Thanks to the original poster.

    me too-but if you read it,its a con-you have to get up to 35 friends to go each paying a £10 deposit,which is returned to you and your part in the form of 100 paint pellets which youll prob use up in 10 minutes,so your most likely looking at shelling out about £50 a man
    for the day each,so its gonna cost your party atleast £1750
    great ploy,do yourself a favour and bin it.

    I got the same thing and I agree it is a crap prize. I've been paintballing twice. Standard price is a about £10 to book which includes all your kit and you always get the first 50/100 paintballs free.
    I'm very disappointed with this, don't feel like even recording it as a win.

    Still thanks to the OP the first prize did look very good. It was a trip to russia paintballing. Just wish I'd won that.

    You're quite right, I hadn't looked at it properly when I posted yesterday. I was wondering why I did that competition then found it and realised the first prize was a trip to St Petersberg, which is the reason I entered

    Oh well....
