Editing Malta Allied Airgunners Club (section)

== Formation of the paintball section ==

On 26 November 2009, MAAC announced that it would add a recreational paintball section with its own organisation. The proposal envisaged forming teams to play against existing informal Maltese teams at local paintball fields. Regulations and safety rules were still being prepared. [2]

A message published on 5 January 2010 described the paintball group as recently formed. On 13 January, a further announcement stated that section members were already playing at local commercial fields while MAAC prepared its own training sessions and games. These records establish the section's existence before its dedicated website appeared in February. [3][5]

The report of MAAC's annual general meeting on 30 January 2010 identified Stanley Shaw as chairman, James Bugeja as secretary and treasurer, and Paul Castagnia as paintball director. An April activity announcement spells the paintball organiser's name Paul Castagna. [6][7]

On 19 February 2010, MAAC published an introductory post identifying its WordPress site as a dedicated website for the club's paintball section. [8]
