UL Paintballing Mk II

Cosine

Provisionally booked a place in Predator Paintball in Tralee for the post IV finals blast (pun very much intended :P)

Price is €40 at the moment but I'm trying to get that price down a bit.
Paintballs are €10 per 100

That 40 includes all the gear you need plus 300 paintballs and food afterwards.
I'm also trying to get a few extra paintballs for free (usually can get 100 or 200 more out of them if there are enough people going)

As the arena is in tralee there will be a wee bitty bit of a bus trip to get there and so its looking like 8 - 8:30 am leaving limerick, which will have us there and starting the games by 11. we're looking at 4 hours of games with the aim to be back in limerick by 5 - 5:30 pm for those who need to get buses and trains back that evening.

All these details are provisional like I said but I don't see any reason for them to be changed unless people have problems with how late we'll be coming back.

I'll looking for a list from each club interested in going with names and emails for everyone. Email me at ularchery@gmail.com and put your club name and "FAO Cian" in the subject. I'd also like a deposit of €20 from each of these people too, I'd prefer to have these deposits in by the 22nd so that I can give definite numbers to predator. Once I have definite numbers I'll be able to confirm the final price and I'll collect the balance either during our IV or on the morning of the paintballing

Cheques should be made out to "UL Archery Club" and can be sent to
Cian O' Sullivan, Archery Club,
Clubs and Societies,
University of Limerick,
Limerick, Ireland

I should be attending the next two IV's and can collect any deposits then aswell.

If you have any questions then please post them here.

Got a good question yesterday about the full price of a day o paintballing.

At the moment the least you will be paying is €40 to cover the entry to the arena/300 paintballs/food on site/bus. If you are very conservative with your ammo that could last you the entire day. On average people buy either 100 or 200 extra paintballs during the day thats not being too conservitave but still not being too wasteful. Then you've got the other extreme (I'm in this group) I have spent upto €50 on extra paintballs because I went just a little bit nuts

So your looking at in and around the €60 mark in total for the day.

One thing I'd recomend is thinking about how much you are planning to spend and bring an extra tenner ontop of that.

Once someone ran out of money half way through the day. The lads in charge gave him some extra paintballs so that his day wasn't a complete waste but he still didn't have as much fun as if the day was uninterupted.

Oh and this is all in cash. No credit cards as I am not sure that they take them and even if they did it would take longer for you to pau and therefore longer to get your food.

I was talking to a few clubs last saturday/sunday and was told there were lists already done but I still haven't recieved any.

I know yer students and lazy but if I don't get lists soon we won't be going paintballing. I still have to organise a bus and the final price of the paintballing. For these I need numbers of people going. If I don't get lists soon I won't be able to have things organised in time and there'll be nothing I can do.
