I hope this event grows and grows, if it includes an auction then so be it- its ALL about pinball and getting new interest.

I had a blast …….and tell me who DIDN’T come away from there last week wanting another pinball machine – and THAT’S what its all about.

Totally agree with you Wotto.

I only went on the Saturday and absolutely loved it. I thought the range of pinballs there was excellent - from brand spanking new Sterns down to some fairly rough old machines but I loved that too. I get a kick out of seeing an old machine that's obviously been played a lot - it's history in the flesh and it reminds me of the machines I played as a kid - none of them were ever in new condition. And being able to play a brand new Stern was sensational - I just don't see any of these new machines sited anywhere.

I left the Petersham Town Hall with a big grin - I felt like I was a kid again that afternoon, being in a room with so many pinballs and everyone having so much fun.

Can't wait for next year's event!  $#$
