What a little gem of a business! This is surely to get some of the scalextric nuts excited. I went…read morethere for a kids' party (7 years old was the mean age, besides the supervising adults!) and if you can imagine a six-lane scalextric that's as big as your house, complete with lights, bridges, tunnels and hair-pins, then you'll know exactly what to expect. The place is a little dated and the technology could be better, but in terms of entertainment, providing you've remembered to pack your thermals (there's no heating inside this tin hut!) then you'll have an awesome time. Contact the owners for special events and so on; I have no idea of prices and what they do, but I know that they do thing for kids, large and small.

The sports hall here is very large with all the mod coms. Best thing about it though is as a wedding venue! Cheap! and nice looking gardens. lovely staff! You can dress the hall up really really nice! The best thing is a huge kitchen and you can arrange your own food as they aren't tied to any caterers.

Yesterday's bank holiday was fun with myself and 30 members of my youth group aiming paintballs at…read moreeach other. It was my first time at this paintball centre, so I was looking forward to it. Location: It was located in a nice area, close to people like myself that lives in Birmingham Directions: The postcode takes you to the place but due to NO SIGNAGE, about 6 vehicles went right ( because that sign says "welcome to ...., so we automatically thought that was the way to follow) we followed the path and on getting to the end, we realised it leads to a different centre and we all had to turn round on the tiny road. Proper signage will have been great to get people there on time without missing any game, as we missed out on our first game. Equipments: Good and clean equipments were given, which is a plus unlike other paintball centres I have been. Helmet, jumpsuit was clean and not dirty. Staff/ marshals: This guys are friendly and very helpfully. You can see that they know what they are doing and are passionate. The rules and guidelines were given in a creative way :) with some funny moments. Great guys! Overall: I was glad I brought my youth group here. The staff are well organised and skilled in what they do. They created a friendly environment. Everyone loved it....So it's a YES from me and 30 YES's from my youth!

It was a bit of a busman's holiday when the best man returned from Afghanistan and announced that…read morefor part of Paul's stag weekend that we'd be going paintballing. I'd always wanted to run around in a forest hunting while being hunted, and as soon as we'd arrived it was obvious from the professional set-up there that Jim's choice of Beechwood was a good one. Once we'd got kitted out, the safety procedures were explained and we went in for the first game. It soon became clear that this wasn't simply going to be a day of of hide and seek in the forest with guns. The first game we played was Tomb Raider. Here there was forest clearing, with a pyramid in the middle, with a door-hole in each face. The idea was to get to the pyramid and take an object from it before the other team. Although there were some Easter Island statues and some concrete blocks to offer coverage from enemy fire, it was going to be no walk in the park. Our team lost this one due to a bit of over-excitement and a lack of planning, but throughout the course of the day we covered 8 different scenarios, and int he end we came out the victors of the day. My personal favourite scenario was Afghan Fort in which I manged to remain undetected and shoot the last remaining member of the other team just before he got to the fort. There are lots of paintball options around the Birmingham area. Beechwood were excellently organised, their game scenarios areas are stimulating, the game areas are realistic, and the staff were fun people to host the day. I'd love to go there again soon. And you?
