Swavesey 2022 - Second's out - Round 15!

[Pinballsurgery]

Yes despite two years of enforced retirement the summer beckons, new tables need playing and, lets be honest, that beer will not drink itself

After quietly trying to let the damn thing die once again I've been persuaded to run 'this thing of ours' (as we old Modfathers like to call it) by the usual epic folk who always help and assist - you know who you are

All welcome, laid back and friendly, UK Cup on Sunday for those who are into the thrill of the competition, chat, friendship and free advice for those that prefer the sun.

All the details are here (https://sites.google.com/site/swaveseypinball/), get it in the diary now

The Facebook page is here if you click the 'Attending' button: https://www.facebook.com/events/1217764738964327/ that would be grand, and if you don't I'll just get drunk, crank up the music and play pinball on my own.

This year I have another grandchild due the same weekend so this seemed like the best way to upset my entire family and get to wet the babies head with people I actually like

 

[Doggard]

I’ll be along on the Saturday
Do we pay before, or is it on the day ?

 

[David_Vi]

I'll be there, both days!

If you're taking machine donations i'd love to bring Diner (if it works) or something else. If we can get transport that is

Would love to have Diner, never had one of those here so as long as you are happy to bring it that would be awesome

It’s ‘if you feel like it on the day’ there will be a bucket we like folk to chip in but it’s not something we stress about.

B2K or TOM would be my backups if Diner happens to be sad at the time but they're already going
So it'll be Diner with AFM or Zaccaria Locomotion in reserve.

Locomotion!!!

 

[David_Vi]

Locomotion!!!

We're gonna need a bigger van!

 

[Poibug]

Don't forget guys, it's for charity so give generously.
Great, chilled little get together

 

[Sgt GrizZ]

*If* the stars align then Night Moves may return to its spiritual home for the weekend
It’s never quite been the same not having a few beers and busting some moves to the Moves in the bar

 

[C&C]

Hoping to make it to this - never been before, so looking forward to it.
Pinball, people and beer - what's not to like?

@Pinballsurgery - what are the local taxi services like to get back (late) to a hotel in St Ives or Cambridge? The last thing I'll want to be doing is driving!

That would be great, I'll pop that up on the site now.

 

[AndyB]

Will definitely be going this year. So gutted it has been cancelled the last two years. Can't wait

There’s Panther who have an app that shows you where they are line a poor man’s Uber. https://www.panthertaxis.co.uk/

There’s also Village Cars in Swavesey but you need to book 01954 232715

I would suggest finding out where everyone is bunked ups and then sharing a cab as that’s the best cost option

 

[Epotech]

I am at the ramada at the services. I'll likely be driving if a lift back to there is needed.

 

[Diane B]

Looking forward to this! Ramada booked for the Saturday night

 

[Pinballsurgery]

If you would like to book in for the Saturday night meal or a Sunday Roast please tick the appropriate box on the following poll:

It just makes sure that we have enough places for everyone.

 

[Pinballsurgery]

Do the pins need to be gone by the end of Saturday evening or can they stay till Sunday?

 

[Matt Vince]

Traditionally, the pins have been there all weekend and broken down at the end of the comp on Sunday

 

[Pinballsurgery]

As Matt said, we usually break down about 4pm on the Sunday, depending on how long the UK Cup runs for.

Just booked at the Ramada for Friday and Saturday nights.

 

[Matt Vince]

Due to poor communication with Stan, I have spare room for Friday/Saturday night and can't cancel. Anyone looking to book still?
