I have added apx 20 photos of the pinball comp/meet we had tonight.  

First of all, I would like to say a massive THANKYOU to all the TERRIFFIC people who were able to come tonight.  

 I got to meet about 20 plus NEW people I havent met before tonight and it was an absolute honour having so many people turn up. I counted apx 22 adults, apx 12 teenagers, and apx 12 or more younger kids at the half way mark. Probably 90 percent of people were able to stay to the very end of the night when the WINNERS of the Pinball Comp were announced. So we had a full house with around 40 plus people with the pinball meet at full swing !  A huge success.  

I started taking photos about 20 percent of the way into the night, and probably only took a quarter of the photos I shld have taken but I was flat out trying to look after all the guests, cook a BBQ, organise drinks and help people with info about machines etc etc plus 10 other things. I was as busy as an Octopus with 20 arms. But it was great.

Beaky(Andy) was my ever terriffic pinball tech all night, making sure all machines were running flatout, and helping with any stuck balls etc, whilst enjoying quite a few bourbans, playing in the comp and meeting all the great people. Andy is a true champion and the best mate u could ever hope for. My good friend Martyn was also a great help, who is always A top mate. Another top friend Leon(V8racefan) was also alot of fun, and was flatout enjoying the night and the pinnys. I know I cant mention everyone, but it was good to have old n new friends all meet and talk etc.

I was lucky tonight to have met some other members for the first time. Deadly Dave, Red Scorpion [pete and his teenage son), Steevesee-Steve and his great family (Wizo) and his family, and I know I am definately forgetting people cause I didnt take enough photos.   But i think i met 4 or 5 new AP members, well new to my house anyway, with most being on the AP forum for some time. Some post more than others etc, but great to meet new AP members.
