Sounds good, are they the machines from the Pinball Parlour in Ramsgate?

I would guess they were.

If that's the case, congratulations to the guys from the pinball parlour and welcome to the cause!!!

I wish I lived nearer!

Vince.

[Jim Douglas Jr.]

Awesome! But ooo, ouch, "jukebox" is one word.

[Hairy Vince]

This sounds VERY good!

[Hairy Vince]

Another couple of people here for the 23rd - Assuming the weather and the availability of a table at the Ambrette stay good.

[Vince, Charlie and Sam]

We're going on Thursday, maybe see some folks there.

Alan, can you remember the names of any of the machines you played?

[Alan]

Hi Vince,
one was star wars had a up/ down lever with a push button for ball, can not remember the other one it was left of that machine had normal pull type for ball.

Hi all

If there's ever a break in this dreadful snow I was planning to get over to this pinball event on Thursday afternoon. I finish work at 13.30 that day so probably wouldn't be able to get over til around 3pm if the weather permits. Would anyone still be around at that time so we could meet up maybe? (assuming we can all get down to Margate)

Would be nice to maybe incorporate a festive meal somewhere too if people are up for it.

On a side note for US Jim's comment re the word jukebox being one word, it made me recall our old TV "pop pickers" show called "Jukebox Jury"; I don't remember the original of course as I am too young(!) but I do recall an 80s remake with some Radio One DJ I can't remember.

PS Many thanks Vince for your really helpful "idiot" guide for posting photos to websites etc. I'll really have to get to grips with this over the Christmas holidays. Don't stress over that wintry Scenic shot; only if you are passing by.

Think me and Dave will still be around tomorrow afternoon if anyone fancies meeting up, probably will be getting into Margate around 1pm-ish
