Seawitch and Space Station look like being the arenas for this time around :)

 

 

Edit: Developments led to these games not being available for the entire period. Twilight Zone and Maverick are good to take their place though :)

It was great to see a couple of new players turning out for some pinball entertainment! . We had Dion, fairly new to the area, and enjoys flipping the silver ball, as well as the youngest of generations Tyler. The young lad has developed some flipper skills... and can trap like a demon!

Rough drains are agonizing, even for young players!

 

It was a great day, and thankfully no machine issues! :)
