Here is a link to Cummins Cottages. I will post a phone number when I have one as well. This is the nearest rental accomadation to the site. The nearest pub is not with in walking distence. Eyrecourt or Portumna would be the nearest.

Edit. The Ould Sheebeen is now closed!

Gatling

Very Cool idea Lethal, will defo bring along my camera(takes still and video.)
It would be cool to take a pic of everyone that goes(portrait style,not group and work that into a vid) as a record.

Ehh, 120 People....Lotta pics. But I could do it as a seperate video. I Could set it up on a tripod beside the chrono and get everyone as they enter the game zone(with their permission of course).

Good Luck Crave and Killinator.

The site to Eyrecourt is around a 15min drive and the same to Portumna. I will be meeting with a local bus service tomorrow and will see how much he will charge to run a service for the night.

As for the ladies of duious qualities, they are of a very high standered in these parts, so you may need to bring your own.:):):):)

Should we perhaps start a separate thread or maybe sticky for organising accommodation, lifts and other travel arrangements?

I don't yet have a lift or have I decided on how to get down if I am going, so a dedicated thread would be a good indication when a new post is made, that someone needs a lift, and if they read through it they will see how others are getting down and can make arrangements with them.

Who is staying in Portumna? Just wondering so we can get a session going there?

MaxForce

Hi All,
Things are really getting going now. Anybody looking for aerial photographs of the site can find them on our site at http://www.G-TAC.eu I will post as close a map as I can find from the Galway County Council website and mark out boundaries and stuff on it.
Most of our scenarios will be taken from Crazy Rabbits fantastic list (As long as he doesn't mind) but we will tweak them a little bit and throw in a few surprises. Good going to Gatling on the transport post. Most of the guys going have said if they can provide car slots so if no one has any objections I will post up a file with handles and locations for those that said yes.

Can we remind everyone that you must prepay for this event by one of the options given. This is for safety and security reasons.
All The Best,
Martin and Evelyn.

gandalf

BTW what guns are you doing for Rentals, I have a non Airsoft mate coming and unfortunately the AEG I was going to give him has "issues".

MaxForce

Right as promised, here are two aerial photographs taken from the Galway County Council Website. If you navigate their page you can zoom in and out of these as well.

Map Legend.
1. Woodland. Very thick undergrowth but with a few paths going through it. Surrounded by a defined path.
2 CQB Field. The main area of operations.
3 Safe Zone
4 Camping Area
5 Gorse Area.
6 Car park
7 CQB Wood. Very tight space for small groups 2 x 5 max with pistols or semi auto only.

RED Shows boundary
YELLOW Shows Paths
BLUE Safe Area
Green Car park.

The other file is a blank version of the aerial photo.
Have fun.
Martin.

I have a couple of Beta's, an M4 and an MP5 left. All have high cap mags and the M4 and MP5 also have mid caps. The M4 is a all metal DBoys, the MP5k a Galaxy used to be a PDW but the stock broke off.

I may be getting a B+B there, it's cheaper than getting a tent but i'll need to sort out transport between there and the site

EDIT Getting to portumna from Galway city is the bigger problem than getting to the site, thats ten mins drive away according to google maps

You need an adult playing with you if you are aged 12-16 Ayrtonf7

Killinator

just wondering as i was watching tv(was about re-enactments/collections and stuff in ireland) is there going to be any attempt to get any media spotlight/interest or even get it highlighted seen its such a big event and it could really show airsoft in all its glory and how it should be portrayed, just wondering

Ayrtonf7

oh Yeah i know I wasnt expecting that just a lift was all Lol

Does the adult have to actually skirmish or does he just have to Attend and would written consent suffice ?
