[james...venom]

Ive got a hard heat too i think. Current champ that beat me in the final, brand new super flipper and a 6 year old tried and tested machine looking forward to it! should be close

[RogueTwoRobots]

If its the same Surprise as before, it is John Frizells machine; drills, nicads and 30mm wood armour if I remember rightly

EDIT: Only just noticed two Beautys will be there - no fair! :P

Oh, and Im bringing a haggis down with me; Saturday night snack at the campsite. Anyone who resists will be force-fed it
