Editing Paintball Direct NZ (section)

=== Ōpunake operations ===

Paintball Direct NZ Limited was incorporated on 21 May 2008, with Stephen Thomas Corkill, known as [[Steve Corkill]], and Rosmarie Corkill as its initial directors. Its registered office was at 5 Tasman Street, Ōpunake, Taranaki. [2][3][4]

Steve Corkill organised the [[2008 Paintball Direct Speedball End of Year Blowout]], held on 27 December 2008 at Te Kiri Hall on Eltham Road, near Ōpunake. The five-player event offered field-supplied paintballs and compressed-air and carbon-dioxide fills. A participant's forum post on 29 December thanked Corkill for the event. [5]

In March 2012, the ''Ōpunake & Coastal News'' listed Paintball Direct NZ among the donors to a raffle supporting an Ōpunake High School student's rugby tour to Samoa. The business contributed a T-shirt valued at NZ$50. [6]
