    Paintball

    I used to play quite a lot while I was at Uni and while I was living in the US but I haven't really played much for a few years.

    Does anyone know of any sites nearish to Oxford which allow/encourage walk on players rather than just the crappy corporate/stag do places?

    Ooooh! Sounds fun! I must fix up my old marker...

    Would now be a bad time to talk about iron-man paintball (played in shorts and t-shirts )?

    There's a fair few places round the home counties way that do walk-on, team days.

    I went to one once and the amount of paint flying was terrifying...

    Have a google and phone a few up.

    Re: Paintball

    I'll look into arranging something when I get back from boarding on the 9th/10th March.
    Maybe go for April time?

    I'll plan one for the south then, there seem to be some good venues around.

    I'm williong to put people up in MK and I'm sure Moby is too if he's in

    How about this one: Paintball Milton Keynes, General Information

    Re: Paintball

    I went with my squadron last year and it was great fun until the last free-for-all round. That hurt... a lot. Someone shot me in my hand and I dropped my gun. Was screwed then .
    Depending where abouts in the south it is, I may or may not need a place to crash, but would definately try to attend.
