THE UPRISING Sennybridge FIBUA village 8/9 August 2009

Mail from TA events

I am pleased to announce the details of a up and coming event by Bamako Bampots called "The Uprising". This event is to take place at the Sennybridge FIBUA village on the 8/9 August 2009 and we at TA Events are proud to be sponsoring the event.

More information can be found on the Uprising website

http://www.the-uprising.org

I for one am very excited about this event as I have been closely involved by Steve Morris as to what is being planned and I think it's going to be one hell of a game. And at £75 which includes entry in to a Friday night pistol and shotgun only competition then its excellent value for money!

So get yourself booked and I for one will see you there in August...

Regards,

Ian Wermerling

This is a Charity MILSIM game and all proceeds go to the BamakoBampots.
There will be a special competition on the Friday night from 1800 till 0200 run by the Airsoft League which will pit teams of 5 against each other in a pistols and shotgun only timed event. The winners of this Charity league game will receive a Trophy a number of individual prizes.
The main game will run from 12 noon Saturday through to 12 noon Sunday the next day and being MILSIM will not stop during the night. Ambient low level lighting ( red low watt) will be placed at certain points around the village to ensure that those without NVG can move and play safely whilst ensuring enough darkness that those with NVG and torches can still play strategically.

A competition will run by the Airsoft League between the hours of 1800 and 0200 on the Friday night.
The competition will pit up to 20 teams of 5 against each other in a pistols and shotgun only timed event. The winners of this Charity league game will receive a Trophy and 2nd and 3rd place will receive runner up prizes.

Four very different sides interlocked in a very volatile situation during an intense 24 hours of adrenaline pumping, arse kicking action….and that’s just the basis of what’s to come.
This event has so many twists and turns you will never know what’s waiting around the next corner.

TheDoc

More then likely will be there

Dar

Definitely in for this one

Stercus Accidit

Ha, I make be able to make that one.

Beast ASI

Maybe - Depends on the rest of the ASI guys

ASI Casper

As it's 1 week after Red Hammer 2 and 3 weeks before Fireball '09, I very much doubt I'll be at this.

BTW, booking already seems to be open for this so, although there doesn't seem to be an upper limit of players mentioned anywhere for this event (?), it might be prudent to get yourselves sorted with a place asap if any of you definately are going.

starwidow

Steve from Bamako Bampots has been onto me. If we get enough people going to this in a group from Ireland he can do group ticket discounts. He seems very keen to get Irish players out.

Obviously I don't want to take advantage if it's just a handful of us going.

Barring mad **** happening in the next 4 months, I'm definitely going, and probably bringing whatever hawks fit in whatever vehicle I bring :-)

It'd be great to get as many PR3 vets (talking to you, ghosts) and new people and teams over for this. For non-berget players, it'll be a fantastic intro to a proper long-term milsim game. You won't regret it. Sennybridge kicks ass.

Can respective team captains who are thinking of going try to get back to me with rough numbers and interest, I can look into what can be done.

What are peoples plans regarding the post-VCRA restrictions on importing what the UK Gov precieves as "RIF's"? Be sure to look into getting a UKARA/ active skirmisher card if you have not done so already : )

If you're taking a gun from ireland into the UK and returning back to ireland with it, you don't need a UKARA number, since you're not importing anything. Importing implies leaving it in the UK.

IronWolf

Thats great to know, thanks for the info Is there any kind of documentation that you need to provide to the autorities in such cases?

There's very little definitive in law, but advice from the PSNI at least says you should have a letter of invitation from the venue you're going to. Most venues are happy to issue this letter if you ask. An event ticket may also do. All you really need to do is have material proof that you're there as a skirmisher.

The IAA will usually issue an letter as well if requested, if you're going abroad as part of a group.

Of course you should have photo ID with at all times too.

gerrowadat

Group of 10 just booked for this this evening. If you're booking, enter "Na Fianna" as your group, and join the party.

Masada

whoops, forgot to text ya back dave. yeah im defo in anyway, is it too late to book altogether?

Dread-Lock

Crap, I completely forgot about this. What side are people going on? Dessie/Tan I assume.

You dont need any proof, you are not importing... just bringing with....

Proof required: printed site details, its enough...

As for ukara ... that is NOT official proof, its only one system of confirming one is a skirmisher. OWNERSHIP of aegs, is not restricted to skirmishers, just buying, manufacture, or sale.


btw, get on the dessie side... we are going to crush us some rebelion!

Rebellion! AY AY AY AY AY!


Who wants to be the 'good guy' anyway.

deepimpact

what's the general method of transport people are using to get Sennybridge?

I'm really interested in going to this.

kdouglas

Ferry to Holyhead and drive from there.

The previous two times we came back via Rosslare because the Sailing times suited much better.

gerrowadat

The Wiki Part for PR3 is still relevant, even ownto what ferries to get

http://www.irishairsoft.info/index.php?title=EventsPR3

There's an even on the friday this time (a pistols/shotguns game), so I might get the earlier ferry.

Yah im hoping to get the early boat.

Sod'o swords

Considering getting a few shotguns and pistols with stupid amounts of shells and mags seeming how you're allowed unlimited ammo with them....

Stercus Accidit

The benelli clones will be well represented I'd say.

Dread-Lock

Shotguns FTW!

And I'm thinking of going green as well.

Masada

Go green and get Pwn't!


just ask lemming, he went green last time and we kicked them all outta the vilage 18hrs before games end.

Multicam FTW!

Beast ASI

Hmmm, might tag along.

Anybody booked green atm?

Multicam = Fail. Richie, you should know this by now....

Tommyboy71

Definitely in for the earlier sailing. Get there, chill for a bit and then bust some gangster shizzle with the pistol game.

gerrowadat

0830 sailing should put us there on site for about 4pm, or a little before. Better early than late, though :-)

For those unsure about the game rules and system of play and choosing your gear for the event....

I'll consider this one, but I dunno, unless Mr. Cowen decides to magically up my dole it might be a choice between this and a GBB M4, and I've got a goo on me for the auld M4.

I imagine the ferry prices etc will be similar to the last trip over, if anyone who drove over the last time can give me an after action detailing total wallet damage for transport, it'd help me make up my mind.

It ended up being 350-400 total for pretty much everyone who went last time. Including ticket.

Cheers, yep, it's priced right out of the unemployed persons market then. Ah well, yet another incentive to look for work, now where did I put that xbox controller...

I'd say both Defenderdude and myself could be convinced to look into the feasibility of going, but at €350+ euros I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to afford it. Maybe PR3 more so than the uprising, I'd have a bit longer to save up for that yin.
