Email sent, Nic. Glad to see you here !


Thanks to all for your kindness. Just an amazing response, towards an amazing individual.

I know you have been flat out  Nino but has there been any progress at all with the gift/s to Greg's family?

Yes there is progress. We have spoken to the family with various ideas and we have come up with something that the family and friends are all VERY happy with. There will be an announcement in late May (once all the details are sorted).

The only thing I can say right now is that it will be "perpetual".

Oooohhh, pinball party. 

In Melbourne and run by an independent, honest and open committee I hope.  I'd be happy to help out in any way I can if it doesn't involve you know who.

Just a quick update - we are moving towards having an event that bears Greg's name. An annual event that will be part of an existing comp. Most likely in Melbourne at this stage. The donations will be used to fund the trophies in the event, at this comp (the donations will cover at least 5 years worth of events). We are working with the family and we have spoken with a reputable organizer to start this process. There's still some work to do, but we all agree that the event will be annual.

I just thought I'd chime in and let everyone know that this is happening. The family are thrilled with the idea, and so are we ! we just need to ensure we get everything "right" for the first event.

Perfect tribute, that fantastic news.

Perfect tribute, that fantastic news.   

There were a number of options - and some amazing ideas from pinheads. We credit MartyJ with the initial idea, and we ran with that to the family and they were overwhelmed with the idea. We wanted an annual remembrance that involved family and friends - with pinball - but we widened it to make the focus Greg's memory. There's a couple of hoops to go through - but there is no better way to remember our friend.
