If you're bringing pins, you're already a VIP and don't have to buy a ticket. You get access to everything.
Just to go over the major points: -
All van costs covered if you're bringing 3+ pins
I'm paying for your hotel room on the Thursday night
Extra ball session on Friday night(Credit to Paul for the naming suggestion)
Saturday session
Extra ball session on Saturday night
Sunday session.
Chill out in the bar with beers on the Sunday evening to wind down and travel back home on the Monday.
Those donating, please PM me with your name, mobile number, email address and number of pins. I know it's too early to name which ones you're bringing.

Can't believe no one has done a search for it on social media yet......

Hey,
Thanks for organising a new event, we really miss Pinball Party so it's great to have something new! I've reserved a room and the hotel said that, "The conference have an agreed rate of £65 single occupancy and £75 double occupancy."

I've got it in the signed contract. It's £65. Screen shot attached.

I emailed the events organiser and she was having a word with reservations so it shouldn't happen again.
Room booked for Friday and Saturday 
. No issues with twin occupancy, £65/night.

not stopping the sunday as well Kev bank holiday monday and all that ?Room booked for Friday and Saturday
Good point, may add that on.
Actually, is there an agreed price for the Sunday night? I'm not seeing it here unless I'm missing it? The website has it listed as £217.
Look forward to this, as long as I'm in a similar position by August next year I'd hope to pledge at least 1 or 2 machines 
Great to have an event back that's nice and close!

Yes I'm sure there is and its the same price - perhaps check with him and take it from there bud

Have you booked for the whole weekend Kev?
I’ll be there with at least one game perhaps a vanload

I'll bring 1 in the car Phil. Does the agreed room rate stretch to Sunday night?
OP

Pretty sure it does. I'll double check with the events manager.
Yep, staying over Sunday sounds like a good idea.
let us know Phil about the sunday I'm sure you did check this before, but I will wait until I hear from you before I book
cheers

What's the cancellation policy?
It's really too early for me to commit - usually away all of August, but if I'm in country It could happen

What about the Thursday rate ? Taking HM to Bletchley Park is the deal breaker for me !
Edit: Going to fit Bletchley in from Friday till Monday. Rang the hotel and they can only accept bookings that far ahead on dayshift. Are platinum Pinfest tickets still available ?

Thursday is £55
How have I only just seen this?! Loved the last two Daventry shows, I'll definitely be coming to this one.
Very tempted, might try get the missus to go and stay Saturday night.....
So it would be £75.00 B&B for both of us and 2 x £18.00 day passes? More importantly Ale priced at £3.50.
