How to organise your next paintballing adventure

Saturday April 3

At IPGNZ we know how much effort it can take to round up your friends, family or colleagues and organise a day of paintballing adventure. Here are a few hints as to how you can make your next party easier to arrange:

1.     Talk to people. In order to generate the greatest buzz about paintballing, we found that it really helps to talk to as many people as possible.

2.     Party animals. In most circles of friends and workplaces there are a few known livewires, people with magnetic personalities that are always up for anything. Get these people involved in creating some excitement for the day of paintball.

3.     Posters. Put them up on your notice board at work.

4.     Texts. Send out some texts and ask people to pass it on to other people that might be interested in a day of outdoor adventure.

5.     Emails. Just like texts, everyone has an email address and it is a great way to spread some of the excitement and organise your paintball event.

6.     Gather entry fees early. Once people have paid you their deposit they are definitely coming. Until that time they are nothing more than maybes, no matter what they say!

7.     Deadline. Set an early deadline by which people have to have paid you their deposit (you can always extend it a bit). If people commit early then they are less likely to drop out due to other commitments.

8.     Choice of date. We can always change the date of the event if you find that lots of people cannot make the date you have set.

9.     Fun. Let everyone know how much fun this is going to be. Friendships are forged under fire, heroes (and cowards) will emerge and you and all of your mates will be talking about it for months to come.

Organising a paintball event is as easy as that with IPGNZ, so gather your friends, organise your work colleagues, tell your family and call 0800 667 118 to get the ball rolling!
