We need input on this. It will be a very important decision to be made during the first meeting of the year so give me your input now so we can incorporate it into what we plan to present to the club.
Ok as most of you know we are going to try to get us an on-campus playing field. If we do the field would be open on every weekend and during the week with permission for preactices and certain tournies that we may have and possibly even have intramural paintball some time in the future. But our main concern is the financial issue. Thanks to Chris Anderson and Chris Reardon {no relation} we hope to get $1000 dollars the first year plus about $15-$25 dollars a person for dues for the year. Since during the first year we will probably not be experienced enough as a team to go to any major regional or national tourneys we don't plan on those expenses now unless we hear overwhelmingly from you that you want to go to them. So all of the first year's money could go into one of two things {well there are more options but these are the foremost at this point in time}. Option one use the money to help the A and B teams get all of the members tourney level equipment so they are ready to play one we get our skills up to where we want them. The second option is to wait and see if we could get the paintball field. Then if we get it we can use the money to buy the first field set for the field. Then the next year we can use the money then to get more sets of equip, and keep the field growing.
Just let me know what you think. The second option is a little iffy because we don't know if we can get the field. But even if not we could still buy field sets and use them when we have an outing to the local field. Either way let me know what you think and we will go from their.
