Hi!

Central Florida Paintball (CFP), one of the premier fields in Florida and well-known well beyond state borders, is facing a crisis with the county that they operate in.

The operation's owner has created a simple Website to give the data about this: http://helpcfp.info/

In a nutshell, on July 12, they have a hearing with the county commissioners which will determine if they can continue operations.

I've had a good time playing scenarios, rec ball and various tournaments at CFP. I also have a fond spot for the place because it is where the first 2-man/10-ball tournaments were held. I'm not going to take the time to count the number of fun days of play that I've had there.

I told the owner that I would help get the word out. Since CFP serves players from all over the U.S., even those from around the world, letters from people anywhere are valid.

Take a couple of minutes to look at the website (above) - it is a very simple site, send a message and make a call.

Best of all, in addition to writing/calling, is being at the hearing on July 12. Logic is not a predictable winner in these things. Most often, the win goes to lots of preparation, lots of communications (letters/calls) with good manners and respectfully done and lots of people in the room at the hearing - all three of those. The last two being most valuable.

I'm going to be there (I'm driving over from Clearwater a little early so that I can have lunch in town). I hope you can, too.
