bully is the paintball marker one of the ones argos sells? I agree with banning these toys and i think they should get rid of that recomended for over 8s **** and put a bit more resonable age on
Incidentaly their has been only one mention of the safety specs they pass BS 2092 and are the same as specs handed to visitours to the lab, however as was also mentioned they are not stable on the face and are not comfortable to wear (about as comfortable as a stanley knife blade on the nose) they are totally inadequate to the task.
On a slightly differant note I saw a few sports shops in my area have started selling the cheap and nasty BE plastic markers, not all of them are stocking masks, when asked their was a pitiful lack of knowledge from them. They sell air guns as well so will only sell to over a certain age but still it's worrying......

Just back-tracking a bit...
Creating some level of industry-wide standard for selling markers, registering markers, registering players, monitoring marker use at tournaments, blah blah blah, is a definite requirement.
Perhaps now is the time for some of the bigger tournament organisers, site operators and paintball marker manufacturers to get involved? Once the ball starts rolling.....
People *will* pay a fiver or so to be part of this if it's the only way they get to play paintball... as for the industry big wigs not getting involved? well, it's their bread and butter at the end of the day....
Just my futile attempt at wisdom, mind....

Hell yeah, I'll pay over a fiver for an I.D. card with my piccy on saying I'm a registered 'baller

Isn't funny though the only big name in the game that has commented so far is Bully. We can understand Ledz as he will be busy with Team England but what about the rest???
Come on guys tell us what you think about what is being proposed? After all its for your benifit as well.

I am sure the industry "big Wigs" would get involved but do I count here as I had my wig stolen several years ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Generally
There is a feeling with regards to registering etc.... so I will look into it BUT it would be an Idea if players joined the ukpsf without the need for a big stick
Current membership as of today 440 players with 305 player whose membership has expired within the last six months who have not rejoined. Of the 440 current members 172 memberships were paid by the Series 2002 events and another 100 will be paid for in the next month by the Series 2002.
I would say there are 800+ regular players so why are they not members???
Of the 440 current members at least 20% are rec baller and not tournie players.
Food for thought???

Come on people. If you aren't a member then for petes sake join, if you are then remember to renew, if you have people on your team who aren't members get them to sign up
Ask not what your Federation can do for you, ask what you can do for your Federation... and sending us £5 is a good start
(Checks membership card for date... expires september... phew!)

Bully, I think it expired, as I haven't received a newsletter for a while, but I never received a note to say it was about to run out...
Do I sign up on the website? or do you send out a form?
Dunc.
ps.: yeah, I suppose you'd count as a big wig...
