So we all had a BBQ dinner, then we all started playing in the pinball comp.
Overall, there were 18 or more people entered into the pinball comp, with three quarters of the adults having a bash, and 3 or so teenagers, plus a few of the 8 to 12 yr old kids. (next time I will do a few trophys for the kids who had a ball and really enjoyed going for high scores and writing down their best score etc, as did everyone else).
The Pinball Comp part lasted a good hour and a half ! I chose 5 x machines to play in the comp, and chose the machines from Left field so people would probably be playing these machines for the FIRST time, so no-one had an advantage. Even Beaky (Andy) has never really played these titles before, so no "home advantage" was given.

) but It was ruled out very early to make things very fair.
The 5 machines were
