That is a real shame Gav but in all honesty, did you expect anything different? This Expo could have broken down a few barriers but it wasn't to be.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, too many chiefs that think they are "the authority and the voice" of all things pinball and not enough genuine guys running the show.
I really do wish I had the $$$ and skills to put a proper Expo together. Pinball in Australia is bigger than just 1 or 2 two guys.
