Paintball

Posted on March 8, 2011 by | Comments Off

12 people woke up on Sunday morning to find their limbs black and blue with bruises and muscles aching after a long and hard day of vigorous exercise running around fast attempting to dodge paintballs, paint grenades and smoke bombs all in the name of winning points in frenzied, crazed exhilaration.

This is the day that LhivE, became a united tactical unit, had *lots* of exercise and enjoyed tremendous fun.

The day started with the Marshalls diving all present (about 100) into teams (we became Black Ops ;-) and given a very comprehensive safety talk on how to conduct ourselves and use the equipment safely.

We were all issued with a.68 calibre semi-automatic paintball gun with a 200 shot ammunition magazine, the author of this article took the game quite seriously by shouting “My rifle is my best friend. It is my life…

The games were a flurry of excitement, capturing the flag, scoring goals, protecting a VIP member of your team and general free for all’s (all whilst getting your clothing and boots filthy dirty and not caring about it one bit)! You don’t need to be fit to play the game but you need stamina and not be afraid of getting hit by paint balls traveling at 200 miles per hour and the determination to succeed when your enemy is advancing toward you.

We encourage anyone who is curious about paintball to give it a try and on behalf of everyone who had a thoroughly good time on Saturday, thank you to LhivE for organising the event. We look forward to another one soon.

Join our Walking Group in the Leicestershire Countryside

Posted on February 9, 2011 by | 1 Comment

LASS are keen to improve the health and wellbeing of all individuals from all cultures and ‘walks’ of life. We are arranging short walks within Leicestershire to appreciate the beauty and scenic value of our county, whilst providing the opportunity to meet new people and to get to know your local walking environment.

The walks are led by Volunteers to ensure your safety, and most importantly, to ensure you have a good time. We plan to schedule the walks on the second Sunday of each month leaving LASS at 12:00 noon (in the van to the walking area if you need a lift!). We aim to leave the start point, each time at 12:45.

Out walks will be short, (between 4-6 miles), gentle and friendly. They are tailored to match the ability of those walking. (Please bring a packed lunch and any refreshments you may need.

The health benefits of walking for just 30 minutes a day speak for themselves. You stand a good chance of enjoying improved mood and wellbeing, help in keeping your weight (if you need to), stronger bones, muscles and joints, improved sleep and reduced risk of heart disease, certain cancers and type II diabetes.

If you’re interested, please contact Julie or Drew, on: 0116 255 9995 / 07920 506317

Current walks are scheduled for the following dates:

Feb 13th 2011, in Laughton

March 13th 2011, in Hathern

April 10th 2011, in Lubenham
