GOW paintball thread

[Polarbert]

Just made this here so we have our own spot to plan dates and which place is best to go to, plus what were going to do in the evening.

[Polarbert]

Right, so my thoughts were Birmingham, since that seems pretty central for everyone to travel. Meet up in the morning and do paintballing, then onto a travel-lodge/hotel for a meal and then go out drinking?

Plan or what bitches?

£50 for the full day with 1000 paintballs, or £35 with 500. Its the first place I've found and it looks pretty good.

Sounds like a plan to me. Brum = travel lodge = beer.

Make it mid to end of November and a weekend if possible though, already got the end of october begining of November off work (up in sunny Yorkshire) so wont be able to book much time later in the month. Haven't been paintballing in years.

They have two sites, one in Alton and one in Cosford, although the Cosford one has military compounds from WWII still intact!!! How ing cool is that?

Yeah, I think Rich said he couldn't do 25th November, but definately going to be a weekend.

This site lists paintball venues in and around birmingham.

Looking at the cosford site prices we could even would be forming 1 team against strangers if there is 15 or under in the group. Kinda like an extended team Leroy?

Heres another one which looks quite good, includes indoor paintballing as well

Seems we both have too much time on our hands

That one is 146miles from me.... but looks like so much fun. Indoor gaming sounds very "GOW" so might go down a treat. Their full day "extreme" package is the same price too.

I'm thinking that after a full day of running around like nutters the evening piss up might be a bit slow paced....

10th and 11th November?

I did wonder about BTaP but to be honest that may end up to be a very expensive weekend!

I'm pretty easy on venue as long as it doesn't cost the earth as I'll be traveling up anyway. November will be a bit chilly potentially, especially in an outdoor venue, but that may add to the fun - who dares crawling through the streams in the November winds?

£50 for a full day sounds like a laugh - I'll need to get some training in, I doubt I'll be able to run for a full day otherwise (and yes, something tells me I'll need to run (away from those Leroy weirdos!)

I went before and its not all running mate. You get plenty of time to rest and you can snipe people and be stealthy. It really does knock the socks off go-karting.

[GLENRED]

Count me in just let me know when

It will probably end up being paintballing the whole day going back for a couple of hours kip, then meal and drinks until you flake out again.
Cant see many of us going the whole day and early hours of the morning.

[Fidgits]

i'm up for it.

NEVER!!

[Polarbert]

Right, so provisional dates could be Sat 10th November, or Sat 17th November?

[Polarbert]

Righteo. 17th Nov is BTaP, so hows 10th November sound for everyone?

[Mannginger]

10th is good for me - I'm looking forward to this, it's been years since I've been paintballing

Phil,

We could travel up together if there's a naturally convenient place to cross paths... I think Dean's in Kent and so there will be a southerners' convoy going on... PH GOW Minibus anyone?!! I'm driving!
