Things To Do While You're Our Guest

A little history... water under the bridge, so to speak... In September 2004, five days after the PAPA 7 tournament ended, the PAPA Headquarters were destroyed by a severe flood. All of the pinball machines were devastated; only two were saved and restored. Pictures of the damage are available. We promptly rebuilt, however.

Complete information about each and every previous PAPA and Pinburgh tournament, as well as our annual Cupids & Canines charity fundraiser, can be found in the navigation bar on the right.
