That looks like an incredible event, any idea who actually organised it?

If there's another one I'll to make a point of getting there.

I'm always surprised at the seemingly lack of any sort of security at these events. I guess the type of persons that frequent these sort of events are pretty decent types who 'undertand' the love, passion and hard work that goes into organising these.

Edit / just noticed there is another planned.

:-)
It was ace, me and the mini Arv had a good time especially on the pinballs.

Any one in here a collector of pins btw?

There's lots of particle effects/explosions, which is pretty cool. 8)

There's a report on the show in the new issue of Retro Gamer (#84, due in shops today if the delivery vans get there) - it raised over £3500 for charity.
