June to be 'Pinball Forever' Month Annually at VPF
|
Each year, June will be known as 'Pinball Forever' month. It will consist of various activities, contests, and tournaments.
The purpose of this event is to spread the 'Pinball Bug' to those who haven't given pinball a second look in some time. We may not be able to save pinball alone, but we can do our part!
Keep an eye out for our upcoming June newsletter for more announcements!
Last month was a very busy month in many ways, including two hosting changes (read below). We missed April's newsletter deadline, and therefore bring to you a double issue this month!
We do hope you enjoy the newsletter each and every month, and feel free to forward it to friends and fellow pinball enthusiasts!
Big thanks go out to destruk and UncleReamus for their help with this edition!

|
After more than a year in progress, the 90's Workshop table, Independence Day, is finally becoming a reality! As the lone survivor in our first attempt at community workshops, we will soon be able to enjoy the fruits of the participants' labors.
Wtiger deserves a HUGE thanks for keeping the 90's Workshop headed in the right direction. He has shown a great deal of commitment in not only keeping the Workshop moving forward, but providing a series of great tutorials to assist all participating members in creating their own version of Independence Day. Thank you, wtiger!
