Scottish University Paintball

No such thing as a dull day since we have been back in action and today was no exception! Up at the crack of dawn preparing for another busy weekend at the site, made especially busy as we headed to Stirling University today!


The usual suspects from Aberdeen University Paintball Society (AUPS) accompanied us to the first Scottish University Paintball Conference, hosted by Stirling University Paintball Society (SUPS). Although the first meeting of it's kind it proved to be a fruitful one (despite the lack of reps from Dundee University Paintball Society and Edinburgh University Paintball Society) with the first two trial tournament dates confirmed for the 26th of Feb (to be held at either A1 Paintball or Terminator Paintball) and the 17th of April ( to be held at our very own Battle Grounds Paintball Aberdeen).

With so many new faces creeping onto the tournament paintball scene this year is set to be an exciting one! Couple this with the installation of fantastic quality tournament fields at BG and you'd have to be nuts not to want a slice of the action.

The most fun you'll have in the woods with your clothes on.... ;)

Another awesome group visited Battle Grounds Paintball Aberdeen today in the shape of a bunch of lively boys and girls from Aberdeen College! Although the weather wasn't all that great the paintballs were flying and the banter was flowing. The village saw it's first full action game since the construction of the church (although the church bell is yet to come) and more ideas were chucked into the melting pot for "The Graveyard". We took delivery of a new batch of 3 minute burn smoke grenades which really did bring the game zones to life.

This next weekend is set to be a busy one.... a couple of groups out on Saturday and, of course, our monthly walk-on on Sunday. We are ready to rock with a fresh order of paint winging it's way to us and yet more plans in the pipeline! Time is really starting to crack on and as such - if you want to have your say about how the game zones are developed pipe up now (or at least very soon!).

Battle Grounds Paintball Aberdeen also had a couple of very exciting meetings today regarding some sup-air walk-on's hosted by our resident tournament paintball team Aberdeen Fusion and about a potential online offer. Watch this space for more news on these!

G out!

The Skirmish is over but the Battle Grounds has just begun!

So... after a long 9 months searching Battle Grounds finally cracked it! We have just celebrated our second month in business at our brand new site, and boy have we been busy. This weekend saw the completion of new buldings in "The Village", erection of yet another new watch-tower and potentially the last couple of games the old Skirmish safe zone will see. Plans over the next two weeks include a complete rebuild of the safety area injecting a little of the good old Battle Grounds magic into the new site.

This weekend has also been one of the first without any sign of snow on the ground :) Three groups enjoyed dry coveralls, fog-free masks and cosy toes! This type of weather really reminds us all here at BG of the summer to come and has most definately got us planning yet more improvements and new additions.

Keep your eyes peeled as we will attempt to keep you all up to date on progress, special offers and any exciting news over the coming months.
