what denotes a newbie by the way and do you do any walk ons, if so how often?

many thanks,
Scotty
Because of the problems in defining a "newbie" last year, we decided to run these training days rather than newbie tournaments, to prevent people coming down just because they enjoy shooting the sh!t out of people who haven't played much/at all, then taking home prizes.
Because these are ran more as training days, it doesn't really matter that much on your level of skill, as long as you want to come down and train. Some people there may have never played before, some a few times, and some lots. But as long as you want to come down and hopefully learn a few things, then you'll be fine.
In regard to walk-ons, we alternate when we are open with NPBA so that both sites/teams can train with each other. This weekend NPBA (stoke) was open so we are opening next weekend and so on (neither of us are open on weekends with tournaments). We try and post up when we are open in the training sites section, so keep your eyes open in that section.
Hope that helps! :)


Hi

I'm totally new to the world of paintball and i'm looking to attend your newbie day on saturday 4th. Is it still going ahead? Am i alright to just turn up by myself and what should i bring with me?

Thanks
Hi mate, yep this is still going ahead.
If you need to hire gear or buy paint we ask that you let us know in advance so that we can make sure we have enough for everybody.

Excellent
well i'll be needing to hire a marker and a mask. I've been REALLY tempted to just buy myself a mask but i'm trying not to get carried away before ive come down to a day like yours, it sounds exactly the kind of thing i need. How much cash should i bring then, for a marker, a mask and i guess a box of paintballs?

Thanks,

Kyle

The cost is £15 for your green fee and £25 for a box of paint, so £40 alltogether.

Looking forward to some practice and stuff, but will we get to play some games aswell or is it just all drills ?
About 50/50 mate, but if the majority of people want to do something, as long as people let us know then we'll do that.

So if there's anything different anybody wants to do/not want to do, or a specific area people want to practice then let one of us know so that we can do it.

Hey Luke,
I've been looking at this thread for some time.. since i missed the last nooby day in march.
I'm hopefully going to bring my mate along too so will need 1 box of paint EACH, as long as we can get the day off work.
We wont need any kit hire tho as we got out basic kit and markers, just need some practice! :)
Stick us as a To Be Confirmed mate and will give you the heads up by thursday latest.
Thanks mate, Hopefully see you all there! =)
