Hi irishguy,
Welcome to the forum. First off, these are not Wargames. Secondly The Gathering was devised to bring Airsoft together in Ireland for a bit of craic. The hope for this is that new learn from experienced and so on. Because of the ammount of people it would be next to impossible to promise to you that you could keep your team together and play team on team. All information about age limits and the event are in the original post. The only change to this is that if you are age between 12 and 16 and are planning to stay the night you must have a parent or guardian 18+ staying with you.

For the games 12-14 must have a parent or guardian playing as well, 14-16 only with parental consent accompanied by a verifiable phone number.
Hope this helps,
Martin.

Directions to G-TAC This is located in the main G-TAC thread. Basicly when you get to Ballycrissane, go throug the village heading for Eyrecourt. You will pass a school and church on your left, and Mahons shop and filling station on your right. Continue on and watch for signs for Cummins Cottages. Its the second turn right after Mahons Shop. Head up this road for about 5 minuets and you will see G-TAC on your left after the graveyard and at the very top of the hill.

Just wondering how far the site would be from the train station and if there are any buses heading out that direction, don't think a taxi ride would be cheap lol

2. All Eye protection will be of the fully enclosed type. IE The totally encompass the eye with no gaps for BB's to fit through.Anyone found wearing non regulation eye-wear during or before a game will not be allowed to play until they obtain regulation eye-wear. You have plenty of time to sort this out so do not come down with bog standard safety glasses.

That's me out so, I've yet to come across googles that don't fog up. Unless I was to buy contacts but I last time I tried them they just kept popping out of my eyes.

weeder

you can use the mesh from a full face ya?

ScumLord

Problem with them is my breath just get's blown back onto my glasses and fogging happens anyway. I can't see nuthin through them anyway.

SniperSight

My G&P googles that I got from airsofteire dont fog up and I wear glasses. That said I still use the washing up liquid just in case.

zero19

A small bit of soapy water works too

ScumLord

It's not so much the goggles that are the problem it's my glasses. Once their encased they fog up straight away.

I'll see about getting contacts but I'm next to broke at the moment I've overspent on holidays lately.

Who ever knew Airsoft would be such an expensive hobby.

Wire mesh is really the only way to go if you wear glasses like myself.

I can lend you a pair of mesh goggles no problem if it helps.

Daily disposables? You might be able to get a small batch. Or get your eyes tested and then buy them from getlenses.ie. That said, if an optician thinks that this is what you're definitely going to do, they'll suddenly find that they're very busy. So busy that they won't be able to fit you in.


Ever.
