Sat 17 Paintballing.
0900 hrs

Calling all you sharp shooters out there who don’t mind getting covered in paint!! I am organising a paintballing event at Sabotage Paintball in Swanbourne (nr Winslow). They have a special spring offer of a full day’s paintballing for only £7! This includes all the kit -Gun, Goggles/Mask Coveralls, Battle Hood, Ammo Pouch, Body Armour, 100 paintballs and even a hot jacket potato for lunch with a choice of fillings and refreshments throughout the day. What a bargain! For those female players who would prefer it, they have a limited number of lightweight body armour available. The normal cost of an all day session is £33 (although this includes 500 paintballs) so this is a good opportunity to try out paintballing with the option to purchase extra paintballs at a cost of £6 per 100. The day starts at 9am with registration and kit issue. If I manage to get 15 people to go then they will chuck in an extra 500 paintballs free - so what are you waiting for?! If you want to check out the website browse to www.sabotage-paintball.co.uk
