Only the AP guys we know like Swinksy, Homepin and Retropin were named/singled out and thanked for their efforts cause we dont have any information at all as to who the committe was made up of etc.
Since 9 out of 10 committe members were from another forum, its not like we were going to thank non AP people personally on AP because we dont know who they are. I am sure the other forum would be thanking their people like we thanked ours. Also, thats why a general thanks to the Newcastle Pinball Assosciation was made cause that includes everyone. Perhaps the NPA would encourage/invite more AP people to join the committe and we can get more than 1 person on the team. It all means a bigger n better show for next year.
It is great that the whole show was forum neutral and professionally run. I think the banner thing came as a surprise to some, reading some of the response comments about it. I am sure the mix up wont occur again next year and people from AP will happily fly a flag/banner etc. As long as people dont try to out do each other with forum stuff/advertising, the forum inclusion thing sounds like a great idea.
Looking forward to next years committe make up and ideas. Until then, we will keep dealing with Swinksy and get/give questions to him about the next show if thats OK with Swinksy since he has done a great job keeping us up to date on AP.
