Hi all,
Some of you may have seen on The Pinball Office Facebook page - but for those of you who haven't - from the end of July The Pinball Office will be downsizing to just one room and 20 pins. Unfortunately visitor numbers this year have dropped significantly, with many sessions having less than 10 people attending and it's just not sustainable.
This means that the arcade cabs will be going, as well as the coffee machine (and possibly the drinks fridge), though there are several coffee shops in the area you can visit.
Due to the reduced room size, the session cap will be 15-18 people, and pricing will drop to £12.50 per session for all.
This also means there will not be future tournaments at the Office - it's just not feasible with such low numbers.
I'd like to say a big thank you to Chris @Hiltoncriss for keeping the Office open with 2 (and for a while, 3!) rooms for so long. It has introduced so many people to the hobby, at great personal cost to himself - and he is still paying out of his own pocket to just keep this one room open. It's been a key part of the East Anglia pinball scene - without it, I would probably never have met our lovely East Anglian crew and made such a wonderful group of friends. It has really been such a privilege and we've been so lucky to have such a wonderful venue.
With the last ever Swavesey event this weekend as well as the closure of Tilt, this is a really tough time for UK pinball. Please support your local clubs and onsite pinball machines - Medway, Pinball Republic, Special When Lit, Chief Coffee, Level in Preston, and the potential Blackpool club - and of course even though there will be just 1 room, please do pop in and support The Pinball Office when you can. ❤
Both rooms will still be open until 19th/20th July, so you still have time to visit the current iteration before it changes - visit The Pinball Office website to book (it's open on weekends only).
