Sarah ,

Sorry to hear about your problems.

Would be nice to see you at PHS sometimes, come down to see some new faces and how PHS is growing.

Last time I played Paintball, it seemed that I got more paint balls in my mouth than anywhere else. I'm sure someone upgraded their weapon to a sniper gun. 

Good fun though, I'd do it again. 

Really need to get down PHS again, but Tuesdays are difficult being the day I have to pick the kid up :(

Paul,

We were hacking last night (Friday) I left at 00:00 as too late for old blue eyes, as open 24/7 now for members.

I've been to unreal before it was pretty good. I keep meaning to organise it again with a few mates but we never  get around to it!

I love paintball, it's a good day out.

Not sure the harsh November weather is suitable though, maybe more suitable towards spring time...?

Go Karting is another good one but its not cheap. Last time I went it cost £35 per person and there was 16 of us. The helmets drenched in sweat from the previous race though, not nice.

apart from paintball, anyone fancy joining in a team-game of DAY-Z standalone on steam? some armchair bantering and lots of zombies to be killed lol video gameplay attached

(spoiler, you relive the walking dead, except the zombies are much faster, you start with your bare hands, and you need to find tools to make weapons, food/water/heat ammo car parts and gun ammo, medical kits etc... if you get killed by a zombie then you start again from nothing... 
My experience was, if you repair a bigrig truck or a helicopter then you've got a good chance of staying alive longer.
This is a team-based game, and the map's huuuuuuuuuuuuuge)

I'd be up for karting. Fast lane I assume, they'll put on a championship night if enough of us go, got my own helmet lol

Well good response to group day, evening out.

I really don’t mind what we do, I mention paintball as never been, but I am happy with karting or whatever.

Lets kick it about a bit more and see what happens, next month or spring is fine by my.

Now ten pin is a good idea, not done that in years.
