[Geek4Pins]

See you all there

So psyched!

 

[Alan Syson]

Should have replied I prefer Brian Protheroe‘s “Pinball”.

 

[Big Phil]

112 pins here already and it’s only Thursday! This is insane!

 

[Mistymoo96]

Not long to go now!

Any top tips for a newbie to all this?

Just play pinball to an inch of your life and enjoy .

 

[Judderman]

The hotel are turning off the parking cameras from tomorrow so no need to register your vehicles

Sweeeeeeet!

 

[SpiderPin]

Well done Nathan

Sad they didn't touch on the pedestrianisation of Norwich city centre...

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.

Geoff the ref - we love you

Hundreds take part in Pinfest event in Daventry - BBC News

The competition is having a surge of interest and some are suggesting it could be an Olympic sport.

www.bbc.co.uk

Who is declaring it a Olympic sport?

 

[Big Phil]

A loaded question from the reporter. “Should pinball be in the Olympics?”

 

[s000m]

This has to be my favourite show so far. Really enjoyed the David Fix presentation.

Definitely a good idea to do more of this moving forward.

 

[Bulla]

Had a fantastic day yesterday, thanks to @Big Phil and all the organising team and of course everyone who generously donated their machines. Looking forward to next year already.

 

[Tidy Technician]

Hi All,

So I didn't buy a ticket for this years event as I was expecting to not be available …. I am now available for the rest of the day today

Can I turn up and buy a ticket on the door, or are all the tickets sold out ?

 

[windoesnot]

Turn up, you’ll be fine

 

[Tidy Technician]

Turn up, you’ll be fine

Cheers, I'll head on over
