For Those Ready To Rock...We Salute You.



As it says in the title, we Salute you...

This blog is for every person who has stepped up to the strenuous tasks we at Battlegrounds Paintball have put in front of you and for all the blood, sweat and tears that have followed. If your reading this from an outside view - trust me there have been bucket loads of all three!

As our players come from all walks of life so do our meticulous volunteers to mention a few in no particular order:

Stewart and Robin - SCL Landscapes
Craig and Chris - M & H Carriers
Various Students - Aberdeen University Paintball Society
Family and friends of which there are too many for my fingers to type!!

Although we have received a lot of support on site there have been some people behind the scenes who have also provided invaluable support and advice over the past year including but not limiting

Jamie and Alex Burnett - Leys Estate Banchory
David Smart and Robyn Maitland - Strutt and Parker - Banchory
Mike and Irene Foster - Airphone UK - Ireland

We look forward to providing Aberdeen and Scotland with the first class paintball venue our Customers are used to in 2011 and years to come!

Shooting To Thrill

~ The only thing that overcomes hard luck is hard work. ~

Today "Mike" arrived.

This marks the start of a complete transfromation of the old Skirmish Aberdeen safety area into a rocking
BG hive like you have all come to expect. The next few days will also see a BRAND NEW GAME ZONE take shape in the form of a Sup Air Field complete with over 40 bunkers  (which look like chunks from a bouncy castle!). We will try and keep you all up to date with pics as we go and may even put a cheeky little site map up for you too :)

Thanks to all the regulars who attended our first Walk-On of 2011 on Sunday. Great to catch-up with everybody and get all your thoughts on the game zones so far (If you have any more just let us know). We can't wait to hear your thoughts on the safe zone as it develops in weeks to come.

It's great to see Paintball in Aberdeen growing again after a real lull last year. Let's make this year a great one!
