With the last meet going pretty well I figure it's time to start planning the next one.
I've roped Karen in to cooking another batch of potato bake and I can easily burn some more snags for everyone :laugh: the BBQ has survived it's fall and lived to cook another day :blink:
Date: Nov 7
Time: 3pm till late - Same as last time, people didn't arrive till 4pm ish anyway, started leaving about 9pm. Though you don't need to, I was just getting free of kids and ready to rock and roll.
Pins: Theatre Of Magic, Roadshow, Funhouse, Flintstones, Medieval Madness, Party Zone
Food: Slightly burnt snags, Potato bake, salad, maybe some of Woka's moon dip if I can work out the cooking.
BYO grog as I don't really drink. - Though I will have coke, and pepsi max on hand.
Interstate visitors welcome and I am sure we can work something out for sleeping arrangements.
BRING A PIN ALONG - I reckon I could fit another 2 pins in the shed fairly easily so if you have a pin you want to bring along then the more the merrier.

I'd be keen for that Jason although early November would suit me better as I'm getting married in mid October and will be away for a few weeks .
-
I'm thinking early November so you should be fine. Nov 7 is the date I seem to be settling on.
Don't want to leave it too late as you start getting in to the xmas party season.
-
There is no way i will be going if Furball is there...(Jokes)..
I will talk to Wotto and Tony and see if we can get a crew along..
Hey if we have a Comp that would be cool as half of your machines are my old ones...bring it on..lol
-
Would be great to get you guys along to the next one.
Do you want me to put your name down on the list?
-
Put a tick in that little box next to my name please Jason. (I'll bring back the MM that is missing from your garage by then!!!)

Fantastic idea, I'll supply the potato bake, you supply the prawns and lobster ^^^

I love prawns, but peeling them is messy and time consuming. Imagine dead prawn smell on your pins the next day.

Should be a good meet.
I have been working away on the vertical mame cab this week in an effort to get it going for the meet. I yanked out the old Pentium 2 I had in there as it was shitting me trying to get it to see the hard drive I had plugged in. Put my 2.whatever ghz AMD in there now so it is all working fine. Just have to set mame up and Mala on it and it is good to go, oh and work out speakers for it.
So Frogger, galaga, pacman etc will all be there to play.
Pin wise they are all still playing well, the TOM has a switch issue in the lock that causes it to go in to ball search mode every time you get multi ball, I have fixed this already once, so hopefully it is a simple fix again. The other known issue at the moment is with the Party Zone, the coil at the top right that launches the ball vertical into the ramp is a bit sluggish at times, and sometimes takes a few launches to fire the ball hard enough. I'm not sure I will get time to fix this one before the meet. Otherwise all is well.
Food wise it looks like I am locking in the chicken pieces for dinner, plus potato bake and salad.

Thanks for coming everyone, I had a great time.
Big thanks to Dan for bringing along two pins. That Adams is in great nic and the Blackwater sure is different.
No doubt there will be another one but at this stage it will be early next year, getting too close to christmas to hold another one.

What a top bloke "Fair Dinkum Dan" is, I have attended 3X pinball meets and this guy has gone out of his way to bring a couple of pinballs to every meet. There was not one time that they sat there with out someone playing them. And there always great titles Adams family, Twilight Zone, and Blackwater. My advise if your going to have a pinball meet make sure you invite him!
-
Dan is tops, you couldnt meet a more passionate pinhead, and he will go out of his way to assist others. Great meet, Jason we really appreciate the effort!

Looks like a fantastic turnup there Jason - well done *%*
Totally agree with you guys about Dan....would do anything to help....really cool guy ^^^
Can that guy talk :lol :lol
-
I can't believe he went all the way to Goulburn in the morning of the meet just to pick up the adams and drag it all the way to the meet. Dedicated for sure, thanks for going above and beyond Dan.
I'm looking forward to Paul's meet in a few weeks.
-
I agree Dan is a legend, one of the most pasionate pinheads you'll meet, always brings a pin & a few moves as well.

Just realised that I had not thanked Jason and Karen for hosting this meet. Mrs Furbs and I had a great night. Jas, while ever there is space please keep adding me onto the list for your meets mate. You'll both be sick of me in notime! %.%

Nah no need to thank us mate, pleasure is all ours.
Next one will be in late January I think.
