The guys went paintballing today, at the MJD Paintball range at nearby Deerhurst Inn.
Located adjacent to their airstrip, the course offers bunkers, huge tires, logs, lumpy terrain and trees through which teams prowl.
David and Mike report that Team Bondi OWNS the paintball range. (and they have the bruises to prove it)
You can rent equipment, including mask, jacket, gun, hopper and CO2 for a small charge, and the game runs nearly three hours -- or until everybody is covered with paint.
There is some concern amongst the players that in 2010 the paintball range will be shut down for the duration of the G8 Summit, which is being hosted at Deerhurst. There is debate about the advisability of having folks in masks, with paintball guns, roaming about the airstrip whilst the delegates are coming and going. (ya think????)
We've suggested to the boys that we can open our back field, beyond the Frisbee golf course, as an alternate venue for them -- it's not as sophisticated, but it's less likely to be shut down for that week!
In the meantime, MJD Paintball offers a fun place for the older kids to get into the great outdoors and blow off some steam.
