Northampton - No clue

[Bambulus]

Here's the story,

I'm in university at northampton, and i'm looking to get into paintball. There aren't really any parks close by (that i know of), any walkons nearby (that i know of), or a university society/club (again, that i know of).

From my research (mostly google, and the univesity societies page) there isn't really anything paintball related that i can get to.

So, my options are:

- Leave it, until i get back home for christmas/summer, and start to play in a local woodsball park. It's expensive, you're not allowed to take your own paintballs, and it's not really speedball or anything fun. I probably wouldn't be able to go alot, I'd only be able to play when i'm at home.

- Start a paintball society, rally people who would be interested and try and get the universities attention to start something. Not really much of an idea, as i dont really know many people here, I haven't got any experience in paintball other than a bit of recreational woodsball, and i have no equipment of my own yet.

- Desperately keep searching.

- Or, give up.



Suggestions, comments, queries?

Thanks

I certainly wouldn;t mind that

xD

It's just - I have no clue! I haven't really played any paintball other than a bit of rec woodsball for birthdays and whatnot. I'd have no idea what i'd be doing. And I don't know anybody in the uni who's interested, or how to get people interested.

Not to mention my organisational skills are awful.

I kinda want to start learning from people who know a thing or two before i even consider starting anything.

edit:: I have the option of travelling to coventry every once in a while, but it would cost a fortune in train tickets, taxis and whatnot - and i'd probably not get to go that often.

I'm without a paddle at the moment

have a word the your students union.... they are very useful at times like these. best to ask when they are not too sober... or iis that drunk.

they will be able to advise you and may also help you start it running.

I'll give them an email or something - It's worth a try

I just really dont want to start anything yet - I'm a first year with virtually no pb experience.

The only way I can see a new club starting up is if there are students here who play and have a bit of knowledge, I'd be useless. But i can always ask if there's been any other interest in it.
