Walk-on @ National Paintball Games Staffordshire Sunday 17th May

[Ainsley]

Hey guys and gals

This months walkon will take place on 17th May. Should have been the 10th, but with the Big Game last weekend Jamie thought it best that everyone has a rest for a week. Furthermore, the brand new safe zone should be all finished by the 17th, so no more drips!

Prices will be £20 BYO or £50 with a box of paint. Extra paint will be charged at just £35 a box.

If you're bringing someone without kit, for this month only its also £50 for 2000 and a marker/mask/overalls etc. This is to encourage you to bring a friend to try out paintball so get on the phone! If they (or you) just want 1000 balls, cost is £40. Jacket potato lunch included and free tea/coffee! I'll see what I can do on the doughnut front

We'll be mixing the games up from last time to keep things interesting - hopefully double taping the bridge and the jungle to give us some space! If anyone has any ideas for different games on any of the fields, post up and we will give them a try.

Site address:

North Plantation
Hollington Road
Tean
Stoke on Trent
Staffordshire
ST10 4JT

Its 10mins from Junction 15 of the M6 and just 10mins from Uttoxeter just off the A50 (so easy reach from Derby/Nottingham as well).

Please post here to confirm names and numbers in groups and I can get you all booked in.

Any questions, just post up or pm me.

Look forward to seeing you all down there!

I am in mate for sure, as long as it is not hailing

BYO for me, keep me posted on the old paint dude!

I am in favour of opening the bridge a little, as that whole round I got myself pinned down very early on around the middle with a few others, my own fault of course but opening it up may prove a little more fun and give a few more tactical flag dashes !

Again I really want to bring a couple of people but usual excuses, main ones being they will not wont to get up early etc. If anything changes on the guest front will keep you informed.

Again really looking forward to it !

Have you ever tried a transport the VIP kind of scene, grab a lazy marshall and try to get him from A-B , preferbly on that village set up ? (Just a thought) May encourage a little more team work !

Great buddy, that's the kind of input we're after. Was also thinking of some raise the flag games on that field as well (flag poles with a red and blue flag on the same rope - pull one up, the other goes down). Having them on a couple of huts and holding them until the end of the game or something. I'm still working on it so bare with me

Chris, hope they can make it!

I will be there, any news on the paint being any different???? Improved safe zone should be excellent.
Larger field incorporating jungle and the bridge should be just what we need, I had the same problem as Intox, you get so far and then come to an impass.
Raise the flag sounds interesting just like parts of DWars. Also possibly playing across Attack and Defend field with the object being to capture the fortress and hold it till the end of the game. We could also do with more obstacles along the sides of the jungle and the bridge.

Looking forward to it.

I like the idea of the capture points, again brings more team work into the game, alas maybe a bit scary for newcomers and myself to be honest but as I get to recognise the faces in the goggles it may prove easier.

I can think of many scenarios that I have would like to see and that would be proved good to suggest and hopefully would be welcomed and implemented cost effectively for the site of course and what would prove fun for regulars and of course newcomers and it is good that ainsley is trying to promote this as well.

Take a look at some of the multiplayer first person shooters available as computer games and as what my Dad would like to say when he was in the war etc.

From a personal point of view I can be quite timid so when I am unfamiliar with something or some people I can hold back and not take chances and not say things (teamwork wise) etc.
I am trying to think of something that would encourage team work on a newcomer level which is FUN and not too serious that it would not scare anyone off.

I can be a perfect guinea pig for this, if some ideas are put forward.

Do not get me wrong we all like our Lone Wolf kind of day's but fun can be had in a group and competitively at the end of the day I am sure that is what these type of events are for, to bring new blood and to be fun and chew some bubble gum .

Just a quick update!

Popped down to the field this afternoon and the new safe zone is looking great - PLENTY of covered seating and places to put your markers

Also the paint is going to be........wait for it..........BLAZE

Can't wait!
