Hey Belles!,

Quick shoutout to Steve for the great bar service while we played! ๐ป

๐ Upcoming Events – King Kong Launch Pin-Golf ๐
Our next event is at The Kickback Bar on July 27 for pin-golf. Registration begins at 11:30AM, and we start playing at 12:00PM. Entry fee is $5 which goes to IFPA dues and helps fund our fun trophies. Please note you’ll still be responsible for coin drop during gameplay.
This is a special event as this is our King Kong Launch Party. ๐ฆ We will have a Grand Champ plaque for the highest score during pin-golf and a translite for a random winner. Top 4 after finals will get a 3D gong trophy with a pinball!
After we finish our pin-golf tournament, youโll want to stick around for our bonus non-IFPA King Kong head-to-head tournament which we estimate to start around 3PM. The two King Kong machines will be rigged up together where the biplane ramp (right upper flipper shot) will cause the other machine to TILT! ๐You have unlimited balls, so you can jump back into the action. You only get a couple minutes to score more than your opponent though!
๐ As loyal subscribers to our biweekly emails, you get a big peak at the 3D printed trophies for both of the tournaments. ๐
We encourage you to RSVP on Facebook. It helps the engagement on our page and can drive additional viewers to the event.
โ ๏ธ Change of Schedule Alert โ ๏ธ
Please note that the August Wednesday Match Play event has been moved to Thursday, August 7th. It will be a busy week of pinball at the Kickback as they will be having their co-ed Craft Beer Pinball League Wednesday night, Belles Thursday, and a 3 strikes Great Taste pre-party on Friday.
You know whatโs great about us playing at the Kickback on a Thursday? Thereโs going to be a food cart!๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
๐ข ICYMI: Ladies Flip Wisconsin Goes Apple Picking ๐ข
On Sunday, September 21, Ladies Flip Wisconsin will be hosting a tournament at Warm Belly Farm in Fort Atkinson. It will be a 13-round classics Matchplay with some apple picking and a potluck.
Fee is $10 and there is a side tournament that benefits Project Pinball which is a nonprofit that puts pinball machines in childrenโs hospitals and Ronald McDonald House charities. They regularly do raffles for new win box pinball machines on their website if you are unfamiliar with them. Give them your support!
If you have never been to the collection on Warm Belly Farm, we definitely encourage you to visit. Itโs one of the largest classics collections we have in the south Wisconsin area near Madison.
๐ซถ Help Wanted! ๐ซถ
Weโre looking to design a Madison Belles t-shirt and maybe some custom sticker designs. If you or someone you know would be interesting in this type of graphic design project, please let us know!
Before you goโฆ Look at this cute gumball pinball!
