Good effort Rollerball.

I think i have changed your name to 'meet man' aka 'forever changing line up'....  :lol :lol :lol

And as a slogan for your meets.... "you'll never know what you'll play"

Seriously though well done and definitely an asset to the community.

I'd love to do a road trip down to Paul's place Greg .. Will have to double check the date if I can make it or not ( isn't the 29th also when Jason on the Central Coast is having his meet ??) .

Paul if you could pencil me in with the "Newy Nutcase Crew"  ..  %.%

No disrespect to the Central Coast meet but you can't beat a Rollerball meet - coolest pins (well even though there are still no EMs  #@#) and the coolest crowd  :D

Even the coolest pizzas  ^^^

A meet where you have to be there to be seen  *)*

Another EXCELLENT night and a mega HUGE thanks goes out to Mr and Mrs Rollerball for allowing us to invade their place.

Photos will sum up the events better, just a few points of interest.

Alot of the regulars couldn't make it and some new and old faces were present.

New pins such as Playboy really got a major workout

Mark C and Child Amusements - what an amazing amount of top shelf prizes donated to the event - thanks Mark  ^^^

Great Video, great pictures and Paul - You easily have the best "meet" in the country !

Good see the faces that are behind the screen names

I think you need to add an EM to your collection, Paul - maybe a 4 player - and hold a comp on that !

Thanks to PinballHQ for the lift up and back as well.
Nice to meet Evro and good to see U back here - your photo / video skills are terrific.

* I did (assist) in breaking the Flash
* I was SHAMED in the comp  - SHAMED !@)
* The Pizza was, as usual - perfect
* I ate too many lollies.
* I did not play Knights PZ.
* I have no idea what was going on with my head in that photo Tony.
* I did miss kicking Furballs ar$e on any machine I normally play against him when he attends these nights %$%
* Mark C's prize donations were extremely genourous to say the least.
* I did steal 2 red flipper buttons from Pauls 'stash'  :lol :lol

RB pinball meets are great nites. Classic line-up of pins, lotsa love for HH now because RB's plays sweet-as (kicks my ass though). Thanks to the hosts, the RB family live and breath pinball, and thats pretty awesome really. You couldnt share a game with a better bunch of guys, and I am sure we will enjoy this great hobby together for many years to come.  #*#

Correction, had your name in the high scores  && I had to set it to factory defaults so I could post my high scores here #@!

Sounds like it was a great night.

What a Night!
Thanks again to Paul & Louise for hosting another great Night. #*#
Thanks for the chance to play so many cool pins that I used to play when I was younger.
I think I mentioned on the night "that it was like being a teenager again", playing those classics like Playboy,
Haunted House, Black Hole, Kiss, Flash, Firepower, Genie, etc, etc.
Thanks as well to Mark C for the supplying the prizes & to Paul for making those trophies too.
(the silver one does looks great next to the Stern Stingray trophy from your 2nd meet )  <.>
It was great to catch up with some familiar faces & meet some new ones as well.
If you haven't been to one of RB's meets yet ,you've missed out on a great night. Well worth the drive.
Us Newy guy's will we back, for sure.
Thanks again, Steve.

Steve failed to mention that he broke more games on the night than I did  :lol :lol

I think he felt so much like a teenager again on Saturday that he was trying to rack up free credits with a gas ignition gun  *)*
