Homepin Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Have we made a date for Pinfest yet? I haven't looked at all the threads in the middle. Late September/ early October is the school holidays, plus Bathurst is in there somewhere too. I suppose you already know.:cool: School holidays clash with Pinfest every year.

JOKERPOKER Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) But this year clashes with Bathurst maybe? Bad idea IMHO. Sorry won't be there as the V8's will win out every time. Edited April 20, 2017 by JOKERPOKER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homepin Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 But this year clashes with Bathurst. Bad idea IMHO. Sorry won't be there as the V8's will win out every time. V8's have lost the plot for me. I was involved when we had mixed classes and racing was real. Now they are all the same cars with different engines - BORING BORING BORING....each to his own.

If so and it is Bathurst weekend I am out also.....Would have liked to come this year as the fence stopped me last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sartana66 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 If it dosen't clash with my daughter on school holidays, could I stay please Brett ? Wazza Pinfest has always been held during the school holidays... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree Bathurst is the best weekend [emoji41] my bum is firmly planted on the couch lol. Pinfest looks like a fantastic event a credit to all involved [emoji122][emoji122] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homepin Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 People will always have differing ideas and opinions on what 'floats their boat'. Maybe some of the younger members on here never saw just how good motor racing used to be 30 years ago in Australia and so they are of the opinion that "nothing beats V8's the way they are today" :unsure Sadly, to me, the V8's paraded today are a pathetic excuse for just how good Bathurst, Lakeside, Oran Park and many other events used to be. The cars raced now don't even exist in 'the real world' for all practical purposes and that's just not how it should be IMO. Might as well just have Nascar etc. That's fine - others have young children and commitments to them as Pinfest clashes with school holiday time. Everyone will make plans to be involved in what interests them the most. It's always a personal choice. As long as everyone is happy with their choice there is no problem. As I understand things, Pinfest is held around this time of year because a suitable venue is difficult to find at other times so we all just have to work with the timing as best we can OR do other things as we see fit to suit our own circumstances.

Cursed Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Pretty sure the 'Bathurst' comments mate are just to suggest if that weekend could be avoided we would love to come... I wont even get started on your "it should not be done because it's not practical" comment. But I digress... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMaloo Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I think it just comes down to the fact that , believe it or not , some of us have other hobbies / commitments outside of pinball and arcade . Just a matter of priorities . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defender Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Your so right about motor racing in general? It was better when a Ford or Holden raced passed a Capri or Gemini. Slowing them down, getting in the way. They had to use more expertise in driving back then. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well unfortunately, like every year, we are at the mercy of what CBH will let us have. They give us the room for free, but the downside of that is that they get to pick the dates. We dont even know what room we will be in - hopefully it will be the larger one we used last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey guys it's all good. I was just mentioning the clash. I fully understand how difficult it is to get a venue anywhere and dates will never suit everyone. Bathurst is just a bigger clash than usual. I'm sure it will still be a great event. Last year was great and agree that is the better room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocyen Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Pinfest 2017 Last year we had these two for sale, I'm working on ideas for this year already. My wife bought the black one for me last year and I love it because of all the manufacturer logos. I wanted a pinball shirt that was about pinball in general instead of just about Pinfest and this one was perfect for that - Pinfest on the front and pinball on the back.

Cursed Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 So the dates haven't been confirmed yet? So why all the Bathurst talk. ? I think it is referred to as "having all information available to you" to perhaps maximise attendance? Gee wizz, seriously it was purely to make the organisers "aware" of the date! Nothing more! I fully understand the organisers may not have a choice, BUT if they do... And clearly there are quite a few of us. Not aimed at you Eddie. Please carry on.

Dedrok Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Oh well. I'll just make sure it's on the Tele so I can watch it. Watch the race start before we let anyone in and we'd be packed up before the end So for me it's a win win win in that case.
