i would come but u would all go after the darkie and pretend im osama :D haha i aint no beard guys :( not even down under all shaven :D

Guys (And girl ;) AJ)

Just read your article about Paintballing and all this sounds fun. I'm retired from paintballing now but would like to go on a recreational basis. I see you're all planning it at Edinburgh but my ex team mate runs one in Ayrshire and is regarded as one of the best.

It has everything on the site, from buildings to trenches and is totally custom built.

I'm not sure where everyone is coming from but it suits me better if it was closer to Ayrshire.

As always, I can get discount for everyone, so the more the cheaper.

Cheers

Gordon

Isn't Ayrshire about 500miles from Dundee?:eek:

Gordon. If it's not too much bother, could you look into prices and availability on the weekend of 1/2 March.
It would then be a matter of deciding between your (plane flight material) venue or Robins in Edinburgh.

Cheers,

Paul

count me in (Glasgow based but more than willing to travel) - could definitely get at least one more as well.

Let me know :)

G

The memories of last time were enough to put me off for ever :p

Not only did i take about 5 headshots from close range, but the instructor type guy thought he would give my position away & leave me open to be shot at :rolleyes: I couldn't move the next again day :eek:

I'll stick to something a tad easier such as snooker or deep sea diving ;) :D

Crush <-- big girls blouse:D:p

Crush, c'mon it will be so funny! :D

AJ

Paul

Go Gordon !!! An Ayrshire venue would be fab :D


SDB, You can add a team from GTROC to that list too, I think.

Guys

Can't get a hold of him yet for Scooby discount but here's his web site http://www.scottishpaintballcentre.co.uk/. I've not got the time or patience to make it clickable so could someone do the honours?

Once I get a decent price for you guys, I'll let you know.

Cheers

Gordon Shek

P.S. It's actually in Fenwick (near Glasgow), there's a map on the Web Site.

AJ

Is there a limit on the number of players or should we get more?

My brother and a couple of m8's would be interested.

Stefan

As far as I'm concerned, you can get up to 100 people on at once. Now that would be easy pickings!:)

I had a look at the website and it isn't too expensive :)

Plus it isn't that far from Glasgow, where is the one that Robin is talking about??

C'mon folks get some more girlies along, I don't fancy being the only one there but then again I'm just like one of the lads :D

AJ

Guys

Just spoke to Alan who runs the paintball site. March 1st and 2nd should be okay and they can take up to 100 people. I said it'll be in the region of around 30 to 40. And as for the price, I couldn't get any cheaper as he has "partners" in the firm so if his partners can't get discount for his friends then he can't do it either.

However I found something that might interest all of you. I found this on the paintball site So if a few of us bulked buy then we can spread the cost between ourselves.

Let me know what you think.

Cheers

Gordon

Yeah, I remember the paint balls themselves costing an absolute fortune the last time I went paintballing. If you dive about, you can easily burst some inside the plastic loader on top of the weapon. You then end up firing nothing but blanks :(

IIRC when it was organised through my work, it cost just £20 for the full day (including lunch), but at least another £40 - £50 just on balls :eek:

You go through these little beggars like nothing else (well, I do anyway; if it moves shoot it and even if it doesn't shoot it again just in case;).

Stefan

Ozzy

You're absolutely right. I can survive all day on just 50 balls but others need about 550 balls in one game.

In my view, don't fire unless you're sure you're going to hit something/someone. It makes it a bit boring but also challenges you to be a good marksman.

Others say that this sport is very sore but I don't think it is compared to rugby or similar. Besides, the adrenlin takes the pain away.:)

I would say £30 or £40 in total will see you all right through the entire day. That's less than a full tank of people and you get the same buzz :D.

It's only sore if you just wear just a thin t-shirt. Wear some thick layers of clothing and it'll be pain-free. I'd also recommend wearing a good woolly hat too as getting a ball in your lug-hole aint't too pretty. My rule is cover every exposed bit f flesh with at least a few layers :)

I've shot a few stationary targets in my time, so I'm out for the fun of blasting everything I see. Looking for more like 1,000 rounds and a mini-gun ;)

Stefan

ive been once
had my head and neck exposed only
so did most people
2 of my m8s got hit in the neck - the size of the mark (blood!), swelling and the pain was enough to make me a wimp for the next 3 games that day

ya big pussy Phil :p

AJ

Shouldn't have been a sitting duck in the first place.;)

AJ

And you think he's a big pussy? Listen to you "I don't want to be the only girl there blah blah blah blah blah";)

Gordon, AJ
I am a big pussy :D
and proud ;) :p

I don't fancy being the only chick cos you lot will just pick on me!

Bring it on then, I'll show you all how it's not done :p

AJ

Aye AJ

You'll be the only chick alright, to get shot out of the sky!:D

ok, you've all sold it to me, was trying to say no for last few days but the boy soldier in me broke out, when the booking process is boadcast you can count me and a chum in for it.

chrisyd
