we get school groups in and they have a name list of everyone who is in the party left behind the counter. then you put a tally next to the persons name who has just got paint of you then the teacher responsible for all of the students pays for everything (nice and easy for the site) and then the school sort it out amongst them selves by billing the kids later on. also its good news for the site as the kids pretty much have unlimited paint so dont care how much they shoot ;)
the schools pay the walkons and the kids buy their paint.
i dont think many kids are gonna say no to that, it's either a day at a paintball site shooting there friends or a day in a classroom listening to teachers...
and if your gonna promote tourny ball i would simply take a copy of pgi with you and then on the bus journy home chat to people and show them there is more to paintball. they will be more likly to listen to you then as they will be full of it, wanting more, everyone telling you they took out 20 guys out in one swift move. ahhh :rolleyes:
I think I will try and do that this time as last time it was abit hectic as I had bought 400 paintballs in advance for everyone and some thieving gits decided to take some more but thankfully we had plenty spare due to people dropping out. Yet the problem is I don't know the prices you charge but I believe a large number of kids would be disappointed to find that their "free" trip paintballing only covered there £5 entry fee and they still had to pay £7 per hundred paintballs (or £6 if they were smart enough to buy by the bag and split it amongst themselves). As the problem is it wont be a stand alone trip it will be among an option of trips eg go karting etc so the school wont want to pay too much for it when the could simply use a cheaper reward and wouldn't want to charge the kids tooo much for the day as they would see this as perhaps as only rewarding those who can afford it and I remind you this is a state school. So really it needs to be cheap (or as close as paintballing will ever get)

Also was thinking to use magazines if I couldn't find a suitable video but would I face the same problem? As the only paintballing magazines I have are PBUKs that I got free at the NQ and they have the paintball babes section which I might have difficulty getting past the censors. So does pgi have anything similiar and which issues don't have any arrticles about cheating injury or alchol?
