Nice one snipey will look out for you guys and will link up with you me boys have got some bounce vests and pads and the 16yr old gets right stuck in and does his own thing lol dad tends to back em up and gets shot to ribbons lol but great fun dont get me wrong lol i,m getting EXCITED lol do you purchase your paint before hand i,e preorder or what would you suggest ??
A number of the paintball trade stands offer the option to preorder paint so it really comes down to the individual/group. I personally have not ordered bulk paint in advance. I have ordered (and will be again) first strike rounds in advance as they can get used up quite quickly. The risk with not ordering paint ahead of the days is that as the Sunday game progresses, the cheaper brands normally get used up leaving slightly more expensive brands left to use.
I would definitely direct your attention to LiPs as they have preorder paint options but failing that, you should be safe just picking it up on the morning of the game. :)

Hope to see you on the day with your sons! More meat for the grinder! ;)

Like the last few years, we are going to give this a real push and try to ensure that once again, the South name comes out on top demolishing the recent success of the North.

Also going to be attending NvS this year. My first event I've ever been to!
Not to sure on what to wear there? Just standard Jersey and Pants? Or should I look into getting something camo/military themed?
Paintballs are the same thing for me. Should I just buy them before I go or try find some stands when I get there? I tend to only really use Marbalizers now, so hopefully some stands will have them?
And accommodation. I hate camping, with a god damn passion. So I'm looking to stop in a hotel over the weekend. Would that be possible at all?
Sorry for leaching off your thread Daz!

Paint is usually from £25 a box and up to anything depending on grades you go for...

Beer is restricted in the party area on the party night (sat iirc) but in all the camping areas you can bring your own, if you want to drink in the party area there is a subsidised bar, I think it's something like £3 a pint but they did some deals last year if you bought a few at once...

most importantly how much beer should you bring? enough to have a good time but not enough to look like you have a problem :)
