Transport

The bus travels along this route , from the Cathederal to G-TAC. Pick-up points along that route will be organised on our forum.


Price & Booking

The price is €35 (full day at G-TAC, food and transport).

The booking deposit is €10, for which you will recieve a ticket (it is non-refundable, but you can sell it on). The remaining €25 can be paid while booking or on the day (the €25 is refundable if you cancel or can't make it).

Booking tickets will be available from Wired Gaming, 2 Domick Street Upper, from Tuesday 29th of April.


Requirements

- You must be at least 16 years old. Those aged 16/17 will need their parent/guardian to sign this waiver in advance.

- An airsoft device (rifle, shotgun, pistol etc) with a muzzle velocity of less than 1 Joule (as per Irish law).


Notes

- We have some masks (face protection) available for use on the day (no charge) for those that do not have their own.

- Dressing in camoflauge is recommended, but not required. If you do not have camo available it is best to dress in dark greens/browns.

- Unfortunately we (and G-TAC) have no rentals left at this time.

Good news, it'll be handy for people in Galway.

However......Since this is in essence, a commercial venture, you really should have PM'd a moderator before announcing this, I'll let it go for now, but I've said this too many times before and (as a warning to all others) i'd be well within rights as moderator to ban people for posting this kind of thing without asking for permission first.

Hey kd,

The Wired Airsoft Club is a Wired community exercise and not a financial one. Malboury and Sarklor are other principals of the club and they have no association with Wired other than being members.

Wired Gaming/Wired Computer Services Limited will not profit from the club, the price quoted (€35) is the minimum required to cover G-TAC and the bus. I also have no connection to G-TAC other than creating it's website, which I did to support airsoft in Galway.

I do understand where you're coming from of course, and thank you.

My apologies, I thought that since you were operating it from Wired gaming that there would be some level of profit incorporated into the ticket price or the rental AEG price. Perhaps when the club becomes popular it would have some form of funds generated my it's members that can be put back into the club for better rentals.

Either way, announcements like this in the forum should go through a moderator first since it is advertising.

When you say 25 places, is that just the club, as that day is in the firing line for me and snipers next trip after the gathering,
so my question is, does this club event mean club only or is it the 25 places and whoever else shows up who arent in the club, ie: us and the likes of tony(marklmk) from limerick?

RabidDog

Hehe, don't worry man the 25 places are how many seats we have on our bus.

Should be a great day!

Killinator

Phew(wipes sweaty brow and stops panicking):D

Will do.

Yeah we're heavily community based (our members vote on all our games, events etc) and we're expanding that into other areas like airsoft and karting. It's all about providing a social experience.

I'm looking into getting some money together to purchase ten rentals for the club, so that we can offer the whole day + rental for €50.
