Paintball II -- the revenge! CANCELLED
OK, it's time to sort out the RIBnet paint fest. If you missed it last year you can see what fun we had here!
The paintball site is a few miles north of Portsmoth and is run by our very own Andy Stevens who has promised us a good deal (you'll probably still end up spending the same amount, but you'll just use more paint!  )
They've done a load of work on the site since last year, and there's now a base camp with tea and coffee (and toilets!) and new obstacles include an aeroplane and even a tank 
I reckon that sometime in March would be good, but the date hasn't been set yet. Possibly combine it with the Solent Spin?
Ribsters, jet-skiers, speedboaters and WAFIs are all welcome (as is just about anyone else actually). So who's up for it?
John

BTW JK, is that a Freudian slip in the thread title or is it deliberate? PAINball it certainly was for me last year!

Great. Count me in. This was a great day out last year and with the added bonus of being able to give the Welsh and John Kennett a good pasting, this year is looking even better.

Can we keep this on topic? I have got a mortgage to pay!
I don't care who shoots who so long as there is LOTS of shooting!
Special discounts available to anyone bringing me a free dry suit.
AND NO SHOOTING THE MARSHALS! Well Chief Marshal, i don't care if you shoot the other ones really.
