just in case! Would be great to meet face to face!
