My fellow Balling amigos,
I need your help with this one.
The story is,
I wish to try and start a team for the RAF, looking future wise to maybe create a Tri-service team or teams who would be able to compete at international level and represent the armed forces in a competetive light. However, To get funding of any sort from the RAF and leave granted to participate in a certain sport, the sport its self has to be recognised by the "RAF Sports board."
Sadly as you can probably guess, the king of all sports is currently not recognised, hense i cannot get any type of funding or support from the RAF.
Recently though, the RAF its self has started to use woodsball to train Troops in a hostile environment, not to go into too much detail for obvious reasons, but they use the woodball to re-create situations like Afghan and beyond.
I would have thought that this would only assist my case in trying to get recognition for the sport.
The really annoying thing, is things like Game Fishing, and MotorCross have full recognition!!
The help and assistance I require is trying to put together a portfolio of Tournament Paintball that i can present to the board to try and convince them to recognise Paintball and raise some funding and support in creating teams, both individually for the RAF, and also for Tri-service.
I have made an attempt at creating one, but it is REALLY basic! Im asking for input, ideas, info, anything that i could use in creating a work of art that the sports board would be blown away by and have to give it some serious thought!
I know some of the Uni guys have presented stuff to their Unions, if i could use their ideas or anything like that, it would be amazing. Im not the greatest when it comes to presentation as college wasn't really my thing
Well thats my plan, any help or advise you could give me towards putting this to the RAF would be invaluable.
I hope there are the peeps out there who can point me in the right direction with help or info of any sort.
Cheers all, i leave it with you
Richie Monk
