Bollox ,people care about deliberate assaults with air weapons (of any sort) ,that's the 'bad press' that could again effect paintball,with a fun fair full of mackems I'm surprised people weren't encouraged to shoot at them.

Doing it Properly

Around 4-5 weeks ago the army had a charity day at Selly Oak Hospital, Birmingham. It was in aid of Help for Heroes. Its a Charity that helps our lads (and ladies) that get injured in battle.
I was there with the National Paintball Fields Crew. We had a snap box set up with targets set up and a coice of a Tiberius 8 pistol or a Tippman 98 (niether chained). Customers were given goggles and there were 2 marshals in the snap box with them (also with goggles). We charged £1.00 for 10 Aballs(reballs) There was a que outside the snap tent all day.
No accidents or incidents all day.
All money collected on the day will be added to the proceeds of a Charity Day we are holding at NPF, Bassetts Pole, Birmingham. You are all welcome to play on the day and help raise some cash for these guys that are bing flown back every day.
Check out the details here

well, despite them claiming to respond to all emails in 24 hrs, its been several days and still no real respons.
so after watching shawshank, iv decided to send them 2 emails a week untill someone responds. :)

edit:

i just recived an e-mail back from them telling me they were getting ready to respond :s

but hopefully seeing as its taken them so long, maby they are hunting down some ditails :)

i recived a letter today from sunderland council,
the basic "jist" of it, is that they are investigating the matter, so basicly, still stalling.
on the plus side they are listening.
