With the weather becoming more favorable for paintball its time to dust off the paintball gear and get back out there,
Here is a list of what is going on over the next month,
This Week
Heads up the speedball field will be closed to all on the 11th of October and hopefully reopened on the 21st, we are dropping the old netting around the staging area and placing new poles, we will keep everyone informed if this plan changes,
This Sunday
For those that haven’t been following the Facebook page. Working bee, a day to tidy up the last of a planned maintenance event, the netting on the speedball field will need to be put up and the laneway field rebuilt, a full list of the jobs that we would like to get done is on the members events page,
This Sunday
Combat Zone in Dunedin are holding their monthly Club Day, details are on the calendar in the members area, Let “Bman” know if you are going to attempt to go down for the weekend either by text or via the Otago paintball club Facebook page.
The Weeks to come
October looks to be the month that everyone kicks back into paintball, Labour weekend, 23rd through to the 25th. looks to be a big one with two paintball events happening, of note the Operation Journeys End, held at Lowburn, by Urban Paintball, We have quite a few members going to this, expect to see them there, if you haven’t registered for this, get a hold of the guys at urban to see if your name can be added to the list, it is a BYO paint event, so if you need paint for it. then let us know as soon as, we have around 10 boxes of Eliminator in stock, some Proshar Red Menace, and have some Proshar Exact arriving next week. another event happening the same weekend is the Steve Corkill Cup at Arena Paintball in Fielding, from what i have heard from talking to our members and the organizer, only a very few are attending this year, covid 19 has had a big impact on this event with much of the north island still in lockdown, we hope that the event still goes ahead and continues next year,
Next Month
Club day will be on Sunday The 7th of November, 10am normal rates apply, if anyone needs anything for that weekend let us know so that we can have it there for you,
Immortal Knights paintball team are holding a Street ball day on Saturday 6th of November, a chance for those that want to to play on a Tournament Air Ball field, details are on our events calendar, if you haven’t been there before, contact us and we can give you directions, or give Hayden Campbell a call, his number is on his profile page in the members section,
Lastly if anyone would like to provide input into this years Christmas shoot, now is the time to speak up, we do have a couple of surprises in store for everyone and if the weather holds out is looking to be a big weekend, we are looking at having a food vendor on site for lunch but would like to hear everyones thoughts on the subject first,
Stay safe out there and shoot you soon.
