I guess you could throw some balls in the pool.
Few more people will likely be coming this year, I was doing some volunteering at a session at the RMC Cave at the weekend and was chatting with a few folk there, some whom had pins, and some of whom were Retro computer/console people who like Pinball but no-one I spoke to had any idea there was a Pinball scene in the UK....
Their reaction to finding out about Pinfest was brilliant - 'wait, there's a what!?' followed by when is it
Rest assured they are now fully informed and are looking forward to it.

I now have some flyers! Could you drop me a PM with your address and I'll get them sent out tomorrow?
Anyone else need flyers?
I don't need any but happy to put some out at SWL...

I asked Phil last week mainly due to the Derby retro arcade being the week before so chance to reach new people
Hotel and tickets booked. Never been before, so it will be my first ever pinfest.
Haven't decided if I'll be going by train or driving yet. As far as I can see getting there by train/bus via Rugby is easy on Friday, going back on Sunday I think has to be via Northampton - what is the bus like to there?

Drive, it’s not easy to get to and from via public transport.

drive. Its easier to get into Moscow than it is to take public transport to Daventry.
Its not public transport friendly at all
Google makes planning public transport pretty easy. It's about a 1hr bus journey from Rugby station to the Mercure hotel though:

posters would be better than flyers if you have one we would stick one up at Pinball republic

the Moscow line was a direct quote from my wife who took public transport to get there one year.

Maybe also some flyers/poster at The Pinball Office? I know Chris also gets lots of people coming who are not 'pinball regulars'Deffo send some flyers to the clubs and Chief coffee if they'll be OK with that, so many people who like pinball would be unaware and miss out otherwise
@Hiltoncriss
Of course that I’m up for it.Maybe also some flyers/poster at The Pinball Office? I know Chris also gets lots of people coming who are not 'pinball regulars'
