The paintballing expedition
Want to go paintballing with us next weekend or the weekend after?
The place is Paintball Discounts (unless someone gets back to me with their great knowledge of paintballing venues in the South East) near Reading. You can find it...
...the Google Maps way
...using the company's own directions
If you don't know how to get to Reading, you probably don't live close enough to come paintballing. Once in Reading, it's a £10 taxi trip.
Costs: The basic cost is £5 for a full day (including, of course, all the kit you need like a ninja outfit and a face guard), and then you have to buy paintballs at £5 per 100. Smoke bombs and paint grenades are also available. More information is on their website. This is an awesome price. Miss it at your peril.
The email went out to about 28 people, who might end up dragging along another 12 friends/fans/lovers. Assuming a 50% hit rate, that probably means about 20 people which is the minimal number needed for a full game (otherwise we'd get other random people joining our games).
Does it hurt? and other questions: This website has some answers to questions you may have about paintballing.
Arrangements
In order to see who's available on the two possible days, please edit this page and add your name to one or both of the lists below (don't forget to hit "Save Changes" when you're done), depending on if you can make it on that day. We will only be going on one of the days, though - so if you are available on both days then put your name in both lists to avoid disappointment!
The next two Sundays are still available, and I've already made a provisional booking for Sunday 13 August - but everything is still provisional!
- We'll be dragging ourselves out of bed for the 09h15 start. Emails of complaint about this to me may be disregarded. Day ends at 16h00, at which time we replenish liquids at a pub.
- If someone would like to suggest an alternate location, please do - see above for how provisional this is.
- If I look at the lists below and don't recognise a name, I may well delete it. If you want to bring along strange people, please email me.
Putting your name on the list means that you are committed to paying £5 to come along. This is of great interest to me, because I am going to have to pay in full to book our slot. If I end up losing money because you booked and didn't turn up, I'm going to extract payment from you in blood or a highly realistic red paint equivalent.
I can make it on Sunday 13 August
...and I promise to pay Robert if he books me on the paintballing expedition.
