There are a bunch of us on here from the area, but no official club that I can see. It would be nice to be able to meet up with folks and make friends with people who have collections to be able to try different games on occasion and have fun tournaments and just talk pinball. Who's in?

I'm in! I live in DE, however, my office is in Bridgeport, NJ. DE has a really small pinball community, I wish there was a pinball arcade near me. I went to the Pinball Gallery in Downingtown, PA an hour and a half away. I took my family, we had a great time there. The place is clean, pins worked great, it met my expectations without a doubt. I highly recommended any pinheads to go there. Ever since then, I have been dreaming to have a arcade myself. However, I believe pin gallery won't make it here. I'm thinking a really good Italian deli/hoagie shop with pins in it... Anyway, I'm going off the topic. Count me in!

Fusion you have the best pin logo ever! The jersey pin devil is badass. Your logo looks like it should be on a back on a biker's gang jacket.

I know of both those places, but they are 30 miles out of philly, and 50 miles out of south jersey. I am looking for people with collections either in Philly or real near by or south jersey. 25 mile radius, 30 minute commute tops. Its not fun driving 1hr plus for anything I did a quick search on pinside and found maybe 5 people in jersey that match that criteria but i was hoping people who were on here would know someone who was in south jersey but not on pinside, idk?

Not atlantic county, not North Jersey, not Allentown or Downington lol! If you are passed Hammonton or Winslow your over 25 miles out from Philly/Cherry Hill.

There are two leagues in the north west Burbs of Philly. One on Wednesdays @ Pincrossing/Railroad Street Bar and the other on Thursdays @ The Pinball Gallery in Downingtown. Both locations are on the pinside map and offer an excellent lineup of machines and players.

Count me in as someone who'd like to figure something out in Philly proper. I'd host, but with just one WWFRR and a mini digital cab wedged in the corner of my bedroom... I'm hoping someone else has a better idea.

I was supposed to post a club thread this weekend. I wasn't able to due to a deal I was working on that produced a very nice Shadow that I picked up in Ohio this weekend. At least we've gained a new pin to play! I guess it wouldn't hurt to post it any way. I'll do so today.

BTW to all the locals, take a look at my collection. All of my games may be potentially available for trade for something on my wish list. I am not sure if my lineup and your wishlist line up or not but its worth a shot. I got BDK, SoF, T2, Stargate.

then a "league" would likely work for me... i am a lousy player, but i have fun...

if this does come together, i would be willing to host an "em night" somewhere along the line... although a warning in advance, i have a pretty small space, and i have cats...
