Syn - you going to be the 'security' and 'organiser' for this? I'm not purposely p'ing on your idea - it's just that it's been tried before - and failed miserably. I suppose that doesn't mean it will this time. Good luck with it :D.

Oh, and Robbo, yes I did ;). Did you?

LOL. But, do you think it would be a good idea (even if it's not your good self)? Maybe Mr. Trutter or even Mr. Maskell (if he's back over here) could 'help out'?

I think it would help turn this conference in to a "must" rather than a "want".

Certainly Nick T would be a guy I would trust to spread the word and even someone like Mark Toye: Ledz is also another guy who has sooo much to give to people in terms of a pragmatic approach to paintball, both on the field and off.

These are just some of the UK people who have a lot to offer us and there are a lot more with the likes of Ged Green, Steve Baldwin and Barry Fuggle (Millennium), Steve Bull and I also think we need some representation from the scenario boys here and so I better acquaint myself with some of the 'names' from over there or get Bully to fill me in.

We need to hear from those guys because they are an important part of our sport whether it's fashionable to like them or not.
I was a hater but after that Jim Frensham's Warped big game I went to a year or two ago, I changed my opinion.
I had a frikkin great time and maybe that's where some of us from the tourney scene can learn something because when I look around now at what's supposed to be the pinnacle of our sport, smiles across faces are like English players in the Arsenal line up.
If we get this sorted, then I think it will be a good day and if what I am hearing about yesterday at Ancaster, then our first step on the road to recovery was a good one.

bring and buy table perhaps?

may i recommend the three counties showground at malvern for this?

indoor and outdoor space, used for plenty of conferences throughout the year and easy to find being just off the M5.

Perhaps an actual 'Auction' for paintball gear could be run on the day. Create a thread acting as a 'catalog' of things that will be available then anyone can bid and pay on the day. Then a commission cut could go to running the event or to a charity for example. Just a thought.
