ive kept up with the paintball thread on the forum for the past week now and couldnt help but wonder if it would be at all possible for an organised paintball massacre here in the NW..
as im quite new i would not think it a great idea for my sorry organisatioanl skills to be used but a more established and respected member of SH could take up the challenge..
i must make this clear...it is ONLY with a view to a great time and a good laugh i make this post...it has nothing to do with the wish to see blue..red..shell..or any other lovely lady rolling round in the mud with 20 B+H in the hat band of their hats....
erm.....excuse me a moment.........

Errrmmm and how would it work precisely?
Why not find a venue, price it, pick a date, then go for it.
Not having been here long is no barrier to you organising an event, it may just limit how many people decide to support it.
If you go for a date next summer, open a post, and put a link to it in your signature, anyone interested can contact you.
I'd suggest asking for the post to be locked until you are ready to start collating names, but it is a way of advertising it without constantly bumping the post.
How succesful it is would depend on how frequent a visitor you are to the site. If you never post, no-one will ever know about it. If you post frequently, people will know about it, and know you and will then be able to decide if they want to go.

Maybe I should elaborate a bit on my remark that you have only been here for five days.
As Kat says, this is it in itself no bar to organising some social event for people here, but in the time that I have been a member here, many people have joined the forum and begun posting very enthusiastically, and being very eager to join in with as many SH-organised events as possible. Some of the people in this category are still around, but quite a few disappeared as suddenly as they appeared, after various lengths of time. The only way to convince people that you are genuine is to stick around a while longer, carry on joining in, and be patient. I admire your enthusiasm and your enterprise, and I don't mean in any way to be unfriendly, but some people are just a bit suspicious of people who are as quick off the mark as you are. We've seen it before.

All credit to you for wanting to give something like this a go.... the social meets arranged on the site do tend to get a lot of interest and as there are lots of members from the NW on here I'm sure paintballing would be popular and well attended. However, to further what Kat and Mike have said, organising socials is not as easy as it looks. I've organised several Manchester socials that have attracted 30 people or more, and plenty of smaller ones too, so I do know how tricky it can be. The main problem is knowing who to invite. I'm on here all the time and know lots of people, and sometimes I have to ask for advice about certain members who have asked for an invite. As a noob, your problem would be that you don't know anyone, so how would you know who was OK and who wasn't? When I organise socials I am reluctant to invite anyone who has been a member for less than a month unless they have been a regular and amusing poster and it is obvious they are genuine. Even then I would have my reservations. You could of course ask the regs for advice, but at the end of the day if something went wrong or someone behaved like a dick it would be up to you as organiser to sort it out. I'm not knocking what you're thinking of doing, but maybe just saying think about it some more first, or maybe stick around for a bit longer and get to know a few people before you attempt to do this. If you are intent on doing this soon however, why not get a couple of the regs to help you out with the list?.... that's if anyone will help you of course

thanks for all the support and suggestions 
i understand and take on board the points raised about me being new to SH...
if the post was about arranging a private or public party/munch i would expect people to make no replies whatsoever due to me being new and knowing few people...
but the idea of having an organised activity such as paintball would i should think make it hard to participate in other things of a sexual nature...this sort of activity is a great way for people like myself and others to meet more people in our area and for the more experienced members to meet friends in a large group and have a laugh to boot
i would organise such a get together myself if people were interested and werent bothered about a new person getting involved...
equi-princess i would drive down and pick you and partner up heehee

Yes, you have just defined what a social event is. Well done. Exactly what ALL the social events on SH are about.
However, you have missed the point. How do you know as a noob, who is OK and who isn't? We've had the odd problem at socials with people thinking cos they are in a gang of swingers that anyone is up for it or coming on too strong. So, how would you know how to avoid these people? You only need one dick to put a downer on an otherwise good event. Are you prepared for this responsibility?

erm essence ...it usually consists of 2 sets of people who start as friends laughing and joking
it transpires into blood curdling war crys and camouflage painted faces and that eternal phrase from behind you
"go on punk make my day"
Sorry mate - I think I missed the 'NW' in your original post. I thought you were talking about a virtual paintball exercise 
not a real life one! Stupid me!!Mind you Blue's right but having said that every organiser does not know all the people attending their meet - it'd be impossible. It is possible to set rules as to how long people have been a member and whether they've joined in enough to show who/what they are.
So if you set a cut of date of say 1 June - seems reasonable - you can organise it but you can't go!!
Only joking - honest!!
