Poxx Bar Gig & SVS Paintballing

Although Summer is technically over, it isn't officially over for the SVS yet!! The first three weeks of September were filled with various activities including a session of Paintballing, a Canoe Training Session in which members attained their One Star Award, a Gig organised by members of the Unit which raised funds for the Unit and various social activities. apart from that members of the Unit added the Troop and Pack Summer Camps as part of their Tour of Duty or just to lend a hand.

Luca, Sam and some of the other Ventures organised a gig at Poxx Bar which featured The Highway, Retrophytes, DJ BOB and others. The evening acted as a social activity with some brilliant entertainment.

On Saturday 20th the SVS RV'd at Rinella for a session of paintballing. We all left the field with some battle scars but the worst was Terrence who was executed by firing squad (see photo above).

The weather was great for paintballing, not too hot and no rain clouds in sight! The teams were evenly split with 7 recruits againts 7 ventures in the (blue team and green team respectively). The green team had some more experience in the sport since all the members had played at least one time before while the recruits had never been paintballing. This meant that in the first couple of games the green team overpowered the blues because of a clearer strategy.

Later on in the morning the Blue team got used to the field and started getting back at the Greens even taking over their base in one of the games. Although the blues got on their feet towards the middle of the game the Green team still went home as the winners.

more news from the SVS coming soon!!
