Paintball Direct Speedball End of Year Blowout

[Wheelz]

Well it's all go for 27th Dec. Field will be up on Friday morning 26th (Boxing Day) for anyone wanting to have a practice run. The intention is to start earlyish in Saturday 27th - 9.30, depends on numbers.

You can stay at the site with camper/tent or bring a sleeping bag/air mattress and sleep in the hall or one of the changing rooms for free on 26th and 27th. Showers available at no charge for any that stay over Saturday night.

Sunday morning we can have "grudge match" challenges or "free for all" with everyone in, or training sessions or anything else that comes up.

I am organising the local surf club to man the kitchen and bar (upstairs) for evening "refreshments" and breakfast both Friday night, Saturday and Sunday morning. We'll have paintball DVDs running in the bar night before.

Food including BBQ steak sandwiches plus soft drinks available on site on Saturday

The venue is Te Kiri Hall, Eltham Rd, Te Kiri, 10 km inland from Opunake.

Paint (FPO): Pro- $70/box, Tournament- $65/box, Field- $55/box

Air (compressor) and CO2 fills available on site.

$15 walk on fee per player, 5 man teams.

Depending on team numbers, will probably split to two divisions. Will have paint for prizes.

EFTPOS available on site.

Intend to have clay bird shooting available also.

Any profits will go to the Opunake Surf Life Saving Club.

Teams should register at paintball@corkillsystems.co.nz. by 20th December latest.

Any questions, email or phone 0800 758559 (SKULLZ)

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks and regards,

Sounds bloody awsome Wheels!
Although I might be a bit busy already on Boxing day...:dance:

Bit of a shame really. Sounds like it will be lots of fun.

[Wheelz]

Now what could possibly keep you busy on Boxing Day? ;)

[martyb55]

Well it involves me on a crotch rocket screaming around a curtain cemetery you may know about...

And all going well keeping the rubber side down!

[Wheelz]

Cemetery circuit? In Wanganui? On Boxing Day?

[crapinator]

I always like watching stroud, even though if he does look like a gorilla on a clown bike on a 600.. looks much more at home on a thou though...

Might take the bike for a scoot this afternoon if the weather holds.

A few years ago at least! hehe, my flatmate has gone every year for 3 years now I think.

[Wheelz]

Sry guys.
My first reply to Marty had a "wink" in it. ;)
I've lived in Wanganui all my life and been to many cemetery circuits. lol

LOL

I was beginning to wonder what sort of sheltered existence you were living if you live in wanganui and hadn't been to the races

[martyb55]

Sorry Wheelz, Didnt mean to turn the announcement of your event to be over ridden by race talk...

If you go to the racing, feel free to come say gday.
Ill be on the #55 Honda CBR600rr with bright red leathers.
Wont be able to miss me!

Carry on people ;)

[Wheelz]

Sounds just like last year ;)
Thanks bud, although I'll be shootin' folks on that day.

[Icharus 461]

Can you pay on the day? and will there be teams needing an extra player or two?

[Wheelz]

I'm waiting for confirmation, but I believe it's pay on the day.
Team top-ups? Give Steve a ring on 0800 SKULLZ

Awesome event Steve.
Thanks for hosting such a fine event.
I know I can speak for all who attended as I only heard comments of praise.
It was terrific to see so many new teams and players all contributing to the friendly and sociable atmosphere.
And big thanks to the Surf Club for the meals (although we had to take off early) they were pretty tempting to be late home for after a big day. I hope you did alright out of it. Worthy cause.
Looking forward to it being an annual event .... Steve? ;)

[martyb55]

House Steiner!??
Blast from the past!

Where are the pics???????

[Wheelz]

Pics?
There were many cameras out there but I wasn't in control of any of them.
So if anybody has any, please post or provide links. :)

[thekeewee]

Awesome day. i'd like to say a huge thanks to Steve from POTW. hope this becomes an annual event!
