Huge thank you to Mark for organising this event yet again, which is one of the highlights of the pinball calendar for all those who attend. And thanks too to all the folks who take tables along for making it possible.:thumbs::clap:🍻
 
Cheers all - too many people to mention so I’ll keep it down to just the three...

@pinballtoys for bringing my BOP and being great company

@robotgreg for being like Yoda and going through rules and games with me showing me how to play them

Of course @Poibug for his motivational speech and general heckling...

Think FA cup, that's what it is

This must be the best description as this year Accrington Stanley managed to win it...

Alot of you don't know Nigel Hill. He was a great pinhead, and an awesome guy.
An asset to the pinball community and the world as a whole.
Passed away waaay to soon, but thru little things like this, he is not forgotten.
I am sure he would smile at a relative newby tourney pinhead winning his cup.Well done @James
 
As usual a fantastic social weekend, great.
Good to see old friends, and great to speak to some new faces.
Ta to all machine pledgers,prize givers, raffle ticket buyers, Martin for the tourney and especially Gary for all the hard work selling tickets and Mark for organising it.
Last call I think it was 800 odd quid raised which is great.
Hope even more come to enjoy this event next year and we raise even more.
Ya never know we may even get the landlord to smile 😀

He’s a massive Ipswich Town fan... massive. So as a Norwich City season ticket holder and fan (we won promotion this year, they were relegated) I did delight in shaking his hand and reminding him it was another trophy heading to Norwich this season...

Think I may have got a wry smile :p

Nigel was an awesome guy - Really friendly and would help anyone out. As Poi says - Taken from us too soon.
I recon Nigel would be more than happy that someone relatively new to pinball won - he was a great ambassador for the hobby and loved it when people got interested in it.
 
An awesome weekend of pinball and socialising as ever. Glad I didn't decide to turn round and go back home after nightmare traffic which had considered doing when didn't move for an hour in a housing estate when i thought I was taking a short cut! Still was worth the 6 and half hour journey there. Thankfully took a better route back and was only 4 or so hours.

Glad to have helped out although did have a funny feeling earlier in the day that you'd knock me out! Delighted for you to win and couldn't have gone to a nicer guy. Certainly added to the whole experience hanging out this morning.

Also very well done to Bob, a worthy finalist and would have been equally amazing if he had won too.

if anyone's not been to Swavesey before then for a fun chilled weekend of pinball and chat you can't beat it. Thanks to all who made it happen.
