An Apology

[Chris Lacey]

I just wanted to apologise to anyone who has expected Lips to be at the Midland Masters events that have been held in 2006.

There are some diplomatic ‘inter company happenings’ behind the scenes that are making it awkward for us to attend events at the moment.

No reflection on Wendy or her operation at all. Wendy is lovely and deserves all the accolades she gets. Her series of tournaments are without doubt one of the key driving forces in UK paintball. Given the choice we would have done every event this year, they are absolutely great.

We will be at the 7 man events which begin in March.

Nope, the complications lie elsewhere. I am unable to elaborate at present but I will be delighted to fill everyone in at a later date.

I think it best to add that there are no problems at Lips at all, no planned changes in personnel, no financial crisis and no personal dramas. It really will be business as usual.

I sincerely hope that if for any reason anyone has a dim view of LiPS because of our absence you will completely understand in a few weeks time.

I look forward to reading the threads which will no doubt discuss the ramifications of what will come to light and how it affects UK and indeed worldwide paintball.

Best wishes,

Chris Lacey.

Thanks Paul.

I have had a load of panicky phone calls since I posted.

No, we are absolutely not closing or disappearing. Business is great and Jon and I are not about to give it up for anything.

Thanks for the concern but it's the wrong train of thought.

I was in LiPS only yesterday picking up Shazam's paint and everything was fine. I'm sure whatever it is Chris will let us know soon enough.

 

[L.i.P.S]

One thing that Chris forgot to add to the post is that we are now delighted to be able to offer Team Paint sponsorship on the R.P.S range of advantage paints, any team who may be interested in the LiPS deal please contact us on 01707 325007 or mail us at sales@lipspaintball.com for more info.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes

Jon

Oh yeah and I am still and always will be better looking than Lacey.

I have a question given the coming ramifications. Who or what the hell is LiPs? Never heard of 'em. Is it like S.M.E.R.S.H. or THRUSH or maybe Halliburton? A new power rising to challenge the UPBF?
