It never ceases to amaze how a game of strategy and controlled aggression can bring people from all walks of life together to achieve a common goal, and in this instance it was to have the experience of a lifetime! Day Four, the Sunday club, 8am calls for most teams. Some of theses teams had played till 10pm the night before, so there was sleep being pried out of weary players eyes, pods being slowly filled, guns getting new batteries and a general feel of quiet excitement filled the Matsuri hall. Initial games were called, nervous players entered the field awaiting that last 10 seconds to play for their lives and countries. After those first games found some teams working on new strategies, others feeling confident having blitzed the team, and those yet to play were off finding a good strong coffee! Thank goodness for 100 Plus and Cat in the Box with their coffee stand! dECEMBER 2013 Photo by Jenelle Somerville
