Swords and Ploughshares Military Vehicle Rally - Kemptville, ON - July 2 2011
Hi Folks,
I recently opened a paintball field in Kemptville, Ontario, just south of Ottawa and have concentrated in bringing realistic scenario games to the area. In the fall of 2010, after players were asking for yet another D-Day paintball game, I heeded their call and gave them an Ortona scenario game instead. Mike Calnan has been incredibly supportive of our efforts and to that end, he brought out a 6pdr to the Ortona game and fired a blank to start the day off! Needless to say, the players were, ummmm.... blown away? In return, I've decided to assist Mike in his quest to acquire a building to house the permanent collection of the Swords and Ploughshares Museum. Mike acquired the D-Day Diorama that used to sit in the old Canadian War Museum. Myself and some other modelers plan to restore it, but not until we have a home for it. Thus, the Swords and Ploughshares Military Vehicle Rally which we will hold on Saturday July 2 2011. On that day the speedball fields at the front of our property will be closed and behind them we will open a field for displaying vehicles. Those exhibiting vehicles will be admitted free and provided with lunch. If they would like to take aim at my staff, we can kit you up with paintball gear. We will be offering space to vendors. Admission prices will be posted shortly. If you have any questions, please contact me via the website linked in my signature. My telephone number is listed on the site for those that want immediate contact. Thanks for reading and I hope to see you there! Cheers! Dana P.S. For those that require accommodations, there is a Howard Johnson's literally next door to the field!

Having a Ball
Wow! Nice logo. Who did the graphics? Hopefully I will be able to drag my HUP to the event, which is close to it's original Ontario home - The S&P Museum.

That's a riot! Mike said you'd be pleased with it!
I did the logo in CorelDraw. Will probably offer T-Shirts featuring it on CafePress later. Glad to hear you can make it! Cheers! Dana

Yes it sounds like a good day out and if can support that poor misguided gunner Mike, it will be a pleasure. We have a field kitchen available if required. Gilles

Hi Gilles,
Will be great to finally meet you! As far as the kitchen is concerned, we do have a young lady running our snack bar at the moment. She might be interested in the field kitchen though! Cheers! Dana

Also, if you are "man sized" like some of are, logos on the front amplify the belly on the front.

I can see myself now ... (due dreamy harp music) Get a City of Ottawa chip wagon licence. Park on Elgin Street downhill from the National War Memorial. Sell fries and grill fried bullybeef to the summer tourists. Does it come with galvanized messtin wash tubs and surly kitchen general duties workers?

Hey Folks,
Just back from Barbados. Sorry for not posting sooner. Was at my friends paintball field which is at Paragon base. One of the playing fields is Dr. Gerald Bull's former launching site for the space gun. Unfortunately we didn't get a chance to photograph it as we were there for a night game... Next year... Unfortunately my insurance won't allow for camping (So that I don't run Summer Camps....) so that's out, but it sounds like you've found another location so that's great. Will be ironing out some wrinkles and posting more information shortly. We have our opening game on April 23rd so this is getting to be the busy season. Lastly, Gilles! I need to buy a Deuce & a half! Contact me when you can! Cheers! Dana

Dana bought a Deuce
Congradulations Dana after all these years you finally have a MV. Today Dana came over to the yard and acquired a MLVW for his paintball field. After we tune and tweak it, we will deliver it next week. You should have seen this, the deuce sat in the snowbank all winter the batteries were weak and cranked slowly but when we put the boaster cables on she fired up right away. After a gentle warm up Marc put her in low gear and drove it out of the snowbanks. Newer trucks today would of stayed in the snowbank till later this spring.
The wife will be happy one less truck in the yard. Gilles

Spoke with Mike today and he invited to attend so I assume from that that it is still on.
