No freaking way
No pinfest people are okay - just request a pool psss at front reception and present at pool and spa reception . Dan Fligg got it sorted .

Yeah disaster averted! I like a dip
I was always told a psss in the pool was poor form
Bit of a pre-Pinfest warmup stream of anyone fancies... http://www.pinball.live
Enjoy yourself, don’t me shy and talk to people, try at least 1 of the competitions out and remember that Big Phil is NOT Pinball Heaven Phil

Yeah. I’m not as happy as him.Enjoy yourself, don’t me shy and talk to people, try at least 1 of the competitions out and remember that Big Phil is NOT Pinball Heaven Phil
Do what @windoesnot said. Definitely enter one of the comps or both it doesn't take time and it's great to dip your foot in and see how you do
Also if more than one person is waiting for a game you can ask if they'd like to play a multiplayer game.
Try not to hog machines if people are waiting

No need to be nervous - everyone is friendly, happy to share knowledge, a beer...
Have a go at the tourny, doesn't matter if you are rubbish, you'll probably be above me
First year I went (2019), I tried to get my "money's worth" from the ticket. I think each year I've played less pinball and spent more time with new found friends.
Come say hello if you see me I'm the 6'4" guy with a Pinballama t-shirt on.
Oh - deoderant.

Vin - more scores, less voids this year, ok? And I owe you a beer from last year
Haha! OK deal!Vin - more scores, less voids this year, ok? And I owe you a beer from last year
So forgive me if I have missed this if its been already covered, is there a rundown somewhere of the competitions that are going on and when. I will be there from Friday night to Sunday AM. Would like to enter a short comp if possible.
Thanks @Martywolfman 
I might be biase but the NBA tournament is a great one for old and new to the hobby. Even if you know the machine, you rarely ever get to play it connected to a second one and go head to head. Next, each year they score slightly differently and everyone has to learn what is the big scoring part this time.
Finally, it is run by some lovely people, who will help you feel at home. Then there is me, who will be dressed as a referee and will shout abuse at you, if you ask nicely.

If you are missing anyone (someone doesnt turn up etc) then please let me know.... I'd be happy to loose again for the "goodnessknowshowmany" years running
Did anyone happen to catch East Anglian news tonight? They did a 5 minute bit on it. A couple of familiar faces in there too.
Well done Nathan

The hotel are turning off the parking cameras from tomorrow so no need to register your vehicles
Nice to bump into you tonight Nathaniel, glad to hear you sorted out your transportHi all, does anyone have a space in a car to pinfest from Bristol?
Hi all,
In a bizarre turn of events I have been asked to appear on BBC Radio Suffolk tomorrow morning to chat pinball on the breakfast show with Wayne Bavin. Assuming there isn't any sudden national news that trumps me, I should be on somewhere between 7.30 and 8.00am and it'll be available online after too.
Will be talking the hobby in general, inaugural East Anglian league and Pinfest if you are able to tune in please do. Will try and mention as many venues and events as my little slot will allow!
(I'm as surprised as you are )
