I played drums in a metal band with the guy on the right at about 15 sec! He was the singer:)
:D:D:D:D

Great find lethal. BTW, Lethal, I'm just doing an urban tigerstripe pattern on an MP5K and CQB M4 at the mo. I'll get you pics and lmk what you think. Any sign of your CAMO yet for the birthdaybash paintjob?

Back on topic, cant wait for this - even have the tent sorted!:D:p

SniperSight

I believe he did get his camo. Hes also got to test out a new M4 so he'll be fairly chuffed.

Was asking the landowner and he thinks the Bus from Dublin only runs to Portumna Monday to Friday! You might want to check and see if there is a bus going back on Sunday or not!

There is a private company that operates a service from Dublin, (outside D.I.T. Cathal Brugha Street to Portumna main street) to Portumna on the weekends.
They are called Kierans, their service operates irregualr hours but it's got a good price and I recall the drivers being really sound.

Their numbers are 0872990509 and 0909675450.

weeder

just a suggestion here, now that you have 120 bookings go back through them and add every person for just 1 day onto a list, then the number of people on that list would be the amount of one day places left over, bit of extra work but it ensures that theres 120 booked to play on both days and would sweeten it a bit for everyone

Hi All,
Defenderdude has kindly offered to collect payments for The Gathering on Saturday 19th April at HRTA. This is made possible with the kind permission of Mr Nonex. For anyone wishing to use this method of payment, this is how it will work. Make yourself known to Defenderdude. Let him check your payment. Seal it in an envelope. Write your name, handle, email address, mobile number, amount in envelope, what you are paying for on the outside of the envelope. If you have any questions ask Defenderdude or PM me prior to the Saturday.

Hopefully this will help some of you that might not have the ability to use one of our other options.
All the best,
Martin.

Would you be kind enough to add three of us from AirsoftEire to that list also. Too busy to check the boards all the time and missed the deadline; which is a good thing I guess.

No Problem. Did you track down the PO?

Gatling

havent seen it since it went in to the post box ,its a pain in the rear being honest ,

its cancelled now and reported to the guards

Can you get your money back Gatling?

Right Lads,
I need to get a grip on what way the night game is going to go. This place gets very dark after around 10pm I am talking not seeing hand in front of face, but I checked the moon phase for that night and if it is a clear night, it will be a half moon. I will have a halogen spot light pointing down into the field and I have a supply of glow sticks. For those of you who are planning on going to Portumna for a drinkeys, and if the game goes on till 10pm, you will not have much time to clean yourselves up and go.

So the question is:
1. Do ye want a proper night game in the CQB area only. IE when it is dark? :eek:
2. Do ye want a dusk game that if it is not to dark could also involve part of the woodland?
2. Do ye want to go pubbing afterwards?

My suggestion is, Have a night game in the CQB area and maybe a dusk game in the woods. Bring yer "beverages" with ye and sit around a campfire and have a bit of a laugh and a few bevveys. There will be enough cars there to be able to make a trip to Portumna or Eyrecourt for an Off License (I assume there is one in one of the towns). From a security point of view, might not be the best idea in the world to leave the site with the amount of equipment in it. But there will be no drink consumed prior to the games commencing on Saturday night. Anyone found to be or have been drinking prior to the start of the games will not be allowed to play no exceptions.
So let me know what ye think.
Martin.

A few could stay behind to guard the equipment.
They should have enough protection:D:D:D:D

Martin, having played down in g-tac, I would be inclined to go with your suggesstion for the games and for the afters:).....Besides have the fun will be sitting round a campfire with a few bev's.

Gatling

have you any idea of how your going to marshal the numbers and night games yet

MaxForce

This all deprnds on how many actualy come. It is hard to plan anything really when only 35 out of 120 have actualy paid. IE I take the paid as actual confirmed attendees. This is why we are trying to get everyone's payment in so we know how many are going to be there.

If the numbers that booked actualy come, then they will be split into 4. We have armbands ready so you will know who your team mate is. We have 6 marshals including myself and because of the numbers we are going to be as strict as hell.

I am supplying glow sticks for the night game and if ye want to bring torches, feel free. Other then that, a lot of the planning has to be left aside till we can confirm numbers.

Gatling

6 marshals is handy ,id recommend marshals use whistles to start and end games ,

and carry a separate colour glow stick,

other than that a bottle of .20bbs beside your chrono ,sounds like all the bases are covered ,

im paying for 2-3 of my team to defenderdude on saturday

We already use whistles at the site. The glow sticks we are using are 2€ for a pack of 20 in the 2 Euro Shops but if any one wants to get the bigger ones which are €2 each please feel free to do so. The teams will be red and blue or red and green.
