Over the years, we have showcased the pinball shenanigans at Auroa School - a small rural school in the shadow of Mt Taranaki, near New Plymouth.
Mr Bloor is a big fan of the silver ball, and each year he passes that on to the children in the school, in the hope that one day some of them will be keen to buy some pinball machines off us old guys when we go off to the rest home. Nice!

Here’s their latest pinball tournament for your viewing pleasure!

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.
