Well, things on Airsoft is it's an outdoor Airsoft adventure. It's included, I wish it just outside in the Simon. We aim to bring people together, have some fun, experience something completely different, and we're catered for all age groups, we'll say 10 upwards. Very good. We hope to foster community spirit around the sport that myself and John love. And I suppose look, we've seen in recent years, paintballing is an activity that's become very popular, but one thing that you have mentioned previously is that a baby, of course, stands for a believer of the biodegradable element to that, but you have mentioned before that this is environmentally friendly. Yeah, we use, we will be using biodegradable babies, so after about baby will be the ammo that you put into the toy, and they would degrade after about a year now. They do the great over time, which look, I'm sure, look, people will be very glad to hear.

And I'm sure you'll be hoping that this wouldn't just be a good experience for people or a good activity, but maybe if people were going to the area for a stag or a hen or it might even be a draw off for tourism in the area, that's something that you'd be aiming for. That would be one market we would definitely be aiming for, with the surf and that's in the hinges the whole time. There is, we could work together with the surf schools, order packages for hens and stags, school groups, all that kind of stuff. And I understand you have a fundraising campaign behind this as well. We did do a crowdfunding. You think it's straightforward when you start to do it on the website, but it isn't straightforward. We did a fundraising, we got great feedback from this. We didn't reach our goal target, so we're on our website now, we have a founding member's page, and what we hope to do is generate some interest from that that people will join, become four members for the airsoft site.

And are you offering this service and clear already that I see you facility in NS? No, we don't. We had a site in kindly about 12 years ago, but due to storm damage, we ended up closing it down. Okay, so are you renewing this venture then for the first time in a number of years? Yeah, this is via new previous iteration. It was my another business partner of mine, Paul Reign, which he passed away recently. Oh, sorry. So I'm going to sell myself and John. Again, we wanted to be able to pay airsoft ourselves.
