Paintballing

[nickyboy]

Right ho, listen up.

I have been pointed in the direction of a Paintballing venue by 2 different people recently, they have both had a days action there and have been very impressed by the venue. The place was completely rebuilt last year so is relatively new in regards to some places you can go to.

WEBSITE

The site is in 16 acres of woodland near High Wycombe, Bucks, just 4 minutes from junction 4 of the M40.

They do both half and full day packages, the full day package includes a hot cooked meal while tea, coffee, hot chocolate, squash, and water is available throughout the day.

The packages they do are as follows:

Package 1
1500 Paintballs
All Equipment
Full Cooked Lunch
Complimentry Hot & Cold Refreshments
Additional Paintballs £5.00 per 100
£70.00 Per Person

Package 2
1000 Paintballs
All Equipment Full Cooked Lunch
Complimentry Hot & Cold Refreshments
Additional Paintballs £5.00 per 100
£50.00 Per Person

Package 3
600 Paintballs
All Equipment
Full Cooked Lunch
Complimentry Hot & Cold Refreshments
Additional Paintballs £5.00 per 100
£35.00 Per Person

Package 4
300 Paintballs
All Equipment
Full Cooked Lunch
Complimentry Hot & Cold Refreshments
Additional Paintballs £5.00 per 100
£25.00 Per Person

Package 5
Purchase Your Paintballs As You Play
All Equipment
Full Cooked Lunch
Complimentry Hot & Cold Refreshments
Additional Paintballs £6.00 per 100
£10.00 Per Person

What i want to do is gauge everyones interest, it probably wont be until July time as we have events up till then. Which package do you think sounds the best? Bare in mind the fact that you will if trigger happy use 200 odd paintballs each game and the day may consist of 5-6 games. So buying in bulk beforehand will save £15-£20

I have sent the place an e-mail asking if we can use our own paintballs, they say you can on the site but i just want to double check. If this is the case then i shall purchase somewhere in the region of 5000 paintballs and sell them to you at about half of what you will pay at the venue. Or you can purchase some yourself but make sure thay are .68 caliber. You can purchase ammo etc from HERE, as you'll see you can buy paintballs, paint bombs, smoke bombs etc at reasonable prices.

For those of you who are worried about gettin hurt, they do provide full protective gear including flack jackets if needed, or go down ya local army surplus store and get kitted up

[Ph@tboy]

Comments please

I think that sounds stormin matey, COUNT ME IN!

[davescav]

Yeah, go for the cheapest package deal though, I'd pay £75 for laps on a track day or Karting, but deffinately not for paintballing. Looking good for a day out. I KILL YOU NICKYBOY!

[Puntobabe]

Nope, wont be doing this one, I bruise far to easily and I dont like guns either, they aint something to play about with even if they are paintball ones.

[nickyboy]

Fair enough Claire

[nickyboy]

Cool, got a reply back.

16 peeps or more and we get our own game and can use our own equipment, paintballs etc

Anyone got mates who wanna play?

[davescav]

Nope, no friends here Nick

[Beenie]

i'd be up for it, would only doing the £50 one though 70 odd is a bit much.

Guys, in Northampton they have had people from Delta Force selling tickets. They were offering tickets for just £6 each! Normally £25! Get free equipment, free gas and paint balls are half price! You buy them in 8's and if you but 16, you get 8 free! So i bought some lol.

Their website is www.deltaforcedirect.co.uk

But, I think this offer is only done through promoters on the street but you could try calling them.

It does look very good (Chelsea team go there and Prince Wills and Harry)

[nickyboy]

Cheers James i looked at Delta but they wont let you use your own equipment etc so it ends up being hugely expensive

[Johnny A]

I'm in, do they have grenades and smoke bombs too??

These come in really handy when your a phycho like me pinned down by a few Mig members who don't like me lmao

[nickyboy]

Yeah they do John but you might wanna buy from the link i put at the top as they'll be half the price of the ones onsite

[Johnny A]

ha ha ha, I am going to gaffer tape three grenades together

[nickyboy]

Any JohnnyA launching home made mortors from a dug out gen? lmao

[Colonel K]

cant afford it ATM Im afraid. Plus I can guarantee to get savagely murdered a few seconds into each round! lmao lmao

[clareyfairy]

Do you have to leave the game if you get hit?

Looks really good fun, i get the feeling i might be trigger happy

Although I think like beenie wouldn't want to spend over £50 say

[nickyboy]

Yeah you leave the game once you are hit, do what i usually do and stay behind a tree/bush and lie down and take pot shots at peeps as they come your way then advance via the left or right flank. You're only usually out iof the marshall says so, you can sometimes get away with it if the painball doesnt splatter properly.

Trouble is that it can be expensive you if get carried away which is why i plan to buy a load of paintballs so we can share the cost.

2000 paintballs will cost approx £30
At the price you'd pay at the site 2000 will cost £120

If i can get a load for £15 per 1000 then we can all have that many.

Yeah?

[Mongo]

Is this one open just to the mig members, or can us lowley users join in to? If so id love to come a long and join in on the fun...

[nickyboy]

Nup, this is open to all Mig users although it will be on a first come first served basis when arranged.

[Mongo]

Cheers mate membership form's now in the post anyway.

[playgirl]

I prob wouldn't need any paintballs, I'm guaranteed to get hit first!!! Just by being Blonde and forgetting to duck/hide!!

[Mongo]

When are you looking at doing this? Or am I just not reading the post!

[Johnny A]

Mongo, it doesn't matter how big the tree, you are still too big to hide behind it!

Nick, If your going to buy cheap paintballs beforehand gimme a shout when u r and I will throw £15 your way.

John.
