Aussie Pinball will be sharing a stall with the Coconut Island team at the upcoming Expo ^^^
We proudly support the Coconut Island project and we are home to the Official CI Forum, so it makes sense that we are represented at Expo together.
We will need attending members to "man" our Stall from time to time to assist Nick and Nug when they need a break. So if you are attending Expo, and you can help us out, please give us a commitment of your time - maybe an hour or so to help out to give the guys a break. You will be representing the site, and maybe answering some questions, handing out flyers, selling a T-Shirt or two !
The organizers at Expo have been supportive of AP, so lets return the goodwill.
If there is enough interest, we can simply create a short roster.

Nino,
Count me in for Saturday afternoon

Guess that means Coconut Island needs to be seen in the morning people, before someone breaks it... !*!
-
Yeah you better bring some extra playfield glasses :lol
-
You better not bring your dishwasher! :)

Nino,
Count me in for Saturday afternoon
Thanks, Tony !
-

I'm planning to come on Saturday from opening (9am) to about lunchtime, then I will come back for the dinner.
I'm happy to do some time on the AP stall if needed.
If I'm still needing an expo fix, I'll call in on Sunday if Mrs Bossninja lets me out.

Had a good long chat with Michael Shalhoub today - we are hoping to have the AP/C. Island stall then Gav and Michael's all side by side

That's what I was hoping for, Tony. That way, we can help each other out. Great news !

Guys (and Peach %$%),
Look this is not my original post but to be honest I'm pretty disappointed at the lack of replies on this post.
A PINBALL Expo for f*cks sake and there has been little interest from the 200+ members here to promote this site. Come on guys please put your hand up and come and help at the stall - even if you have to been seen in public with Nick :lol :lol
This is the best chance we have had to get the word out there to promote this wonderful forum.
To be honest I can't wait to get on the stall to promote Aussie Pinball and talk pinball with others ^^^
What is one hour out of your day? Rian who is running/organising Expo has really looked after AP - we need to put something back!!!!
There is only 13 days to Expo.............
So who else is in? !@#
-
Unfortunately I will not be able to get up to the expo.
maybe next year
If I was going i would definitely help out on the stall.
Hope all who attends has a great time
-
If you are desperate for help put me down for a morning and afternoon hour on the Saturday, and a morning hour on the Sunday.
-
Sorry Tony if i had the chance to get up there id man the stall all day to help out but sadly i couldnt get the time off and im bloody spewing
-
Nino/Tony,
Happy to help when needed. Will be there for both days.
Thanks Mark
-
Thanks Mark and to all those that can help.
As we get closer, we will have a chat with the Coconut Island gang and see what times they will need to be covered for.
-
Due to work commitments it doesnt look like I will be attending !!!
Please lets see lots of photos

As per the other Expo link - Rian confirmed today that the Aussie Pinball/Retropin and Pinball Compendium stalls will be side by side.
Last call for tickets for the dinner - get them by Friday or miss out &^&

Aussie Pinball/Coconut Island/Flipper Rescue/Pinball Compendium
How about that !
-
Worth going just for that don't you think?
-
Yeah, I reckon I might need to make a purchase on those pinball compendium books.
-
I have some color AP flyers ready for Expo - But I'm really going to have trouble printing and shipping them by next week.
Can a Melbourne based member driving / flying up PM me if they can deliver to Expo ?
-
Yeah mate, should be OK - PM me if you want me to take them.

For those that are able to volunteer their time to help out on our stall - could you organize your time with Nick, Nug, Tony or Andrew upon arrival. These guys are going to need breaks !
Gavin might need a break on his stall - which will be near ours, so make sure you catch up with him as well !
Make sure you check out the Aussie Pinball and Coconut Island banners !
-
Nino,
I will be there around 9am and happy to man the station for long as needed.
As mentioned to you in an email this morning I have been asked to give a talk at Expo :lol :lol and this gives us the perfect chance to spread the word *%*
-
I will be checking in around 11 am. $#$

That would be good! If a few people could keep an eye on my stall for some of the time id be more than grateful - after all- id like to take a walk around with the kids and play some machines as well.
Im not selling anything at Expo - just showcasing and talking general crap - hopefully my stall will be self explanatory.... oh forgot - i am selling a couple of neon games room signs.... if they get there in one piece that is.
And if i cant get away from my stall - then please be kind and feed beer regularly
-
Gav,
Happy to watch your's and ap's stall to give you guys a break tomorrow. Will check in with you when I arrive and get some times from you.
Tony

A Big "Thank You" to the members that assisted on our Stall for the weekend ;
Ajlaird - Spend most of his time behind the stall
Millsy
Felixthadog
Tonyt
Of course Pinnies4me and Nug
If I have missed anyone that helped out, can someone please "dob them in" *%*
Without you guys, we would not have had a stand !
Other stall holders such as Flipper Rescue and Micheal Shalhoub helped us out by watching over the stall and Micheal was caught several times handing out our flyers and "talking us up"
speaking of which - There's a few other people that need some recognition here %$%
Illawarra Steelers - GREAT Speech on Saturday Night promoting the hobby and the "Official" AP Photographer !
The Aussie Pinball Banner art was completed by WOTTO (resident artist and all round top bloke)
The Coconut Island Banner was created by SPACIES, and the AP URL was added by WOTTO
Both Banners were printed and manufactured by RETROPIN
Finally, the banners were donated by RETROPIN to the Coconut Island Team and to Aussie Pinball for future events
Big thanks to all

Thanks Kev - I've added Tonyt to the Honor Board !

On Saturday Andrew and Kev where there for a large part of the day.....

Nug and I are a bit neglectful in not thanking Retropin for the banner. In all the rush I had forgotten just how it came about, and when (I think Andrew) told me it was there, I pretty much just said great and stuck it up. Then spent the whole time doing what we had to do, and didn't think much more about it, except for admiring it over and over again.
Anyway, a huge thank you Gav, the banner was absolutely fantastic, and greatly appreciated. Thank you too to Wotto for adding the URL - I sort of tried but made a fist of it, and Wotto despite being really busy used his talents to add it in and it worked very well.
And reiterating Nino's thanks for all the guys that helped out on the AP stand, really appreciated, it let Nug and I get around and play some games, and showcase CI to people and handle their questions. And while I hate singling anyone out, all that helped will know how much time Andrew (Ajlaird) put in on the stand, so I will single him out - and it was great to meet you mate, you were terrific company!
What a weekend!

What a great bunch of Blokes you all are for donating time and effort to a great cause. Hopefully next year i can be there to help out
