Hi Belles,
Thanks to everyone who joined us for our casual meetup at NerdHaven Arcade–it was nice to be back! We had 8 folks come out, including two new faces: Josephine and Clei. It’s always a pleasure connecting with new and familiar friends over pinball!

Shoutouts – Madison Youth Pinball – Help Needed!
The Madison Youth Pinball group meets twice a month. It’s a time for children to learn how to play pinball for free. This event is hosted by Francis Wisniewski and supported by adult volunteers within the pinball community; however, they could use some extra hands. If you’re interested in supporting Madison Youth Pinball, please reach out, and we can get you connected to Francis. Their next event is January 25 and they have their first tournament on February 1. They usually need the most help in their earlier block with kids 11 and under.
A big congrats to some of our Belles for qualifying for the IFPA State Championships, Women Division! Shoutout to Allison, Donelle, Erin, Mary, Jacque, and Sharkey for qualifying. Shoutout to our not-so-local Belles Dori and Sara as well! Shoutout to Tiffany making it as an alternate too! Good luck to everyone. We’re proud of how much this group has grown in both size and skill.
If you want to support the championship, Sara is still looking for more cash and other prizes. Please consider donating or sharing!
We’re looking forward to another amazing year of pinball with you all.
See you at The Kickback!
Flip on,
The Belles & Chimes Madison Planning Team
