Bucks days at Delta Force Paintball
A bucks day he’ll never forget.
It’s almost your mate’s special day.
He’s gonna tie the knot soon.
Delta Force Paintball
And you’re the man who is meant to plan the best send off possible.
What better way to send your stag off than to dress him up and send him out with a paintball gun and a few of his best mates?
Paintball is the perfect activity to get the boys geared up for a night of dubious choices and some stories you’d rather forget.
Here’s how a session at Delta Force Paintball looks for a bucks party.
You can book by calling one of our event coordinators at any time of the session. They are available and will help you plan everything to give your stag the best send off possible.
On the session you’ll arrive and get kitted up by our marshals. Here’s the chance to get you stag all dressed up in one of our Onesies, or you could all wear your own costumes. We recommend you all buy a group pack (you don’t want to run out of paintballs when the stag is on the loose!). Don’t forget to let the marshals know who the guest of honour is; they’ll give him some special treatment!
From here you’ll have a safety briefing, and then it’s time for battle!
Of course you’ll have breaks in between games, where you can rehydrate (sorry, no alcohol), and refuel for the next match. You can order pizzas for the group for lunch, or bring your own food. We recommend bringing plenty of water; you don’t want the stag getting dehydrated!
Your action packed session will see your squad battle it out in pyramids, black hawk helicopters and sniper towers, and will be a session the stag will never forget.
One of the great things about paintball is that it’s just like playing a real life video game. Your success relies on strong teamwork and cohesion, and like any game, there are rules that paintball players need to follow. At Delta Force Paintball our rules are all in the interest of your safety, and the safety of our marshals. Here are three paintball rules you have to know!
Rule One: Wear your paintball mask at all times on the field!
On the game zones there are paint balls coming from all directions, and they can come fast! Because we want everyone to leave with the eyes they came with, this is a pretty important rule. Taking off your mask means you’re risking serious damage to your eyes, and we can’t have that!
Rule Two: 3 metre rule.
In the interest of everyone’s safety, we have a 3 metre rule that must be followed at all times. You can’t shoot someone if they are closer than three metres, there’s too much risk of injury from shooting at point blank range!
Rule Three: Headshots don’t count.
No one likes to go home with a headache, so it’s simple: Don’t shoot people in the head. The shot won’t count and you will have wasted your paintballs, and that’s something none of us want.
We like to keep things as simple as possible here, so there’s not really too much you need to know. On your day of paintball the marshals will explain these rules fully. Until then I’ll keep sharing some helpful hints, we like our paintball warriors to be fully prepared for battle!
Yep, it’s that time of year folks... Offices small and large are having their annual Christmas party.
Just the words "Christmas Party" can stir up feelings of dread, excitement, and honestly, a little bit of fear. Oh, and embarrassment, let's not forget what happened last year... Organisers run through all the possible scenarios in the pursuit of the perfect day. What if there’s not enough food? What if Sam from sales gets drunk again? Is the Santa costume too much? And Secret Santa. Don’t even get me started on the stress of Secret Santa.
This year at Delta Force HQ we did something a little different. We enjoyed a delicious lunch (there was definitely enough food). And then we entered the car park (not the most glamorous of venues, we'll admit), feeling curious and excited. It’s a tradition at HQ that the day is a complete surprise, so it was a mystery. We were ready for the challenge, whatever it was.
There on the ground sat a boxed bike, a helmet, a toolkit and a bag of what can only be described as Duplo on steroids. It was simple, beat or be beaten. we had to work as a team to achieve victory. We were split into our teams (signified by some beautiful coloured caps),
and experienced a team building marathon like no other.
We all learnt a few things that day.
1. Justin can rap like no other, and has dance moves that rival Michael Jackson.
2. Terry is a master of Jenga with cat-like reflexes that we'd never seen before.
3. Sharon likes to win (we already knew that, but we think it's worth mentioning).
As the day drew to a close, we started our final challenge- building the bikes.
Team vs. team, we struggled to build the bikes as quickly as possible.
There was some stealing of tools,but a little bit of sabotage never hurt anyone.
Our bikes were certified as safe to ride.
And then it was over.
But not quite.
The sweaty, satisfied Delta Force HQ crew were in for a surprise.
The bikes we had just built were not for our own childlike amusement. Rather, these special bikes would be given to children in need. Children in our own backyard. These children were from homes affected by alcohol and drug abuse. They have endured experiences that many of us will never know. Family friends, aunties and more often than not their aging grandparents were charged with raising them. A special group called the Mirabel Foundation works with these children, to support and guide them as they grow up. They work tirelessly to provide these children with a normal, happy childhood, and that’s what the bikes were for.
Because every child deserves a bike.
We watched the kids come one by one to pick up their bikes, our awesome staff helping them to ride around our car park. They were shy at first, but after a helping hand and a smile they were grinning and racing around in no time.
It’s not often you get to experience that kind of innocent joy.
This Christmas is going to be a little more special for us here at Delta Force HQ. It’s not often you really step back to think about how lucky you truly are. We can take for granted our loving family and friends. Many of these children can’t. But hopefully a few of these children will have a brighter Christmas this year, and that's enough to keep us smiling.
We can’t wait for our Christmas party next year, though I’m not quite sure how it will possibly beat this year’s.
Have a Merry Christmas, from the Delta Force Paintball Crew.
