I also remember reading questions of people asking how much as well, and yes, a straight answer was never given or even a rough price. Comments should still be there unless they've been deleted.

BOOM!
A conciousness venue would have required proof of insurance, however, an unscrupulous promoter may have cancelled said insurance later on the premise that the event was cancelled.
The third party reports coming in don't make this event look good, the photos of accommodation cells without mattresses look more luxurious than some of the accommodation snoreline have offered before. Reports of players walking out however show that some continue to see the light.
As most of us are now blocked from the various groups and pages we will probably never see the glowing reports from the 'fleeced'!
P.S. If the venue was left in a mess, so what, the promoter probably never intends to return the the venue and most likely signed an exclusive contract before queering the pitch for anyone else who may wish to follow!
Just gonna leave it here.

I think someone needs to alert Sue Marriot from Landmarc that a conman is about to trash one of the locations in her area. Landmarc definately requires an in-date PLI policy of no less than £5,000,000 to use any of their listed sites.
http://locations.landmarcsolutions.com/places/index.php?view=location_images&location_id=274
For location access and more information on filming contact:
Tony Burlton 07825 105671 filming@landmarc.mod.uk
Mark Hudson 0306 770 7420 filming@landmarc.mod.uk
For all other activities contact:
Sue Marriott on 01842 855225 EastTPI@landmarc.mod.uk
As an aside, £37.50 (based on early 2015 Landmarc fees) will be deducted from that £65 to cover the cost of each player being allowed access to Thetford Afghan. So straight away Ar Timmy is down to £27.50 gross profit. What the remaining outgoings are to organise everything else, I don't know. Either way he'll need quite a lot of players to make anything close to a decent payday.
"UK Paintball Awards" I bet thats the name he's booked it under.......

Correct me if I am wrong, but dont urban do/havent they done an event here?
Also, what about sennybridge, (again urban use loads) or the mod training centre for nvs... ?
What gets me is why are they the 'only promoter who can use coloured paint' and what the hell special paint ia it that is 'easy clean'? Reckon spherical are now involved?

Thata on the assumption that 37 quid is paid.
Also, what else will he have as overheads. He will brimg down paint and sell site only paint at inflated prices, so more gross profit there, and no site arrangements made as its 'bring a roll map and camp in the buildings'. People left to their own devices for everything else. This event will be a quick win for bringing in cash.
It was, originally, meant to be an invite only game, so its interesting it's opened up to the public.
