Thankyou guys for the kind words. My aim with having a collection was always to share them with others and watching other people having fun is what it is all about.

The pinball designers are the ones who should be proud that they did such a great job of designing some "magic" into every machine. Whilst these various machines have passed their so called "hey day" making money onsite etc, I think if anything they are probably appreciated MORE TODAY by pinball people because we all know they are no longer made like they used to be, and I treat them and think of them like yesterdays treasure. They might be old, they might be forgotton, but they are valuable parts of history to me and many others. Just looking at them gives me a buzz.

The best thing for a pinball machine, is to get some love and games put onto it. It repays your affection with a heap of fun. Sounds like a fair deal to me.  ^^^

Thanks again for the kind words.  ^^^  

p.s - Pete (Gorgar) here is the photo u asked for. The first and last one ever of my fat head  %.%, plus my 2 x great kids. Playing pinballs keeps me from jogging.lol
I could probably lose 10kg's plus. Thats my new year resoloution. Anyway, a face behind the avatar photo etc.  ^^^

Bummer I already had plans for the NRL GF in Sydney, I would have been there with bells on.
I have only been to Brett's once but it was a lot of fun and a cool variety of machines both to play and admire. Brett is a top host and I will be sure not to miss any future meets.

The next one will be BIGGER & BETTER with bigger Trophies n Prizes and a even bigger Pinball Competition.  ^^^
Seeing people having such a good time playing all the different games was a huge reward for me. I will have even more machines by the next one so it can only get better.

I have been a bit outspoken on AP in the past n pissed a few people off, but it doesnt mean we cant wipe the slate clean and have a few good meets here n there to make Pinball fun. I am looking forward with a positive attitude. I will be alot more diplomatic so I dont get anyone off side. Even thickheads like me can learn from their mistakes.

The next Pinball Party and Competition will happen next year after Xmas, and I will put alot of time and effort into making it as enjoyable n fun as I can for anyone who wants to come n have some fun and meet some nice members/people. Thanks again for the nice comments.  ^^^

Wow, what a meet! I was actually in Brisbane on 30th September (went to Government House to see my Dad receive his OAM) but we drove down to North Haven on the Saturday.

Congratulations are well and truly due to you for hosting such a great event. Pinball was the real winner on the night!
