Swavesey 2022 - Second's out - Round 15!

[Ashbo]

Ok, so stranger things done last night (seriously Netflix, sort out your diary!). Now free to play some pinball today and tomorrow !!!! Yey!!!

Right after a quick pitstop at Herbie's with miserable hungry girls, should be able to return and leave them sleeping in the beer garden.

@Dr. Pinball loving the Black Pyramid

There are tricks??????

On my bk2k the vuk from the spin shoots hard and hits upper flipper so you can do a sortof mid air live catch and bat the ball into the lock. It feels like magic.

David has tricks?

I'm a pro me!
You'd know if you ventured south since your victory

I paid a flying visit but it was great to catch up with those chilling out at the most relaxed pinball show.
I bought raffle tickets and won’t be about for the raffle. Can I give my tickets to someone digitally to someone else to choose? Unlikely, I have never won a raffle prize in my life.

A couple of quick pictures!! Great day guys can't wait till next time

 

[Ashbo]

The moment when you get shown how to play your own machine .... Wow!!! Another level @Matt Vince

 

[kevlar]

Just got back from a brilliant weekend (and dropped Gary off at a suitable tube station)!!

Really enjoyed it - what a great venue, lots of fun, and a wonderful bunch of people.

Thanks Mark, for organising it, and to everyone else for making it a weekend to remember.

Can't wait for next year.

 

[Gary Flower]

Thanks for the ride. Been through Wadhurst, contacted Brad. ETA 9.45.

Great weekend with great people. Good to see old friends and make new ones. Looking forward to next year's meet.

 

[Dr. Pinball]

Another great Swavesey show, really terrific to get together after a two year gap. Best of all we raised over £1300 for the UKPIPS charity.

A great weekend to catch up with people, and to play a bit of pinball. Unfortunately a truly dismal showing by myself in the tourney on Sunday, but had great fun anyway.
Some awesome machines and awesome people.
Did someone say twice a year???

Thanks for a top weekend, great fun meeting old and new friends alike.

No they bloody didn’t

 

[Ashbo]

No they bloody didn’t

I'm sure it was shouted from the stalls during your closing speech....

 

[thelab]

I heard it too. I also know who said it.

The crowd went wild.

Absolute scenes.

 

[Epotech]

No they bloody didn’t

It would have to take place in an old folks home with an on site chiropractor. One is deffo enough.

 

[thelab]

Agreed, once a year makes it extra special

 

[thelab]

Besides, wouldn't really be fair on Nick after that epic win!

 

[Dr. Pinball]

Once a global pandemic it is then

Waiting for comp and practising at Swavesey

 

[ailsaclunie]

Got my best score on Monster bash - brilliant fun machine - as you can see / I am dead chuffed to have beaten two known to be much better players - not shaming them

 

[Pinballsurgery]

That's definitely not Matt Vince!

No that's Vin

 

[Judderman]

Was a great weekend, my first Swavesey. Thanks to all the organisers, machine donors & everyone else for a superb time. Just checked my bank statement, though - ouch!

 

[Wizcat]

Just checked my bank statement, though - ouch!

I'm not even looking

 

[Epotech]

I'm not even looking

Mine seems OK...

The (high resolution) photos I took over the weekend are now all on my FlickR album. Feel free to download any that you want, and Mark/Martin, happy for you to use any if you want them for future publicity etc..

Either of the following 2 links should work (some people seem to have had issues with one or the other in the past):

Below are a selection of a few of them (in lower resolution).

Thanks again for a great weekend!
