Thankyou smally. I like the idea of this lil fella trying to buy a marker.
I dont have any air systems etc but i do have an old pair of proteus if he needs goggles.
After all, it is Christmas soon

Can you trust anybody?

Judging by some peoples reactions to my post, a lot of you have been, or expect to be ripped off.
I just thought it might be nice to give a resourceful young man a good start in Paintball. If you want to contribute any kit send it to NIck@ Skirmish or Big Pete @ NPS, if you think either of them is going to Scam you then you don't know much about people in Paintball.

All I was after was a smaller bottle which has already been offered, I may live in Crawley but I'm not opening a shop selling second-hand paintball gear

Does the lad want some angel pants?,x-small,brand new(need room for new line) as Red Heat will donate some to the lad,seeing as its xmas(nearly) plus if he lives in the mids,he can train with our young guns team as well!send us address and we,ll bang em in the post...........Frenchie...top gun for Red Heat

As I said he is only 11, not 12 till next year but if you want to send him some gear best thing is to get it to Nick @ Skirmish,he knows Jonny's dad. A bit of gear for Xmas would make his day.

The lads in the team are giving him a London Tigers Barrel Sock and I'm sure a X-small top may be on order next year.

Hi Guys,

Just found this thread due to Shep telling me about it...

I'm Jonathan's Dad and to be honest am overwhelmed at the response from you all!

I have to admit, I thought Jonathan a little cheeky and I was slightly embarrassed when he told me about it. But like Steve say's don't ask....

I just thought I'd let you all know that there have been a few proviso's to this offer... Jonny can't play till the middle of next year and have said that only if he can put up with the early morning starts, pain and shows a level of responsibility that this offer can go ahead. I'd really like him to enjoy the game as I see it as something that should help to develop his character.

I've asked Steve to keep in touch when the Tigers play more "North", as we're in Yorkshire but if that's not the case for a while, I'll have to see what I can do to get him to a venue near them.

Thanks to Steve's offer we're now going to get him to a few more tourneys, continue the interest and support the Tigers for what they (and everyone who's posted here) want to do for him.

So, as a final message to you all..

Thank you.

We'll keep in touch and if all goes well another Baller to join the ranks in a few months.

Regards,

Phil (CK) Camouflage Kidder

Who's getting too old for this game and needs someone to carry his (colostomy) Bag for him.....

Anyone who was at the over 35 event could not have missed the young man at the front of the crowd trying to bid for a marker with the 50p he had been saving. Unfortunately all the nasty big paintballers out-bid him so he missed out.
I was one of them, getting a Diablo Mongoose for a friends teenage boy for Xmas, but Jonny had an idea. As I had two markers maybe I didn't need one, unfortunately I didn't want to give up my Shocker, and as I said the Mongoose was already accounted for. However I do have an RT kicking around in an old kitbag so as he did promise to give the 50p to charity I'm sending it to NIck @ Skirmish to give to the young lad.

This is where you lot come in, the rt does have a air bottle but it's a 1.9 ltr and even I struggled with it at times, so does anyone have a smaller 3000 bottle kicking around, even if it doesn't have a reg.
Could make one keen paintballer very happy

Hey look I had work commitments on the charity do and could not make it,

Would of loved to be there this year and expected to be , but emergency called......

Right to the point, I tell you what I have some kit here as spare and if he wants it....... Contact me Tigers know my number or steve will have it!

1 planet bag
1 revolution hopper with intellifeed
A spare set of of goggles

Some bits of kit general bits a little outdated for me so i will put them in....pots etc.....

Look I will give them to that lad no charge, a xmas gift from the dog so when he plays he can save for the better stuff later......

New players to the sport is good and always helps.
