    M.I.A will be holding a demonstration day on the 28th of June.
    this is to answer the many questions we receive in relation to the sport of airsoft.
    The A.T.F and the Contractors have agreed to lay on a demonstration in the large car park beside the shop and we will also have a small target range set up for people to try out different types of guns.
    The local Gardai will be informed of the event.
    This is not a skirmish day so please do not bring any of your own guns, but captains of teams may come dressed in their chosen team uniforms to try and recruit some new members.
    We would be very grateful to any experienced skirmishers who could come along to help answer questions for newbies about the sport the equipment and the legalities.
    All are welcome.
    Thank you.:D

    Derek,
    Good job on that. As the sport is growing up we need to educate the population, Team FRAG of Navan willing to lend a hand if requested.

    Sounds deadly. Maybe if you knew you had enough interest you could do a bus from town or a shuttle from blanch shopping centre.

    What time do you want people turning up? I'm gonna point some people at it.
