    No way to Brux.
    Not a chance.

    Spent the last two nights in there, the bar in the left is less extreme than the heavy metal area, I think its an alright size too for an airsoft gathering.

    Saying that I'm no dub and can't say Ive been to that many places.

    Bruxxels can fill up like you wouldn't believe, leaving you waiting up to half an hour at the bar.

    Incase we are still stuck for suggestions I put forward O Neills on Suffolk St.
    It's a pub. That's all it is. No themes, no specific music and no snotty bouncers.

    I'm good for whatever date is decided.

    Yeah? I usually only go there during the day but it seems an alright place. Clearly wrong though. Personally, my first choices would be Lillies or the Ice bar. Not everyone likes those places though. Or Reynards.

    Ah here. We don't all go out wearing rugby jerseys and dubes, and drinking pints of probs and getting LAWKED.

    I agree, any pub with capacity and late hours will do, I'm not fussed.

    First off, it's "scoops" or "pintage" not pints. Second, it's "horrendufied" not lawked. Lastly, you can try to copy my style if you want, but you're either born with or not. And clearly I was born with style.

    You stay classy, airsoft-iego.

    Eh, me? Scobe? That's gonna cost you. The dark mocha fraps are good if you're in starbucks had one the other day. Quite nice. Though if you're not in the mood for a frap try a double shot macchiato, extra caramel with cream. Best served as a tall so you're not diluting the espresso too much. It's currently my evening tipple.

    Lads, it's been suggested to me (he knows who he is and he's rarely wrong, damn him) that maybe going drinking and clubbing might be excluding more than a few of our community, and I have to admit, it's a good point. We have a lot of young players (I'm embarrassed to say, some almost a third of my age) and this evening/night should include them, for a bit at least, I'm not trying to be too PC about it. I'm also not into the idea of going somewhere loud and clubby in any case, is there some sort of middle ground about it? It's a celebratory social after all, not a 'get hammered and pull' night, right?

    El "Scary guy who doesnt think he's scary" has suggested this alright, and is looking into getting a room so we(the youngies, NOT "CHILDREN") can come along too.

    Uh, don't we socialise at scirmishes anyway?
    This is being done as a beers thing, its different tbh.

    Like, the gathering etc. have barbeques and camping, regular scirmishes often involve half your time talking, is there a need to change the plan from beers at all? What is the alternative?

    You're children until you're 18 and can legally enter Gladiators.

    Pimp it all you want but the party won't take place in Starbucks.
    You corporate whore!

    I agree with Kev that avoiding the clubs would be for the best but a pub really is the only other common ground that we all share.
    As for the under age thing, all I could suggest is renting a function room, therefore making it a private party, and no refusal...but then things start to get complicated.

    Likewise....what's the concession for the young players here, like, what's the cut off age? Even if we achieved something to accommodate the 15-16 year olds (which wouldn't be easy), we would then be snubbing the 13-14 year olds....
    So bar a trip to Funderland or some knacker drinking, I have no idea how we could accommodate younger players and keep older players interested.

    Beers, ffs.

    This is a community that sees each other at games, the safe zone, camping round the fire, all the time, this is a social sport where we see each other ALL the time.

    This time round however, KD suggested, to GREAT enthusiasm a night out in a pub, I still want that.
    Yes some players aren't old enough to drink, but would they want to prevent everyone else going out due to that? Because so far, this sounds like its going the way of many boards suggestions, to many chefs critics etc. taking away from the idea.

    Some players wont be able to go, and thats sad, but this is one thing that over 18's do, that has been suggested that the over 18's among us do as a group.

    Young players joined us at the gathering campfire, and at the hrta birthday game, countless scirmishes, on the forum, the irc and WILL be at the barbeque birthday games for Eirsoft soon.

    Can we just go ahead and have one night of beers and not debate it to death?

    Well said. The original idea should be stuck to I reckon. If for assurance of it taking place at all. It's easy to just pick a place and have everyone turn up in that place under their own steam (relatively speaking). It's a bloody 'mare to start going into booking function rooms or finding all-ages grounds or whatever.

    That's what you think. I'm going to Starbucks and there's gonna be a party in my pants. The hot american store assistant is invited. She's bringing whipped cream and caramel syrup. It's never been so much fun to be a corporate whore.

    Definitely an over-18s event, then.

    Ok, I have no idea what messrs maguires is like so I'm gonna say ok to that anyway, I dont know enough places to suggest one.

    I'm happy to go 23rd or 30th, if salute is on, and I know a few lads going to that that I'd want to see at the beers, I'd go 23rd.

    I've just voted for the 23rd, anyone who thinks thats cool, vote too.

    Typical under 18 talk :P

    So we've established that its OK to go for beers without feeling guilty about it, look, even one of the young lads says its ok!

    lol

    Anyway, messr maguires, 23rd OR 30th, poll may say one way but it isnt a legally binding poll.
    I say 23rd, to suit the salute show.
