    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 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 :)

    Up for a game whenever, wherever.

    website: www.itbairsoft.com

    Email: itbairsoft@live.ie

    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.
    :pac:

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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,

    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.

    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.

    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
