Just a few things after reading the banter of people that were not involved, and privy to the background organisation. Pinfest is forum neutral, representatives of both forums, and all sponsors were made aware that Pinfest volunteers would hang any banners, and hand-out any promo gear. AA just happened to have a banner/promo stuff, and AP had keyrings, plus both forums given free sponsorship in the booklet. We couldnt have been more fair in this.
It is remiss for people to single-out/name individuals, and attribute much of the succcess to them. Pinfest was a team effort, and just a handful of people could never pull-off an event of this magnitude.
The Newcastle Pinball Association welcomes you guys next year, and know that Nino will be bringing some of his awesome resto's along for everyone to enjoy, plus I expect a huge-arse banner!
