Inter-LUG Paintball
by Alasdair G Kergon 14 Jan '03

14 Jan '03

Anyone interested in taking part or co-ordinating this on behalf of OxLUG? Alasdair ----- Forwarded message from Jono Bacon <jonobacon(a)yahoo.com> ----- It is looking like each LUG will need to provide a team of 5 players. Each team will play in a series of playoffs to determine which team is the winner of the event. The location of the paintball site is likely to be in North Yorkshire (Barnard Castle). The reason for this is that my brother runs a paintball field, and as such I can work more closely with him organising it and hopefully get a decent discount. Note: you will need to make your own travel arrangements to the site. the dates of the event have not been confirmed yet, but it is likely it will be held on a saturday (and sunday if there is more interest). What I need to know from you guys is the teams that you are submitting. Could each LUGMaster send me an email to jono(a)kde.org with the following details: - LUG Name - The name of the five team members - Any dates when the team are not available LUG's are are welcome to club together to form teams, so if one lug has two interested people and another has three, you can form a dual LUGged team. Could those LUGmasters who have lugs that are not getting involved please send me an email saying you are not interested. I am going to be hopefully checking each LUG in the UK to ensure they know the event is taking place and have an opportunity to attend. I will let you all know specifics as I get them, but the sooner I get emails from interested parties, the sooner I can begin sorting out dates. Cheers, Jono ===== Jono Bacon - http://jono.dyndns.org/ KDE Developer - Freelancer - Musician
