The team, having now spent some time in therapy and on the road to recovery, want to take the time to say a few thank you's to folks for the 2008 season, especially with the culmination of our game Sunday gone.
First up, is
Wendy and Dave Auton of Scotch Corner Paintball Village. Whilst Wendy focus's mainly on Tournie ball, she is indeed one of the most passionate folks we've met in terms of moving PB forward. A very cool character that I know a lot of you have had the pleasure to meet, and letting us run away with our fantasy world to real life for the last two years has just been FAB!! If it wasn't for Wendy, the team probably would not have moved so far forward in the last 2 years.
Everyone that managed to think about making it to our games over the last two years. We want to thank you for your trust that we could deliver an experience that you would enjoy, and to have nearly tripled our attendance this year from last and hopefully put a good show on just reaffirms that we managed to do what we like to do best... Make folks Happy
Our Game sponsors... let's face it... these guys are indeed commited to Scenario in the UK. It's a multiplying sport, and I'm sure they'll all be in it for the long haul.
BZ - what can we say... forever committed to the game, not only giving freely prizes to the raffle, but consistently providing folks with support and generally being all round lovely chaps. I hear their socks are very warm
Planet Eclipse - I'm sure most of you didn't count how much the goodies were worth that we gave out on Sunday. Let's just say it FAR exceeded our expectations, and the fact that they were able to support the game in such a way is outstanding.
JT Paintball- Again, providing an outstanding supply of merchandise for the raffle.
BT Battalion On a personal note, BT have done more than humour me over the last two years, and for me to ring up to be told, here have a marker.. I was bowled over. I'm not going to bang on about BT, unless someone wants me to, I'll be more than happy to next time you see me
H-Pac I honestly don't think that folks realise how much time and effort these guys go to to "do the job" Whilst there are other air providers out there, we have to say that for us, H-Pac have delivered our expectations everytime that we've had the pleasure to use them (even being told my bottles were out of date at Kellys by two days... I hadn't even noticed!) So thankyou for keeping us safe and happy 'ballers.
Ultimately, we're just a group of guys that enjoy a bit of self harm and bimbling around the countryside, meeting up with our mates for a few bevvies and having fun. We'd like to think we do it seriously, but at the end of hte day... when the last shot is fired... we're just as eager as anyone to get back on the field and shoot with or at you.
Here's hoping 2009 is a bumper year for OUR sport. Peace
