Hi
I came across your forum as I was doing some work online in regards my father Dave Pellett. I thought it might be of interest for you or others in the paintball teams from "last century" to know the sad news that Dave passed away a fortnight ago, age 71 at his home in the far north, Mangonui, that he moved to once he had retired from Tactics / Splatman. His time running the fields was fondly remembered at his funeral, along with his military career in the RNZAF, and later years as a music teacher to young children in the Far North.
