Seriously though, if I sort myself out with a marker by then, what else do I need to come along - like, how does this academy thing work?
Sensible shoes. And a willingness to get shot lots by people who are better than you, and have shinier kit than you.
Seriously though, you can go along to the Academy even if you haven't got your marker yet, sparklie's infernos are much better looked after than I'm used to from site guns, and you can pick up any of the other bits you need (overalls, pack, hopper) either using the site equipment or to buy from the shop
Tea/coffee/squash free all day, and above par cooked lunch available also.
So you really don't need to bring anything else (well, your wallet would be a good idea, unless you want to run around all day pointing your unloaded marker at people shouting "BANG! On yer 'opper mate!"
)
