Inter-university Paintball Tournament

[Steve Hancock]

I've heard there was an inter-university paintball tourny last year is there one planned for this year.

If so: when, where and who's organising it?

 

[Graham-DV8]

Yes there was m8 (I took part myself for Teesside Uni)

Contact Hatts/Gillie from 6E (makers of PBUK), for more info

 

[Gillie]

Last year it was sponsored by and held at the 6E site at Witton Castle. Late October seemed to be a good time (not for the weather) but being a couple of weeks after freshers weeks and well before any assignments and deadlines.

We would be happy to discuss the possibility of supporting another event this year.

 

[Steve Hancock]

Teeside, didn't you guys win?

Have you got contact details for the people you mentioned?

 

[Steve Hancock]

Whoo, that was quick. No sooner had i asked for contact details and they're already posted up there! Hey Gillie, if there is going to be another inter-uni i'm up for it.

We are thinking about how we can get BUSA (British University sport Association) recognition for paintball and that might have to limit it to institutions that come under BUSA's remit. I don't know whether colleges do or not. I know your part of the NUS, so it might be worth checking out.

Also it wouldn't be right shooting you little kids.

i dont think i'm letting the cat out of the bag,cause i'm not sure if its even in there yet,but,every Easter we have the student games over here in the Isle of Man.football,hockey,lecrosse the usual stuff,but we then had a phone call from a bloke who is to do with the sports counsil asking what this paintball thing was all about.after his quick 5 minute call had lasted 45 minutes he went away with knowledge that a lot of Uni's have teams and was going to try and get it put in the games.
last i heard he was doing very well with the commitee.

dont take my word that it 'will' going to happen but i hope it does it would be great for the sport.
