What he said ^^^^

 

[u72]

2 meets sounds a good idea, gives everyone chance to meet up at one venue at least

We just need to decide which location at what time - Leeds has a large outside area - possibly good for summer

Leeds is where my inlaws stay, might have to suggest a visit, then drive right past and into Arcade Club.

5 Min walk for me
I’d still come to both meets and got a wedding reception at Bury to go to too later this year

Same size!!! goodness I thought the Leeds one was going to be a smaller one, bit like a moon around the main planet! I prefer the thought of one main bash with as many attending as possible. Also like the sound of an outdoor area. I seem to spend more time having a natter and drinking at these.

Maybe there should a Summer (Leeds) Winter (Bury) events.

300 in Leeds?!?! Wow! I thought Leeds was just gonna be a small thing. When does it open? How many cabs you actually got now? Must be a fairly high number....maybe even enough to open a Glasgow Arcade Club

 

[u72]

I don’t mess about it will open with around 200 building to 300 over the summer/autumn
AC has Including fixer uppers over 1000

Alright chaps,
I was at arcade on the 2nd and saw the Williams private party comp. Before I realised what was what, I managed to get a game on the little defender cab.
It was a lot better than I thought and it was one of those 1up arcade toys. But can't seem to see anything about. So I'm assuming it was not one of those and custom made.
Anybody give me a heads up where I can read about the build?
Obviously it didn't compare to the real Defenders there.
Cheers

They are built by Jim Bowley https://www.jbgaming.co.uk

Jim's a great guy and whilst a new build is never going to appeal to a purist, they are the best new builds I have ever seen.

Did you manage to play his backwards Defender - it's brilliant.

And no, I am not Jim Bowley!

Boom, just like that. Cheers mate.
Yeah they definitely were well made.
I did play the reverse one and it took me a few minutes to realise it wasn't broken haha.

Will there be a UKVac meet this year at either Leeds or Bury?

Would be nice to do Leeds this year .... I know Andy is working hard getting it ready to open. Going forward do we do one UKVAC event alternating each year between the two or do 2 events a year one at each.

 

[u72]

Leeds would be good it has a private party room we could use as well

 

[Brettster]

I’m in

When!!!!

Hey Andy when does Leeds open?

Sorry I know you like that question

Private party room with rarer games???? G-loc R360 please

Ok, probably not that but hows about a ukvac pre-opening night party? We can test the games to make sure they work
