Do it, but with pony tails and a yellow hat, you risk being mistaken for chris poibug, the original yellow hatted one.So it being my pinball aniversary last week, the lady bought me two hard hats
Had some friends over yesterday and got into the spirit of my favourite pin...

Wondering if I should stay in character for Pinfest? Would it help people identify me for a pint (and nothing more!) or to avoid me?
Maybe I'll get the wrong type of attention?
Depends how short he is and if he’s throwing beer all over the floor

As long as you everyone puts as much effort into showering and bathing and splashing on deodorant!

Would that be a good or bad thing?
I'm 6'4, so rather tall and I don't think I like the idea of being responsible for people's beer like that
Did @Poibug have to buy a new round after that?

That's it. I'm ditching the website and all social media.....
Yes, you can pay cash over the weekend and it's £20 for Sunday

You should be able to play the charity machines near the bar area before the event starts.
Hopefully, we can sort your wristbands from around 4pm/5pm

Late to the party..... assuming the hotel is fully booked? 
Think Hollie has had enough, unobtainable.

Silly question here but is there people selling pinball parts etc at the show or is it just pinball machines set up sorry first time there
Theres around 14 for sale this year. I believe they're listed in the machine donation thread.
Also some spare parts about as far as I know
Followed by a 2 hour wait for the doors to open at 7pm! Unsure of exact arrival time but hoping to arrive between 5 and 6pm with a view to heading off for some food!
Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Andy @pinballmania has already posted that you can buy from his website to collect at the show.
He usually also has a stock of "standard" items with him as well for purchase.
There's no such thing as a silly question - unless it's asking if you can buy tickets on the door
This is exactly my plan, take some £1 coins and play the ones in the bar (hopefully they’ll be up early enough) over a beer, or two, or three

Unfortunately - and even MORE so with covid frankly if I ran the place and someone turned up smelly and clearly not clean they wouldn’t be allowed in.
We had someone in the club who absolutely reeked last weekend - you could actually smell them before they arrived. They got a steered as above. In my view is more not acceptable to put up with it, and I will have my book:
So Wash you smelly b’stards! Not funny serious.
Every one should also do a lateral flow test before coming. I will be.
Cheers,
Neil.

Just going to say that again:
EVERYONE SHOULD DO A LATERAL FLOW TEST BEFORE THEY COME TO UKPINFEST

I did an LFT on Thursday, no symptoms before the test but came up positive! PCR confirmed it. Last day of isolating will be the end of Sunday (the final day of pinfest! Doh). Massively disappointing to now be missing Pinfest as a result. Fortunately by spotting it early, it looks like i have managed to not infect anyone else, even in my household. So definitely worth doing the tests if you have no symptoms.

Steven sad to hear that but in my book you just earned Hero of UKPinfest award if such a thing existed! Hoping you have a speedy recovery.
Anyone missing UKPinfest because of covid are cordially invited to come to DOMINO Arcade and or Flip Out when they recover (I will pick up you flip out admission fee) - it won’t be UKPinfest but you can play some great games and I’ll tell you all the gossip from the show [emoji28] including how many beers got spilt. PM me.

Just to pick up on Neil's comments.....
If you have covid symptoms, please do not attend the event. You should follow government advice. Don't worry about losing money. You will get a full refund. There'll be plenty more shows. Yours and everyone else's safety is more important.
If you have the ability to carry out a lateral flow test before the event, please do so. We'll have some at the event which you're quite welcome to use before entry. The test only takes a few minutes.
Wash your hands regularly.
Use sanitiser and wipes regularly at the event.
Staff will be assisting in sanitising.
Hygiene
This is a very personal and sensitive topic. If anyone is found to have overbearing body odour which is making others feel uncomfortable, a member of staff will approach you in a discreet manner and have a private chat with you to discuss the issue. You may be asked to leave and a full refund given.
No one will be publicly humiliated and there will be no naming and shaming. This is bullying.
