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

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
