Dear Teams, Paintball Industry and Players,

Firstly to update you on Malaga, The Fuengirola Cup; we are very pleased to say this is now really shaping up to become an amazing event to kick of the season in the sun and is sure to eclipse last years event. We have some really kick ass stuff laid on for you including a players mega party to be held in no less than the Fuengirola Castle, which over looks the venue, with the full cooperation and support of the local council and the Mayor. With Eurosport filming the event you could also have your moment of fame as well.

Hotels are filling up fast, so if you want to take advantage of the Millennium deals offered, you need to do so very soon before the hotels open up the blocked deals to the general public.

With this in mind if you fancy treating yourself to a bit of luxury then why not stay at the Hotel Beatrice Palace Spa?! This is just 20 mtrs from the venue with great sea and beach views. We have negotiated great rates and block booked the rooms exclusively but the hotel will only hold these for another 14 days before they release them for general sale and revert to standard rates. The Beatrice is going to be the centre of life at this event with its numerous bars and restaurants, indoor and outdoor pools and spa facilities. To make your reservation email reservas.palace@beatrizhoteles.com and use key word paintball, or phone +34 952 922 000

Looking forward to seeing you all in Fuengirola Malaga and starting the season with a party in the sun to wash away the credit crunch blues. We are now pleased to announce confirmed dates and venues for Germany and the UK. These are;

Bitburg is back on the 29^th -31^st May 2009

The Millennium returns to Bitburg to the same great hotels and area, but a brand new and larger venue on the aerodrome just 500m from the old venue. Having listened to you, the players, and how you wanted that great party atmosphere back in Germany we have fixed up a great event with the Eifelstern hotel at the heart of everything. With its new bar and Nightclub as well as new clubs and bars around the hotels it promises to be just that.

Full booking info and great special deals will be posted on the web very soon so keep a look out for details.

New venue for UK

The UK event is now confirmed as once again in Basildon, London but at a new venue of Barleylands Show Grounds on the 18^th to 20^th of September 2009. Due to the development of the former venue we had to locate a new one and have come up with a great alternative. Being just 1 mile from the old Gloucester park site it offers great grass pitches and access, and being a show ground the danger of the great British weather turning it into a mud bath has gone with hard standing walk ways for the trade area and field access. Best of all we still retain the closeness of the hotels and the great leisure, restaurant, bars and clubs of the festival park.

Again full details will be posted on the web in the next few days.

As for our 5th and final venue we are still in final negotiations and will be issuing a statement very soon on this, but what we can say is that it will be an excellent and exciting addition to our series. We would like to thank all of you the players, teams and industry for your continued support and patience it has not been an easy task to pull together for 2009.

See you all on the beach in Spain.

Barry Fuggle
