Erm.... Pinball has been a large part of my life for the past few years, perhaps a little bit too much. After hosting the European Pinball Championships and World Pinball Championships in the space of two weeks, I decided to take a break from pinball for a while. I've had hundreds and hundreds of best wishes emails which have been great but it's time to have a break!
I've organised 5 world class UK Pinball Shows, met some incredible people and had a blast, but it never was my intention to stick around forever. I'm still getting visitors to HQ2 who want to rummage for parts, play pinball or just have a cup of tea and a chat. Everyone is welcome still (well, nearly everyone :)
I still check my emails, just you won't get an instant reply like before!
Also it would be nice if the blog could continue but I just don't have the time anymore. If YOU want to continue the blog, I'll show you how easy it is and my little army of informants can be at your disposal!
The blog became so popular that it would be a shame to see it disappear, it still gets more hits than most pinball websites and it's not been active for 6 weeks!
Drop me a line if you want to have a chat about running the blog, or a chat about anything.
I have the Transworld Sport piece on the IFPA which I'll try and upload - my little place on the farm on TV in more than 100 countries around the world is pretty neat! But it's time to have a break, spend some time with the family and chill with the ducks!
Cheers
Nick

That's a shame, but I understand. I did wonder, but didn't want to pester you.
Any chance you could snap yourself with that Coinstar award, and drop it over to me.. you'll live on long after your blog legacy on my own site, that way.
;-)
Please, don´t leave us!
How unfortunate I'm sure there are a lot of pinball enthusiasts out there who will be willing to take over! My husband collects pinball machines at the downtown area of Wichita Falls, Texas but I doubt he has the time in the world to blog -- the hobby of collecting and refurbishing alone keeps him busy enough!
We always wished we had the time to keep track of the games coming in and out of the building. We also plan on taking a bunch of pictures to archive them in a website gallery...but where is time when you need it? I do hope you will still be a fan of the silverball for life though.
Your readers are going to miss you.
