Editing Extreme Paintball (Ta' Qali) (section)

== History ==

=== Early operations ===

The operator's published history identifies Raymond Galea as the founder of the venture and describes its connection with his Surplus & Adventure business.[1]

Video footage published in April 2009 documents a paintball field under development at Ta' Qali, although the available description does not establish whether it was operated by Extreme Paintball.[2]

By 2011, Extreme Paintball was documented as an established recreational facility. A Malta.com tourism listing described organised paintball games, group packages, equipment rental and night-time events. The listing retains a visitor comment dated 29 November 2011.[3]

A February 2012 video titled "Extreme Malta Paintball - WSC vs PTL/IBM" documents a social paintball event at the Ta' Qali venue.[4]

=== Organised paintball and club activity ===

Extreme Paintball was involved in Malta's developing organised paintball community.

A promotional poster for an event scheduled on 25 June 2011 advertised a five-player tournament at Extreme Paintball Range, Ta' Qali, under Malta Official Paintball League (MOPL) branding. The event was promoted in aid of Puttinu Cares. MAAC published results for its first MOPL series on 26 June 2011.[5]

Extreme also developed a membership offering for regular players. A membership programme announced in March 2015 offered discounted playing sessions for members, including players who owned their equipment. A membership form publicised in January 2016 listed an annual fee of €60.

These activities distinguished the club's regular-player community from its commercial recreational bookings.
