MEMBERS FIGHT IT OUT!

It was a dark and gloomy day when the split between certain Deaf Club members became very obvious. It was Jonny Palmer trying to dominate Jonathan Nelson. At first it seemed that it was going to be a gentlemanly affair, but it soon became clear that the word 'battle' would do little to describe what followed as the two opposing sides lined up to face each other with their protective wear on, and their paint guns at the ready.

After a very short time it became clear that age has a few advantages. Jonny Palmers team may have been a little slower off the mark, but they soon got their eye in and proved to be reasonably good shots considering their age! The younger team led by Jonny Nelson took pity, and allowed themselves to be hit a few times in order to pacify their opponents.

After an exhausting day, the youngsters finally retired, narrowly beaten by the better(?) team.

A good day was had by all, and if we go again then do come along and join in.

Our congratulation go to David Foot, who managed to make a few good scoring hits, including the hit taken by the instructor who was the referee. Don't try this on the football pitch David 'cos not all refs have such a good sense of humour!

Many thanks to Jonathan Nelson who organised this event.
