. Another reason to come along - but I'm glad @Big Phil doesn't have a louder PA 
What about me , oh Liz.... after thinking about it I'd like to retract my comment (been together 30 years, I know my place
)
Looking at the photos - there isn't enough space for Baby Pacman
And no sign of me - did I say it way all about me? Great to see the competition winners!!!!!!! Well done all!!!!!!! It was also great not to try and fit the pinball back in @kevlar 's car - thank mate
Liz and I thought it was amazing to see some good friends at the weekend that we haven't seen for a couple of years - our load out plan wasn't as slick (at some small times) as it has been in previous years but I think those that were there know why (but those that were there at the time also saw us play on the fly and get the job done). Great event, great people, great atmosphere and I didn't get a chance to play any of the competition machines (either competition) as I only managed a few games on the other machines. Chris (the new guy helping @Big Phil out this weekend this year but has done a number of years at NERG) managed to beat me on pretty much every machine - but as I drove him down and back he had to be nice to me
Here's to next year - I think the venue has changed hands but kept the same name etc as there were a lot of subtle things that changed between this event and the last one (beyond the 'refurb' of the gym/pool). I second @ailsaclunie in that the duty manager (whose name escapes me - Craig?) was amazing - he is the reason why the bar was open at 2am on Friday and Saturday when in previous years it closed far earlier and he went way above and beyond to make our event even more special.
@Wayne J and the other guys (whose names here I don't know) made the competitions what they are - not forgetting to mention the Scottish Pinball folks (Colin, Ailsa, Chris and Trac[e]y) for running the NBA and kids NBA events (if we had the space I'm sure Liz and I would be willing to house one of your machines - however the travel to fix it would be a bit much
We don't have any pinballs, and we don't care as out combined love of making stuff better is enough - however, if you should have a pinball you want to loan us I'm sure our grand-daughter would love it
Totally fine - after the work I put in I was humming so much I was actually singing the tune
so showered and got new clothes
Erm..... No ta, and I thought you'd sold it too - and BTW my electronics knowledge is zero (Physics more than that, but not much)
Were you missing a Liz?
Nee bosh - we both work in the background, and have no qualms. We have memories, best ever xx
Thanks John, you were as friendly and helpful as always, I couldn't believe you had my machine up in the time we checked in, including putting the head back on!. I was also very happy not be be squeezing it back into the car. Thanks to the other helpful guy with you, the one with the headphones, was his name Frigg or something like that?And no sign of me - did I say it way all about me?

Wasn't just me mate - the team were immense -= PinFest is a team thingThanks John, you were as friendly and helpful as always, I couldn't believe you had my machine up in the time we checked in, including putting the head back on!.

Not sure Dan Fligg is on here -
I think we need a time lapse video for the setup and break down like weve had for NERG
We could move the league start and finish dates so it starts in Sept and finishes in March or something, then this event could be May bank hol and still have league finals.
