South Coast Slam 2014

[RGP]

Amazing write up and so much I missed but well worth it for everyone else's enjoyment and so on.

Our team managed to come away with one thing....



Our arcade mascot.

Nice video

looked like loads of great pins and vids

One thing though.... did I miss it or was there not a single getaway pin? There's usually at least 4

[Bensonrad]

Any word on there being a 2015 event, I'd like that in the diary before I make any other plans

 

[Nilyash]

Great event thanks

2015 dates ??

I have some Atari cabs that I can bring next year

But need to block out the diary

 

[Alpha1]

Nothing will be announced until January guys - you'll need to sit tight

Will has posted in the Facebook group that there will be no Slam this year. A real shame as is was awesome last year.

 

[Nintendo Arcade]

Yes very disappointed as it was one of my favourite events

 

[strykr]

That is indeed a real shame . Hopefully someone can pick up the mantle for a Southern event of some kind!

 

[muddymusic]

Was looking forward to this, never made it before so was gonna do the weekend.
All southern events are off now

 

[Nilyash]

Went last year fro the first time and took my son. Best day out, it was great. Inspired me to get a few more cabs.

 

[retrorepair]

Anyone know why? Seemed like the turn out was decent last year, plenty going on.

 

[LAZORIAN]

Aww, was looking forward to this - just talking about it the other day and making plans to go.
Hopefully there will be something else to go to in this part of the country.

All is not lost though, I am sure there will be another arc-aid and whilst it's not the same it has a lot of potential and had a great turn out last time with Steve's meet also taking place.

Jason is very into his events so the Cambridge Museum might be a possible venue for a "pure" gaming meet as well as a repair meet if there is enough interest to make it happen.
Perhaps a separate post about this is in order.

That could be a good substitute you know...a weekend at the Computer Museum sounds like fun.

If it happens I could have another meet at mine. A new floor is being fitted in the barn upstairs as we speek so bring slippers!!!!!!

I would also help out at the museum if it happens.

...Look what happens when you have "bull-fights"

That would be awesome Steve, had a top night at the last one. Let's see what happens.

If there was a 'repair meet' at Cambridge, we need to get more tech people helping fix stuff.
Also, there needs to be a spreadsheet (or GoogleDoc) to track the status of each machine, i.e. what the symptoms are, does it play blind, etc. etc.
-I would help again, however only if more join in with repairs, etc. We should get some machines running if enough people and the spares to fix them....

Cheers,
