    Well done - lovely donation for the school!:T:T
  • Well done but please beware, if this is the same one a number of us won on Saturday, its a promotional thing and actually ends up costing each player £10-£50 i'm sorry to say. If you read the leaflet in the small print it says each player has to pay £10 deposit which they then exchange for 100 paintballs, it then says the average player uses 500 paintballs, so would set them back £50. :shocked:
    As long as you realise you still have to payout money its fine but its not free :(
    wins 2011 - £10 Asda gift card, 1k, burberry perfume, dolce gusto coffee capsules, 6months worth of Kelloggs Crunchy bites, M&S handbag, lego toy, SkyRim t-shirt

    I voiced my opinion on this "win" here http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1436069&highlight=national+paintball

    Personally,. i wouldnt give that to a school, i'd just bin/recycle/compost it....... maybe even burn it. :)

    Thank you, I did read the small print and realised that it will cost at least a tenner per head, I have decided to have a chat with my daughters teacher first to see if she thinks its worth the school having.
