Gozo Xtreme Paintball
Gozo Xtreme Paintball was a recreational paintball operator in Nadur, Gozo, Malta. Its surviving promotional records identify a playing location on Triq Wied ir-Riħan and document paintball activities during the 2010s. The business was also listed as Xtreme Paintball in the Yellow Malta directory. [1][2]
History
[edit]Paintball advertised in Nadur, 2008
[edit]The Gozo 1234 programmes for 2 and 3 May 2008 advertised paintball activities in Nadur from 14:00 to 18:00. The advertised promotional price was €10 per person, with bookings taken on telephone number 7947 3427. Participants were instructed to meet in front of Nadur's main square. [3][4]
The same telephone number appears in the later Gozo Xtreme Paintball promotional listing. This provides a connection between the festival booking contact and the later business, although the programmes do not identify the operator by name. They also do not establish that the games were held at the subsequently documented Triq Wied ir-Riħan site. [1][3][4]
The square was described as a meeting point and should not be treated as the playing-field location. The programme dates do not establish the business's founding or opening date. [3][4]
Recreational activity in the 2010s
[edit]A surviving mirror of the operator's promotional posts preserves material dated April, October and December 2014. A post dated 28 December advertised paintball that afternoon. [1]
On 20 September 2015, the operator reported preparations for the next paintball season. The same promotional archive preserves further entries dated 14 November 2016 and 15 January 2017. These are publication dates and do not independently establish when any pictured games took place. [1]
Location
[edit]The operator's promotional listing gives the address as Triq Wied ir-Riħan, Nadur, and retains the booking number 7947 3427. Yellow Malta separately lists Xtreme Paintball under team-building activities in Nadur. [1][2]
A travel account published by Cynthia Peter on 7 April 2023 identifies a location encountered during a walk near San Blas as Gozo Xtreme Paintball on Triq Wied Rihan. This is a later reference to the location, rather than confirmation that the operator was accepting bookings in 2023. [5]
Operating dates
[edit]The available records do not establish a precise opening date or final operating date. Retained directory entries and historical promotional posts should not be treated as confirmation of current availability. [1][2]
