    will gas and BB's be sold on site?

    BB's will be any way but gas I am not sure about yet. We will be stocking Goldfires and the charge will be 10€ for a bottle of 3000.

    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.

    Yup no problem. Your top on the list.

    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. :)

    Can you get your money back Gatling?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 969 ✭✭✭MaxForce


    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.

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 969 ✭✭✭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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,291 ✭✭✭✭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.

    its still bright enough till around 9Pm these days so i think we could do a mixture of woodland and cqb and move into the cqb when it gets to dark

    In Regards to pubbing i must say no (given my age,though i wouldnt if i could anyway, full days airsofting with a hangover:eek:) though i can guard equipment while you lot are off at the off license given the campfire situation

    There aint nothing wrong with a few brewskies before a game just dont go overboard:p

    Just to be clear, I'm assuming you mean a few brewskies the night before a game, not a few brewskies before the night game ;)

    As someone who has taken the old few brewskies the night before a game a bit far on more than one occasion I'd advise against it, nothing worse than trying to hold your AEG straight with the shakes, and a hangover from hell pounding out a heavy metal drumbeat in your head.

    The horror...

    if you have drink before any of our nightgames you will not play it is that simple no exception :mad::mad:
    regards Evelyn

    To reiterate what Evelyn has posted. You will not be allowed to play if you drink Befor a game. No excuses no refunds. If you do not like this rule, then do not come to our site.

    This event is to bring Airsoft together. It is not and will not be allowed to become a beer fest.
    Martin.

    For any kind of food/drink purchase, might I humbly suggest bulk purchase at Lidl/Aldi? Is there one within reasonable driving distance of G-Tac? I might pick up enroute for myself and my passengers, so I doubt I'll have too much spare room but after we get there I could do a provisions run.

    Well, it's only one night and some deprivation might give us an authentic 'guerilla' feel for the occasion ;)
