Having a Bank Holiday weekend going free, we thought it was about time we had a Meet and so a few friends from #Jamma+ from varying parts of the U.K. were good enough to come along and play games, eat food and drink beer !!!!
Not everyone could make it and those peeps who couldnt were sadly missed, but there will always be next time.....

Those in attendance were : Me (Pinx), the missus (Pinxy), Kev (Outrun), Kaz (mrs Outrun), Andy (Setch), Alan (Cyclo), Chris (Kip), Em's (mrs Kip)
My Bro Andy (Vwyob), Rachel (mrs Vwyob) and Tina (Pinxy's sister) ...


First Arrivals were Kev (Outrun) and Kaz (Mrs Outrun) who turned up early on the Saturday morning all the way from Liverpool...
Pics: Left The lovely couple. Center 20 mins after arrival Kev is fixing a T.V. he won for a quid off Ebay. Right All the drinving takes its toll....

When he finally surfaces, we take a drive to two electronic shops to get a switch for the telly, Portsmouth F.C. shop
to get a Beany baby (which was closed) Doh...
Get back, finish fixing T.V., set up the Xbox and go out for a meal, come back tuck into some ALCOHOL and watch "Peter Kay" live on the Xbox.


On the Sunday morning i (Pinx) get up ridiculously early and start blowing up balloons as a surprise for Kips missus Em's as her Birthday just happened to coincide with the meet. At this point everyone else is still in bed (sensible lot).
Soon Kaz is up and makes a B-line for the garage to get some practice in, Pinxy is sploshing around in the shower and Kev is still dead to the world !
Pics : Left Me doing Satch Mo impressions. Center An ever growing pile of Balloons. Right Kaz practising on the Space Invaders pinball.


As the morning progressed more #Jamma+ peeps arrived. Andy (Setch) was next, bringing with him a BIG CHEESY GRIN and another Xbox, more ALCOHOL not to mention a plethora of computer stuff and a dead Konami Simpsons pcb.
By now we had set up Robotron on a PS1 on Kev's quid T.V. in the garage. Next arrival was Alan (Cyclo) who came empty handed but made up for it by going home with 1/2 the contents of a Missile Command Cab.
At this point all the Cabs got turned on and the first line up was:

Space Invaders pinball, Pole Position 2, Defender, Galaxian*, Juno First*, Ray Storm*.
Just when we thought we would never see them, Chris (Kip) Em's (Mrs Kip) and Georgia (Baby Kip) appeared as if by magic !

Pics : Left Setch trying hard to look invisible, Center Cyclo "Have you seen this Tank cab on Ebay?" Right Kip prepares Georgia for het first Holsten Pils (only kidding)

Once the games were on, it didnt take long for peeps to stop chatting and start playing...

Final line up for the weekend was PP2, Defender, Frogger, Juno First and Blockhole, but we had also had in
Hyper Olympics, Metal Slug 2, Puzzle Bobble, Pulstar, sadly we didnt get to play through the whole collection,
as time just seemed to run away, but i'm pretty sure everyone enjoyed themselves.

Pinxy and i would like to thank everyone who attended for coming and making it a very enjoyable weekend.
Cant wait to hold a Summer 2004 Pinx(y) Meet....
