Theres nothing on the Facebook page apart from a date confirmation. Your not going to get general chit chat speculation and discussion from the organisers as they dont frequent this forum unless to chastise.
What do you need to know?? It will happen on the dates provided and it will feature pinballs to play.. is there anything else?

I think that comment is a bit harsh Gav and it's comments like that which will quickly start uneccessary debates ...

Thanks for the update Scott.

Gav's was a pretty accurate comment, but I very much admire him for his retraction.

Let's keep this thread clear of too much commentary on some  of the past behaviors and concentrate on keeping things positive.

No probs re the comment Gav . I didn't take it personally but others may . Just thought it best to keep any unneccessary comments out of the thread .

Thanks for posting the flyer blue95 . I think we still have to finalise the details on it as far as sponsors etc. go but people can get the general idea of what it will look like .

One feature that people may notice that is different from last year is we are doing 2 timed play sessions per day .

Saturday 21st -   9am - 1pm   ,  2pm - 6pm .

Sunday 22nd -  9am - 12pm , 1pm - 4pm .


The cover charge will be $10 for a single session  or $15 for an all-day pass ( ie. both sessions ) .


The 1 hour shut down between sessions will give us time to attend to any small issues that may arise with the machines that were near impossible to attend to last year with so many people packed into the venue  .

The only way you will get the punters out at break time will be to warn 5 minutes ahead then switch off the power to the machines like we had to do last year 'cause they just won't stop playing them otherwise.

I'm spewing I'll be on the Gold Coast that weekend as I really wanted to go :-( but glad AP has a info thread and that will make it a top event for all.

So far the flyer is pretty much all the info we came up with at the first meeting last night, it's just a start to get the info out there.
