We had a nice trip down to Ramsgate and the pinball parlour a few years ago for someone's birthday, @replicas or was it Mark? They had some cool games, first time I played an Orbiter 1, this cool EM basketball game, Underwater by Recel and the mighty Frontier by Bally

No I don't think so. It moved to Dreamland Arcade when that reopened but then that closed down again so I don't think they have any premises that are open to the public at the moment

Ah that's a shame, looked as if they had some pretty nice wedge heads there too

Yeah, Marks 50th, that was a great weekend.
Remember the pub with the knitted door handle and all the tables and chairs had knitted legs. On the Sunday there was a old guy playing old 78's on a 50's record player. There was a jumble sale going on as well in the pub.
We need more jolly boys outting.

 

[Wizcat]

Totally hijacking the thread now with more Ramsgate memories

Jumble sale pub

Best game of the weekend in my opinion

Here's the pub DJ, playing records on his ship. Totally normal

I bought my CV from him years ago, after the pins went to the reopened dream land Im sure he moved them to a semi permanent pop up style shop on near the sea front. This was as recently as last year im sure.
