This year we're supporting the charity Get Well Gamers which provides donated games and consoles to thousands of children and young people in hospital. They will be collecting any games and consoles for donation - (don't worry if your game is not suitable for children as they can sell or exchange those). Games are said to be an effective and proven pain management tool and help young people in long hospital or hospice stays.
Every machine at the show belongs to someone who has lent it for the weekend.
Behind the scenes, a great deal of planning and logistics takes place. Volunteers get the machines in on the proceeding Friday, then tend to any repairs during the event. Then late on Sunday comes the mammoth task of
dismantling all those bulky machines and getting them out.
We're most grateful to those who help out, such as Paisley Pinball and our friends from Northern Lights Pinball and North East Retro Gaming (NERG) - we couldn't pull it off without you!
Why we do it? We love pinball!
