Here's a rundown of what to expect: -

Main Competition - Held over Saturday and Sunday daytime sessions - Paid entry (Neil McRae's Domino organisation will be donating £1 for every game played in the main comp to the National Autistic Society)

Classics Competition - Held over Saturday and Sunday daytime sessions - Paid entry

NBA Challenge - Held over Saturday and Sunday daytime sessions - Organised and run by Northern Lights Pinball and Scottish Pinball - Paid entry

Stall Ball - Held on Friday and Saturday evening session - Free entry

Best in Show - There will be an award for the best pinball machine in the show sponsored by Scottish Pinball. Obvs Rocky & Bull**** will win!

In the bar area, we'll have The Mandalorian Pro, The Mandalorian Premium, TMNT and AvengersIQ on pay per play for charity

A high score competition will be run in conjunction with the pay per play machines. Trophies for aldult and junior high scores. Sponsored by NLP

Scorebit on a lot of machines where Neil is giving away prizes for highest scores.

Oh, I almost forgot, around 100 pinball machine set to free play to play!

As usual, the hotel will set up a snack area near reception. This sells hot and cold food as well as drinks. Kinda like a mini fast food outlet. Saves you having to pay the restaurant prices.

The bar in the main room will be open till 12:30am on Friday evening. Guess we may extend the opening hours. I think you'll have to buy the staff a drink to persuade them to continue working that long!

The bar in the main room will be open till 12:00am on Saturday evening. Another long day?

The hotel bar will be serving till the early hours.(Please remember tips for the minimum wage staff working tirelessly at 2am getting you trolleyed!)

There are separate wrist bands for each session. This saves you from wearing them to bed and showering with them on.

I think that's about everything!

What's the food like at hotel and in the local area? Any hot tips?

I'd try it out once or twice but I guess the hotel restaurant is probably expensive compared to venturing out.

Breakfast is a given though!
 
The little fast food setup they have is ok. Curry with rice. Burger and chips. Sandwiches. Pop. That sort of thing.

There's a small pub that's a short walk away with a few shops around it for cheap & cheerful bar food, or a bigger food pub a slightly longer walk in the other direction past the fishing pond & onto the housing estate (but I know some drove to it).
