Craig from Sydney sent me this pix. I have quite a few on my camera which I'll share in the next few days, just too busy tidying up and recovering at the moment.

A big thanks to hosts, attendees and everyone else that had a hand in making it a successful event. It was the best behaved crowd we've ever had.

Many more were jam packed behind the camera and outside the deck. About 90 people attended Saturday night here.

Little 30 second timelapse of some of the System 11 and Classics comps.

Huge thanks to BJ for hosting and all those who helped giving us a lift around. Big thanks as well to PaulOz for running the comps and the hosts for providing the locations to play at.

Notable memories:

You're welcome.

However I find your interview style a bit leading. :P :P

THANK YOU - Had a Great Time!

A huge thank you to the organizers, hosts, and scorekeepers. It was great to see my Kiwi and Aussie friends from past events, and to make a few more. A very successful Pincade that I enjoyed immensely! :)

That explains why he didn't play in the comps on Sunday.

Pincade photos galore!

I've finally uploaded some pix to my photobucket account. I don't profess to be a good photographer!

KIWI PINCADE Part 10: NEW ZEALAND (2nd-5th March 2017)

Well finally our NZ travels have finally come to an end. I'd like to thank all the organisers, venue owners, pinball machine owners, scorekeepers and everyone who made the event an awesome experience. Thanks heaps Yee for making things transparent and easy for us Pincade virgins. You are a true gem mate. Was great to catch up with everyone and we're looking forward to next year. A massive thanks from Laura and myself.

Finally got back home after an action packed week.

New Zealand never fails to disappoint. An awesome weekend.

Always good fun and banter had by all.

We got flooded in at Matarangi so had to cancel our flights.

An extra day at Paul and Angel's holiday house playing pinball though.

Thanks all for a top week in NZ.

Thanks for all the extra work like this that you put in Yee, on top of all the organising of Pincade that you also do.

Also thanks to all the hosts that not only open up their homes and games rooms, but host people as well.

Also thanks to all the helpers with comps and organising the event.

Had a great time. Don't know when I would get back again. By the 4th day I was cactus [emoji266], might have something to do with being last to leave every venue, spending too much time on the street eating and yelling at tractors and watching hotel tv till all hours while being up early with the construction work next door.

5 large coffees couldn't even kickstart me on the last day. Am still paying the price for it now.

Hi Edy

Thanks for the compliments but it's really a team effort. Pincade couldn't exist without the hosts and the work they put into opening up their doors for us.

I wouldn't be doing the organizing if I didn't enjoy it. Once it becomes a grind, I'll give it away. For me it's a very social thing. I've met some real top people since Pincade started, people that I'm proud to call friends. It was great meeting up again with some old acquaintances but also very enjoyable meeting up with Pincade virgins!

This year's Pincade crowd was the best behaved yet. No issues to sort out so looking forward to Kiwi Pincade #11.

Bring it on!

Yee.

Huge thanks to yee and the hosts for a great pincade this year. had a blast!!! Looking forward to next year and enjoyed catching up with everybody but was especially good to see Byron (the yank) again very thankful for showing us around when some of us guys were in Chicago for expo.
