After last year's overwhelming success, we are very pleased to announce the return of the South Coast Slam on February 5th & 6th 2011.
But this time there is a twist....This year we intend to bring together both classic video game groups and pinball groups to stage a weekend of classic gaming to rival similar events in the USA.
The support we have had so far is unbelievable from both sides of the classic gaming scene. This is shaping up to be an unmissable weekend.The Psych Out tent and tournament will be making a welcome return and work is going on to make it even more mind blowing than before.The Super Slam Showdown Tournament will also be returning with the winners of both tournaments battling to keep their titles. Video game competitions will be running all weekend, kids competitions, high score competitions and the return of the South Coast Slam Charity Raffle, where this year's top prize is a full size, top class pinball machine!Last year's surprise guest was none other than Gary Stern, President of Stern Pinball! Can we top that? You will have to wait and see.In addition there will be a selection of pinball and video games for sale or trade, and exclusive limited-edition South Coast Slam 2011 T-shirts are also available. See the contact page to enquire about getting one.All this for just £10 a day. Kids go free when accompanied by an adult and there are also discounted hotel room rates available for Slam attendees. Plus you can get free entry all weekend if you bring along a pinball machine or video game.
