Staingrad 3 Scenario Game:Last weekend saw Bullswood host Our yearly Scenario event, Stalingrad, for Paintballers with their own Paintballing Gear. The Germans drove tanks at the Russian Cement Fortress, the Russians charged the Russian lines - we even raised £455 for Help For Heroes - Awesome! |

Let the Tank take the strain....Some of you may have spotted a large hunk of armoured car in the car park on site - well its my new toy, a 1957 Humber Pig fresh out of Northern Ireland complete with bullet holes! Now the "Pig" has been re-built, the plan is to save your tired legs at the end of the day by trucking you all back up to the main car park with a free tank ride (assuming it starts - it is rather old!) - AWESOME! |

NEW GAME ZONE DETAILS - NOT CALL OF DUTY:Wow, we can now confirm we are building a new game zone - Not Call Of Duty which is to be a re-creation of the courtyard area of the Strike map. This map has been picked as it offers the best combination of features for paintballing. Expect to see buildings, temples and a rather big statue of Saddam (not sure how to create this yet.....). Due to the size/complexity of this game zone it will be a lengthy Autumn/Winter project - a blow by blow build will be posted here! | |

Transport goes green at Bullswood Skirmish:
All businesses in this day and age are looking at ways to lower their carbon footprint - always a challenge in the leisure industry - but the pioneering people at Skirmish Paintball East Grinstead came up with a novel aproach.
Dan, owner and manager at Bullswood Crawley said "We were looking into new company transport when a friend suggested an old Landrover would be perfect, so we researched the net and soon found that these vehicles score twice on reducing your carbon footprint. Firstly, if looked after, they can go on forever - reducing their imbedded energy as you don`t need to scrap them after 10 years. Secondly, if you pick the right model, they run really well on Vegetable Oil which is well known to be almost carbon neutral (carbon that escapes as part of the combustion process is absorbed by the next crop)"
Rather than trying used chip fat, Dan has stuck to fresh vegetable oil "I thought about using used oil but upon further investigation it was clear that used oil requires a lot of work before it can be confidently used, where as fresh oil which I purchase from Bookers works a treat!".
Another question that many peolpe have is one of legality "the law changed about 16 months ago and it allows you to use up to 2500 litres of oil per year before any tax is due - thats a lot of oil!"
Does it really smell of chip fat - oh yes!
