Editing Paintball Hawkes Bay (section)

== History ==
=== Pines field ===
An announcement for the 2000 Hawke's Bay Triples identified the venue as Paintball Hawke's Bay's Pines Paintball Field on State Highway 50 at Roys Hill. Paintball Hawke's Bay and the [[Hawke's Bay Paintball Club]] jointly presented the competition, with Les Hall listed as the contact.[4]

A profile archived in August 2002 identified Hall as the field operator of Paintball Hawkes Bay and captain of the Bay Boys. Hall stated that he had been involved in paintball since 1990.[1]

=== Ngatarawa Road venue ===
On 14 September 2006, Hall announced the opening of a new Paintball HB facility on Ngatarawa Road near Bridge Pa aerodrome. He described the site as substantially larger than the previous location, with space for overnight camping and plans to develop three playing fields.[2]

The announcement advertised a friendly round-robin triples competition for the opening, with players expected from Hawke's Bay, Gisborne, Palmerston North and Wellington.[2]

The Ngatarawa Road field subsequently hosted the Hawke's Bay Triples on 7–8 February 2009. The tournament announcement gave the address as 75/77 Ngatarawa Road, Bridge Pa, Hastings, and advertised on-site camping. Post-event discussion confirmed that the tournament took place.[3]

=== Moteo listing ===
Hawke's Bay Regional Council's 2017 ''Environmental Code of Practice for River Control and Waterway Works'' listed Paintball Hawke's Bay as a special-interest user group at Moteo on the Tutaekuri River, with access by council key. The document identified Paintball Hawke's Bay among groups holding specific land-use agreements and licences to occupy council land.[5]
