Illawarra Steelers meet - 31st March 2018


Recommended Posts

Just arrived home Tony and very sorry for your loss.

 

Moyra and I only got to meet you for the first time last night and you were extremely welcoming and friendly, by the end of the night it felt like we have known you for ages. It was also great to see you enjoyed the shots!

 

Speaking of which if anyone had a sore head this morning it is Moyra's fault, not mine. :laugh:

 

We had an absolute ball and your games room is something to behold! The machines, the memorabilia, the decorations, the music and that vintage merchandiser...:tequila:

 

Well worth the trip, it was also great to catch up with and meet some of the N.S.W. crew. It was also great to catch up with Yee @rocky2 and Wazza @defender1980

 

Always great to catch up with Dave @furballx as well. Special mention to @WOKA, who was an absolute crack up on the night.

 

But most importantly, our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

thanks again everyone.

 

sorry for the bringdown but my mum passed away early this morning. will be offline for awhile.

 

Awww mate, the very worst of news. So sad to hear this when you should be feeling good about the enjoyment you spread across the people who attended your meet. Give you old man a hug and tell him that I am thinking of the two of you and the rest of the family at the hardest of times.

Thanks again Tony for access to the Steelers Shed, as a fellow Steeler it was awesome to see the part of your collection on show.

Bonus was an absolutely awesome group of pinballs and pinheads too!

 

Condolences to you and the family in regards to your Mum, may she Rest In Peace.

Both Allison and myself are sorry to hear the of passing of your mother Tony, our thoughts go out to you and your family.

 

Thanks for the opportunity to play an amazing collection of EM's and view the history in your shed.

These meets are all about a social get together and the catching up with mutual friends both new and old, and this one was no exception.

You get to chat with people face to face rather than through a keyboard which gives you an understanding of how to interpret their posts online.

 

Most of all it's tons of fun:)

 

Caught Tony doing "The Pinball Shuffle" across the machines...

you and moyra just topped an awesome night. honestly i can't remember laughing so much the words 'shots, shots, shots' are still ringing in my ears.

 

to stand around and slam those shots down and looking around and seeing how happy everybody was made the hundreds of hours and months of work well worth it.

It's probably a fair cop :lol

 

I've watched that video about 20 times and every time Troy, looks around, waves and say's come on you ****ers gather round' I lose it.

 

The cackling you can here is @WOKA standing next to me. I can't believe the video isn't shaking I was laughing so hard.

Tony, firstly so sorry to hear about your mom, I hope things are going as well as can be for you and your family.

And of course thanks so much for the awesome pinnie night with some old friends and some new ones, definitely worth the trip over from NZ. The fireworks inside your gamesroom were a hoot, and disturbing. I liked the Volley and Spanish eyes machines the most. It was good to see a kiwi win the comp too.

Also I really liked your garden, really pretty and well kept.

Thanks again mate, Nick

hi scott, sorry i missed you when you called in yesterday

 

I’m the one who’s sorry I missed it mate. Mrs JP took me away for a surprise weekend away and for some reason I was thinking it was a day later.

Hope you can get the prize to someone or just use it for another event/fundraiser. Feel pretty stupid really.

 

Again hope everyone is doing ok in the saddest of situations. Thoughts are with you mate.

Great times Tony and thanks for putting on such a great meet. So good to catch up with you, the old and the new :)
