You're going to need a bigger boat.

Great weekend, great venue, great people, great lineup. Nice to know it'll happen again next year.
Carolyn and I scored a beautiful room at the resort and so had a very relaxed evening.
I spent the entire evening bullshitting with all sorts of people, and played till my hands went numb.

Whilst we enjoyed the new stuff, we spent most of the night over the other side.  Master Stroke was a treat, Bank a Ball ,2001 and Capersville are exquisite restos, Mustang took most of my time. Countdown had me giggling all night with the space tiger (you had to be there)  and the Bobby Orr Bally felt straight out of the crate.

I ended up buying Big Casino tonight via SMS as it is a July 1961 just like me (and it's former owner  Mark) -it will need a tidy up and a fettle but is a sweet little table with a lot of the hard work done (as well as a couple of funny little homebrew mods).

Hats off to everyone involved. Everyone was accessable, happy to yarn, welcoming and committed to making the weekend a success.
