I've just returned from my 3rd Pincade in Auckland, New Zealand - a quick 3 hour flight from home. Most of the info is already here, but just wanted to reinforce that this meet caters for everyone. The comps are fantastic and well attended - usually 65-75 competitors in each so tons of IFPA point if you like them.

More importantly, increasing numbers of wives/girlfriends/partners and kids are coming along now. It's a great chance to combine pinball with a holiday to one of the most scenic places on earth. Hobbit town tours are only an hour or so south, boiling mud, majestic mountains etc all easily accessible. All events are held at peoples houses, so behavior is appropriate rather than bar settings, so all are made to feel welcome.

Some pics to add to the above. Mark it on your calendar for next March - I'm sure the lads and lasses will be diving into planning again soon!

Not a bad view to end the first night of competition.
