Dear Chris,
On behalf of the staff and students at Wapping High School, I would just like to say a big thank you for how well organised our paintball experience was.
Everyone throughly enjoyed it and we all have the bruises to prove it. For many of us it was the first time we ever played paintball and hope to play again in the future.
I will definitely be recommending your centre to other schools and hope to see you again next year.
Once again, thank you :)

Which Sport Should Paintball Replace at the Olympics?
28/07/2016
When it comes to showing off athletic prowess - there’s no event quite like the Olympics. But our question is; why isn’t paintball included? With events such as tug of war and underwater swimming having made an appearance at previous Olympics, we’re sure there’s an argument for paintball to be named an Olympic sport, too!
There’s already a paintball world cup including teams such as San Diego Dynasty and Moscow Red Legion, the next logical step is the Olympics!
To be in the Olympics, a sport must be recognised by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) but even then, it may not be included. For example, bowling and chess are recognised but not included. We’re sure that if bowling can be recognised, paintballing can!
Olympic sports must work to make the sport more appealing - what’s more appealing than shooting people with paintballs? Plus, paintball requires discipline; it has rules and includes competition as required by all Olympic sports – should we just submit the form to the IOC now?
We’ve made a list of the most undeserving sports in the Olympics, and we want to know what you paintball fans think! Which sport should paintball replace at the Olympics? Let us know in the poll below…
Who Would Win This Heroes vs. Villains Fantasy Paintball Face-Off?
21/06/2016
History is littered with brilliant battles and crushing contests. Ever since early modern humans first etched written words onto the walls of their rudimentary cave dwellings, records have been kept of thrilling encounters between famous enemies.
The Greeks gave us Zeus versus the Titans, while the Bible saw David take down Goliath in the most unlikely of matches. More modern day storytellers have put the Jedi up against the Sith, seen Batman take on Superman, and pitted Arnie against just about every nightmarish creature you can imagine, from a psychopathic robot of the future to an invisible alien hunter.
The latest Captain America movie placed one set of Marvel Superheroes against another, which got us thinking – what if we put a team of heroes against a team of villains in a paintball battlefield? Who would win?
So we could see Game of Thrones’ Hodor fighting side-by-side with Ripley from Aliens, against a team of villains led by Boba Fett and the Joker in a Black Ops-style battle – who would get the biggest killstreak, and would any zombies be released to add to the mayhem?
This is a something we’ve given some serious consideration to, and we still can’t come up with a definitive answer – so it’s over to you!
Below are two teams, made up of the good, the bad, and the plain ugly of pop culture. All you have to do is decide who you think would have the upper hand and let us know in the poll.

Which Guy in the Stag Party are You? – The Winner of a Paintballing Experience at Mayhem
21/04/2016
We all know that there are certain ‘types’ in any group, but this is never more prominent than the boys that get together for a stag do. Stag dos bring together all kinds of people, some of which might not know each other, and is a time when you really see who’s who in the group.
We asked you to find out which member of the stag party you would be in our fun personality quiz. Were you The Sensible One that hit the hay early, or The Boozehound that could always be found ordering “just one more round” at the bar?
If you haven’t already taken the quiz to find out your Stag Style, you can still do so here – and don’t forget to send it to all your mates who are heading on stag dos themselves this summer! We’re happy to announce the lucky winner of this competition – winning paintball for themselves and 5 friends – is Liam Pinder! Well done Liam, we hope you enjoy your paintballing experience at Mayhem. And if you didn’t win but you’re still looking to plan a paintballing day out for a stag do in London / Essex, get in touch with us to discuss our packages – we’re stag and hen do friendly and would love to show you and your party a great time!

Guide to Being the Best Man

Guide to Being the Best Man
Lock, Stock and One Smoking Barrel
At long last! Your friend/cousin/brother has finally acknowledged that you are indeed the best man. Once you’ve high fived his lesser mates, had your official ‘Best Man’ T-shirt made and completed your victory lap there are a few things to start considering in your quest to prove just why he was right to pick you.
Planning
Being a best man is no free ride, there’s plenty of planning ahead as the blushing bridegroom is about to face a few major meltdowns (his own as well as his fiance’s) so time away for him to clear his head and take on his share of wedding planning is vital. And of course everyone knows men do their best thinking down the pub. It will also give him time to let off steam away from his beautiful fiancé who has quite possibly turned into ‘Bridezilla’.
The Stag Do
One of man’s most sacred rites of passage, a chance for him to prove his macho side after weeks of talking colour schemes, flowers and wedding cakes. It’s also a chance to give the stags a chance to stich him up, stag-style. Well it is traditional after all.
There’s no finer place for some stag party fun than a paintball field, it’s a stag party “Call of Duty” where all the guys can man up and do battle.
Top Tip – While aiming to give the groom a complete Dulux makeover it’s important to keep mummy’s little soldier safe so give him a Hi-Viz suit to wear so he can’t get lost. The fact that he’ll then be easier to see/aim at is just a lucky bi-product of you thinking of his welfare. Just make sure you take him home in one piece, you don’t want to face the wrath of ‘Bridezilla’.
The Best Man Speech
It’s the one part of being the best man that is most likely to give guys sleepless nights. You are under serious pressure to deliver a speech of epic proportions and most of all BE FUNNY! Too many best men repeat the same old tired jokes that everyone has heard before. Don’t be that guy.
SimplytheBestMan.co.uk have a complete speech writing system written and compiled by professional comedy writers. That means you’ll find hundreds of jokes you can be sure none of the guests will have heard before but will help you create a legendary speech.
The Big Day
Being the best man on the wedding day is more than just delivering a killer speech and dancing with hot single bridesmaids, there’s a few key roles you’ll need to perform;
Groomsmen Quite often there are younger groomsmen who won’t have been to a wedding before so assign one of the older guys to chaperone ring bearers or young ushers.
Rings It’s likely either the bride and/or groom will be nervous during the ceremony and it’s common for shaking hands to drop the rings. Make it easier for them when presenting the rings by placing them on your open palm rather than keeping them in the boxes or clasped in your fingers.
Photos Getting everyone together for the photos can take an age, which is a worry when there’s a free bar to get to, so help speed up the process by being on hand to help the photographer round up the right people to appear in the right photos.
Getaway Car Don’t forget to pimp the couples getaway vehicle. Have a bag handy with shaving foam, lipstick, toilet paper and other materials to make sure they leave the wedding reception in suitable style.
