BUSHFIRE AID MEET & GREET
« on: February 12, 2009, 04:51:02 PM »
The last week has been a horrendous week for all Australia.
The loss of many millions of dollar worth of property and belongings and the incalculable loss of life whether they be relatives, friends, neighbors or just someone we read about we all feel the loss that this disaster has created.

Child Amusements in conjunction with Pinball Spare Parts, RTBB and Markc Auctions are putting this Meet and Greet together to aid the Bushfire Relief Fund who in turn will aid the people that have been left homeless and devastated by this disaster.

We feel that it is a time that all differences and rivalries should be put aside and we work as one to help these people.

We invite all members of Aussie Pinball Forum and Aussie Arcade Forum to a Meet and Greet to aid the Bushfire Victims.

It is to be held on Saturday 21st of February 2009 at Child Amusements premises between 2pm and 11pm

                    Child Amusements
                    6/176 Canterbury Rd
                    Bayswater North Vic 3153

Entry will be by donation of a minimum $5 per person
A sausage sizzle and soft drinks will be provided with a donation of at least $1 per item
Raffles will be held through out the day/night at $1 per ticket.

Prizes for the raffles will be donated by the businesses that are supporting this effort

          Child Amusements - www.childamusements.com.au
          Pinball Spare Parts - www.pinballspareparts.com.au
          RTBB - www.RTBB.com.au
          MarkC Auctions -http://stores.ebay.com.au/Childamusements-and-markc-PINBALLS

All monies raised will be donated to the Bushfire Relief Fund in the name of both Aussie Pinball and Aussie Arcade Forums.

If any other business or person feels that they may want to contribute to the day, whether it be by donation of raffle prizes or bringing along machines for people to play, please contact Mark at Enquiries@childamusements.com.au

We will have some nice Pinballs there as well as Arcade machines, Drivers and a couple of kiddie rides.

Here are some of the machine that will be available to play and peruse.

Cactus Canyon            Medieval Madness       Monster Bash
Guns 'n Roses             Safe Cracker               Shrek
Family Guy                 Sopranos                     Pirates of the Carribean
Austin Powers             Bugs Bunny                Lost in Space
Getaway                     Star Wars DE              Last Action Hero
Playboy                      Lord of the Rings          Theatre of Magic
Plus others

Twin Daytonas (3)
Sega Rally
Big Buck Hunter
Point Blank 2
Table Top games
Kiddie Rides (2)
plus other to be confirmed

We usually have 50 working pinballs in our showroom but many have been sold so we will be working hard to get as many going for the day. If need be we will bring our personal collections in for the day.

Everyone will be welcome from both forums and you can bring your friends or family as well. The more that come the more we raise.
The monies raised will be tallied on the night and the amount raised will be announced.

The businesses involved will also make a monetary contribution to the totals as well.

If any other businesses come on board we will make further announcements in this thread

So come one come all. Let’s see us as a community get together and do the best we can to raise as much as we can

I'll be there as well

Add a "Junk Yard" to the list as well, and I might see what else I can bring along.

Great idea Geoff and everyone.

Aussie Pinball will support any fundraiser that can assist those who have suffered from this disaster. Some members have lost loved ones and we need to support those who have survived and have nothing but the clothes on their backs.

It is the "Australian Way"
