  1. Some photos from the weekend. Thanks to everyone that came along - and to make it even bigger next year!
  2. First day of qualifying done for Main, Classics and Womens. Link to follow is neverdrains.com/apo2023 Strikes event saw Simon Peel take first over Peter Watt, with Gino and Michael in minor places. Qualifying continues all day today with a night off for dancing and partying with live music at Twin Towns!
  3. Opening event done and the venue is humming! Card qualifying starts today, so the fingers and brains will be ticking over working out best strategies. 4-strike event is on tonight per the webpage (we felt generous and added another strike). Hope to see you all there some time over the next few days.

This will be a 3 day main event - 2 days of open unlimited qualifying using the 5 - game card system used in the US and UK, with the top 32 progressing to Sundays Finals. We anticipate over 30 games available for the event in our own private "River Room" at the base of the hotel. Side competition will include a warm-up Target Matchplay on the Thursday Night, a 3-strike knockout on the Friday night and a closing Flip Frenzy on the Sunday night for those that stay around. Saturday evening will be for more finals qualifying, or exploring the location! A separate Women's qualifying with finals will be held on the Sunday morning, and prizes are available for Top junior (12 and under) and Top Senior (55 and over) qualifying score. Twin Towns Sebel/Mantra resort has arranged 10% off all accommodation booked for the event. The resort is 1 street from Coolangatta beach and the tournament event is being held in the resort itself. Families are encouraged to attend for a pre-Christmas holiday! The location is only 7 minutes drive from Coolangatta Airport. The Event room itself has it's own bar and is linked by a walkway to the Twin Towns services club that has 7 restaurants, gaming rooms (that Pokies sadly), live music and show rooms (not sure who is on the schedule at the moment for that time). Link for the venue is here: https://www.twintowns.com.au/stay/ It is hoped this can become and annual event as is done in the UK and USA, and expanded to include Classic Events and even High Stakes if people are interested. Final details and pricing will be forthcoming. We have a great committee working on this so hope everyone has a great time!!!

  6. Saw that. Might just give it a go.
  7. Just returned from Tazpin and Emily has fallen in love with Farfalla. One of the few games that seems to be made specifically for women (with an appealing back glass for men)! if someone ready to move one on please let me know.

  13. Hello all, I assume this is the right place to post this? I've decided there is so much great stuff past and present in Australian Pinball that I'd try to spread the word. This podcast will interview people I've met, and some I've yet to meet, that contribute to the hobby we love. 3 episodes out so far, another 4 already recorded but yet to be edited and released. If you have suggestions for guests, ideas for inclusion, hate it or like it please let me know. Email contact is: aussiepinballpodcast@gmail.com You can find the podcast on The Pinball Network here: https://www.thepinballnetwork.net/e/off-the-record-pinball-podcast-ep-17-the-aussie-pinball-podcast-ep-2-jessy-jay/ Or google aussie pinball podcast.
