College Airsoft

coys

Rite folks,

Sorry to drag up an old topic, but I feel its Important if we want to keep the sport/hobby growing and going.

Really what I'm looking for is committee members of as many college airsoft soc's just to give out some contact info, in order to organise some social game, intervarsity games and eventually give the DCU(?) Lads a hand organising that little :P trophy of theirs to change hands!!:D

Really appreciate any help.

I'll be starting up an NUI Maynooth Airsoft club in the next coming weeks

I spotted an ex-IAA Committee member on TCD campus last week, if he wasnt just passing through thats a start.

That said, we wont get any support from the CSC for two years....

Would love to create DUAS though, if we had the numbers.

That said, we wont get any support from the CSC for two years....

I have checked and its 1 year, though I wouldn't count on much support in the following year.

That said if it couldn't survive without support there clearly isn't enough demand for it.

If you can get a half dozen people who are committed to seeing it through for a couple of years, you should have no trouble setting it up and running it, but you have to be prepared to give it everything.

If I hadn't only just left Trinity I would be helping you, alas I just got into airsoft as I left college.

Best of luck to all you trying to set up societies in your respective colleges.

ITB Airsoft Society Still going strong

Best of luck with funding, recruiting and so forth to all the societies this year. Getting off the ground is the hardest part, but once you have you're first outing, it get's a lot easier.

If anyone want's any advice on setting up an airsoft society, please feel free to PM/email

Or if you'd like to arrange a game with the ITB AirSoc, email/pm.

DCU Airsoft is going well and hoping for a bumper crop of new players this year.

Right now we're only vaguely looking ahead to Intervarsity, but the best guess is it will be held in the same place as last year, earlier in the college year than last time and running two games simultaniously so as many colleges as possible can attend ( And hopefully ITB will be on time next time ).

For the moment we're just recruiting and getting the first few trips out of the way, as I'm sure are most other socs. I'll definatly bring having a few games against other colleges for a laugh up at the next commitee meeting.

hi, there is a airsoft club in wit.:) you can send me a pm and i can give you some more info. Me and a cupel of friends set it up last year.:D

For what its worth, UCD Paintball is considering an Airsoft wing. I'm pro for each but we would be looking for a separate sub-committee to run the Airsoft side of things.

I'm the current Chairman of UCD Paintball so feel free to drop me a PM.

Joined up there on wednesday, I look foreward to the meetings & eventual skirmishes.

Also purchased a GR15 & what was essentially a starter pack from the good folk at Dundalk Airsoft. It's a beauty!

Just to let you know lads we start training tomorrow at the MPC beside AIB from 18.00 - 21.00, so if you want to come down your more than welcome.

NakedDex

I saw the posters alright, what's the training exactly?

Jimbobak47

Simple stuff really,most of which experienced Airsofters should know already, but good to go over all the same, we'll be doing Crawling and carrying drills tomorrow and a bit on all round cover etc

Its a good time to share ideas with each other as everyones suggestions, experiences and idea are taken on board.

Chefburns

ED E

Grand.

Lets keep all the TCD stuff here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056046178

Chefburns

Ha ha just spent the last 15 mins looking for that page didn't know u had posted it here i found it already!!!

ED E

To anyone involved in an airsoft soc, did you use RIFs to promote it? I know ITT did at least. Would be nice to have a precedence for when we ask.

Cheers,

The DIT lads had an AK in Bolton Street this year, but that was indoors.

In maynooth they had a display set up in one of the rooms with a few guns on a table and were sheparding people into the room

ED E

Thanks lads. Looks like we're going to be pushed towards the Paintballers as a joint thing. :rolleyes:

Bucklesman

Just gradually become more independent of the paintballers, by the end of the year you'll be a club in all but name. An airsoft-specific brand would be a good start, with your own logo and hoodies etc.

Ok guys The NCI airsoft society has provisionally booked an outing at HRTA on wednesday the 27th from 11.00-16.00.
If any other Colleges or people in general would like to join us just drop Either Myself or Gary an email at glenn@nciaiesoft.com or gary@nciairsoft.com
or alternatively hit up our facebook page.

Just think It might be a good opportunity to do a bitta networking which will help make organising the intervarsity easier.

Hey,
I took over as treasurer this year they've never taken part in any intervarsities yet would be great if i could get some info if anyone has any. Was also thinkin of settin up a trip to sennybridge England/wales for a weekend, i think a 2 day MILSIM with a twist would be fun.

fisherclark

sorry as well do many of the colleges get together to have little Comps against each other, Itt would be well interested if there going on ill leave my college email at the bottom.

For a fund raiser this year were setting up a shooting range on college grounds for the 27th(wed) and 28th(thurs) of this month and getting the S.U president to let people take a few shots at them for a price! we also have tin can shooting(dutch gold given the area of the college) and looking for xylophone so see if people can play tunes. and the usual Thug Targets or maybe even Jedward pictures whatever brings in the most money!!

This fund raiser is to get enough equipment for the airsoft society which we are buying off Tony at http://www.eirsoft.ie/.ie shop is located out in Cabra all details are on his site, Coolest chap ive dealt with and would advise anyone looking to start airsofting or buying for there society to check his shop out.

Sorry about the long speal.

Thank for any info or invites
