Well guys....been a wee bit
soggy lately.
With all this rain the field has been unplayable. Hopefully the rain will hold off so we can play Sunday,
May 9th. Game time is 12:00 at the field at 700 North and 200 West. Keep one eye on the weather and the other on the
Games and Events page for any updates. I will let you know as quickly as possible if there are any changes.
Field/air fee is $10.00 and you can bring
you own paint. Charlie will have paint for sale @ $15.00 per 500 balls. We will have H.P. and Co2 on the field.
As soon as the field dries up we
will be scheduling some workdays to get the field back in shape. There are some downed trees that need to be removed and some
bunkers that need repair and to be remarked for identification purposes. All this rain has done some damage to bunkers and
we need to take care of this as soon as we can.
If you have any questions
and/or scenario ideas please let me or Charlie know.

Today was a beautiful day to play our first game of 2010
and we made the most of it !!! There were 18 players on the field and according to the participants a good time
was had by all.
We got off to a slow start trying to figure out how much
C02 we had on hand. There was also a little confusion about the H.P. fill station but we got everything worked out and the
games were on.
A special thanks goes out to Craig T. for keeping
the H.P. compressor going and running C02 from the garage to the field. Craig and I will start filling the H.P. tanks earlier
for the next game.
Thanks to Steve S.,Jake S., and Bob S. for coming
out. Thanks to Tony L.,Jim L. and gang for making the show. Thanks go out to Tom, Parker, Dave H., Tim, James, Evan and Dave.
All these players made this a very enjoyable day!!! It really was fun...
Eddie R. took some still pictures and some
short videos of the action and these will soon be posted on the site to update our gallery.
Next scheduled game is on Sunday,4-25-10
at 1:00 p.m. at Charlies field. Bring your own paint and the air should be on time for the start of the game.
We are going to schedule some work
days to get the field cleaned up and repair some bunkers in need of a little love. These dates will be brought up on
site and in team e-mails.
Check the Games
and Events page for any changes to the game schedule and other info. If you have any questions you can call Charlie or myself.

We had our paintball meeting last night and though the turn out was low we did come to terms on some
things.
We have an open game scheduled on April 4th, 2010 at the field at 700 North and 200 West .
If any of you need directions give me a call and I will guide you in. You will have to bring your own paint at this point.
The air we should have covered right now. Field fee is $10.00 per player and game time is 1:00p.m.. Check the site to make
sure game is on if weather looks like it may a concern.
The Children of the Corn game is being scheduled for Saturday, October 16th, 2010. Rain date will
be October 23rd 2010. Fees, times and which field we will play on will be upcoming. If you have any questions at this time
please contact me and I will give the best answer I can.
I will be posting the info on the Michigan game this week for any of you interested in going.
I am also getting some info on other similar type games so we have options as to what games we would like to try out.
I do have a question for all of you....We have always tried to have a game every two weeks.
We all know money is tight for everyone these days. My question is ...Do you want to try and play every 2 weeks or space
it out a little ? Let me or Mike R. know so we can schedule games we all can afford to play and not go to loan sharks to keep
our heads above water.
I want to thank Donnie, "Super Dave", Dave H. and gang for coming to the meeting last night. We have
a base point to start this year. Donnie also said his field could be playable a couple games this year if we want to. I am
going to take a look at his field to see what needs to be dome to play on it. This is a viable option if we want to give it
a shot.

It's a new year and time to start playing again when the weather starts cooperating. I believe a couple
of snow games would get us off to a good start!
Last year didn't end the way I had hoped since the Corn game didn't go off. That won't happen again!!!
I have plans to continue with our night games and get back to some of our tournaments again. I will have
to have help from you guys since I can't depend on anyone else to ease the "pain". Everytime we leave a part of the plan to
someone else they let us down and I will not let this continue to happen!! We have put on some good games for many years without
outside help and we are going back to the old way of doing things. All major decisions will be made by the team and the team
only !!! That's the way it will be from now on!!! Any ideas from team members will be welcome and given attention to.
We need funds to hold these games so we all need to catch up on member dues. At $5.00 a month/$60.00
a year this is still the best deal around. We need money to operate as does any other team. Also remember that all paid members
have a say in how team money is spent, not just Mike and me.
Here are some things we need to think about and that will cost money to achieve. We need to
find a way to have paint at the field for players and how to properly store the paint. Selling paint is another
way to make money too. We have H.P. but we still need to have CO2 at the field. We make money on air too. Remember...our prices
on paint and air have always been very reasonable and will continue to be that way. We need new members and to have all
members, new or old, up to date on dues. As I noted before our dues are a good deal.
