    Ok Lads,

    Quick one. Is there any airsoft group between Cork and Wexford. Looking for team to play with. The concern is not the field. I have perfect plac to play (all legal issues are sorted). Problem is: I dun know anybody around me who is playing.

    Theres me in Clonmel.....Tipp


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 896 Mod ✭✭✭✭Fuzzytrooper


    Whereabouts is this site?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 374 ✭✭andros


    Perfect. I see something forming. The whole idea is to find alternative to paintball for winter period. I have access to privete paintball site in Mooncoin.

    Good stuff, just let me know when and I should be there.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 374 ✭✭andros


    Site is not very big but is enough to play. I try to post some photos on Sun/Mon, need to speak to the owner what 'll be the rules of accessing the site. (I did ask him about access but not about other stuff - bcs there was no need for doing this until now) but I think should be no problem.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 92 ✭✭Grayfox


    awesome, i live about 20mins from there! thats in waterford right?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,148 ✭✭✭_sheep


    I would love to come and check this out, i only have a maru l96 at the moment for plinking at home, would love to seesomething to start happening down here to get involved in.

    Edit, im in Thurles area, but i drive to waterford couple of days a week and all weekend. Would love to jjust come watch and more than anything to get involved in the sport.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 374 ✭✭andros


    It's 9km from waterford. I'm currently looking for bigger place too. It's ok for 5v5 maby 6v6. We play there paintball 4v4. I need to meassure site with GPS and I'll decide.

    Is anybody from Portlaw who have access to some nice urban or ruined warehouse setup area?? Guys from our paintball team will probably like to change scenery as well. In exchange for giving access to field. I just spoken with them briefly. 'll have longer chat on Sun and see what happen.

    Thats for now. I'm still looking, but this terribly difficult in Ireland.

    few other in Clonmel might be interested, Hi Greyfox!! think theres another lad who lurks around on boards who is also from town, can't remember his name:( Didn't know there was a paintball site on mooncoin this is news to me!! but we could be interested if it gets going. Older crew, some of us slightly geriatric!!:p

    It's private field - club members only. But as long as I'm club member, think can work something. But like I said place is quite small. More details on Sun/Mon. Btw I heard that there is Civil Defence Playground somewhere aroud Wat. Worth investigating.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,514 ✭✭✭shanethemofo


    have about 5 or so willing to play from tramore


  • Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 2,610 Mod ✭✭✭✭horgan_p


    one willing volunteer from cork (i'd probably be target practice!)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 374 ✭✭andros

    I think there is someone else from Cork. I need to get rough numbers who 'll be interested. So I can go trough that with the owner.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 92 ✭✭Grayfox


    You have any idea on costs per person?

    Unfortunately can't give U anwser right now (this has to be disscused with the owner). I'm going to talk to him on Sun when we'll be plaing paintball overthere. I promise nothing, but I'll try to convince him to do some big and small jobs on field in exchange for access, but that's only my point of view dun know what he 'll say.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 92 ✭✭Grayfox


    Ok so its still in the works, are you based in mooncoin???


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 59 ✭✭Judge dredd


    Hi Andros,I would be interested.I'm from Clonmel and have two others who would go.Being trying to look for a place locally ourselves but with no luck so far,we were gonna start our own Team(even designed the team badges).
    P.S it might be a small area but that only means more targets grouped together:D Fire and Forget.

    There is private paintball arena currently. We're playing there every Sun. So when I'll be there this Sun, 'll speak to the owner and ask him how does he see the whole idea of ASG guys accessing our paintball arena.

    Summary:

    1. There is place where we can use ASG.
    2. Place is known and legaly recognized by Gardi.
    3. Owner is involved in paintball club.

    So in some words its still in works as ASG arena, but thats only matter of one chat with the owner.

    Ok lads,

    I need to know how many ppl willing to come in. Need to know what to say to the owner.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 364 ✭✭xFROSTY Gx


    Myself and one of my friends are interested

    Ok, thats 2. Plus 2 forom Arcto, plus 3 from iceage and next 2 from Gangland:) makes 9, very good. I believe there is more ppl out there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,401 ✭✭✭Arcto


    2 over here (waves AEG)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,533 ✭✭✭iceage


    If I can get my lot motivated, there could be possibly three more intere:sted from Clonmel!!:D:cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,295 ✭✭✭SniperSight


    I'm new here, but I am from Limerick and have a brother I could go with.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 374 ✭✭andros


    Ok, I understand there is Fuzzytrooper willing to join too (maby with one more with him), about 5 from tramore, plus _sheep and Judge_Dread. thats make about 16-20. So in more less I've some idea about numbers. I'm going to play paintball in about 1,5h and,'ll talk to owner and decide. We're aiming for about 5v5 maby 6v6. I case of probably 10v10 or more, we need to figure out some way of doing this (maby will go turns - i don't expect to have ppl form all around cuntry in one day in one place). I'm going to do some photos and movies. So u'll be able to become familiar with the place. And most important thing - today should know what will be the cost for accessing premise.


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 896 Mod ✭✭✭✭Fuzzytrooper


    I'll be up for it. I'll be chatting to the other lad tomorrow so will know then if he'll be up for it. What times would you be thinking about playing? Can't do sunday mornings as I have other commitments


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 374 ✭✭andros

    Dave here in cork count me in as well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,401 ✭✭✭Arcto


    Looks the job. What did the owner say about the usage?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 374 ✭✭andros


    Nothing yet. Haven't get the chance to speak with the owner yday. He wasn't playin with us. I'll try to get in touch with him.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 48 Yougart15


    Really anxious here because in wateford a trip up to HRTA would cost at least 50 quid so this site would mean alot. Me and frosty would be regular users anyway.
    Any chance on your opinion of what the site owner will say to your proposal?:D

    Like I said, but really apriciate. I'm quite anxious to bcs never have the chance to play ASG with bigger group over here.


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 896 Mod ✭✭✭✭Fuzzytrooper


    If it gets the ok I'll have two people willing to play. One of them sometomes works on the weekend but they'd definitely be up for it

    After discussion inside club we decide to move into bigger place. So currently we have no place to play even paintball. But after meeting we had last week, we decide that place is bit to small to run anything serious over there. I personaly put big preassure on other club member to upgrade to bigger place (for the cost of weekly paintball games) for sake of better possibilities.


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 896 Mod ✭✭✭✭Fuzzytrooper


    Fair enough, will you keep us posted if you come across a site? I might do some hunting myself.

    We're working hard on getting new place, but still need to take care of other stuff like day time work and family:). Btw anybody willing to go for small skirmish on Sat or Sun?? (but we need some place:)


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 896 Mod ✭✭✭✭Fuzzytrooper


    If it's the afternoon on either days then definitely. Need to get some dpms on sat morning and gotChurch work on sun (We never have enough volunteers to do tech stuff, sound engineering etc).

    I'm going to ask a guy on sunday to check into a place out near the Comeraghs but it might be a while before I hear anything about that
