It's getting warmer out, and the snow is melting, which means it's time to get out and play paintball! Next Saturday, March 13th, we're going to be heading out to Sudden Impact Paintball for a wearing of the green / St. Patrick's Day themed event. Just like last time, the cost will be $30 for entry, rental equipment, a bag of 500 paintballs, and lunch, as well as entry to a prize drawing that will be taking place later in the day. Long pants and long sleeves are highly recommended, and make sure it's nothing you don't mind getting dirty. Also, bring a change of clothes or something clean to sit on so you don't make a mess of your driver's car.

The plan is to leave campus at 9:00am that morning, and we'll be meeting at the parking lot at Lincoln and Oregon beforehand to figure out rides. If anyone who is interested in coming has a car, we'd greatly appreciate it if you'd be willing to drive. We're always in need of ride space, and if we end up with more cars than we need, there's no problem leaving your car in that lot for the day. For those without cars, it's encouraged that you throw your driver a few dollars for gas.

I'd like to give the field an estimate of how many people we're going to be bringing by the middle of next week, so if you could let me know by next Wednesday if you're planning on going, that would make his life a lot easier. You can contact me by email (cwweber2@uiuc.edu), or via the forums. Please include how many people you're bringing (bring friends- the more, the merrier) and whether or not you're able to drive (and how many open seats you'll have).

See you on the field!


Chris

So as I'm sure you can tell when you came onto the website, it has gotten a new front. I'm working on getting everything working on the new site and it shouldn't be too long before the new website has a lot of new features and perks.

We could really use some new pictures if anyone has anyone. As you can tell, the main picture in the top left is a bit fuzzy. It would be nice to get a cleaner picture with the same general shape.

I'd like to hear what everyone has to say about the new site. Any ideas?

As promised, here's some more information about the first rec game. On Saturday, September 26th, Sudden Impact Paintball is hosting a Star Wars themed big game. Entry will be $30, which includes all rental equipment, 500 paintballs, free lunch, and entry into a prize drawing, which usually includes some really cool paintball gear. Costumes are encouraged, and there will be prizes handed out for the best dressed players. Wear long sleeves and long pants you don't mind getting dirty (don't worry, paint washes out), and bringing a change of clothes or something clean to sit on so you don't get your driver's car dirty. Although the field does have bottled water and Gatorade for sale, bringing your own would be a good idea.

We'd like to leave campus by about 9:00am that morning, and we'll be meeting up at the parking lot at Lincoln and Oregon a little before that so we can get rides all figured out. We will have fliers printed up with directions to the field for anyone who is willing to drive. I'd appreciate it if you could send me an email by Saturday the 19th so that I can give the field an estimate on how many people we'll be bringing, and if you are willing to drive, please include that in the message.

As usual, feel free to ask me any questions you might have, either through the forums or by email (cwweber2@uiuc.edu).
