I'll come, that is provisional though based on whether it is on a do-able weekend.

I can help where possible too.

[m35reo]

top man, were looking at sometime in either late july or anytime in august at the mo. obviously nothing is set yet, we are just trying to get this going again so the more the merrier, as there realy isnt any point going to far with it unless we get interest.

cheers. j

[SuperJohn]

What format is the event, for the uninitiated? Cheers.

[m35reo]

well i have to admit i dont realy know as i never got to go to one but the basic format is looking to be a fun first type of weekend, so not milsim just short skirmish style games, so if people want to sit it out and chew the fat then they can. the emphasis is as much on socialising as anything else. im open to suggestions on stuff you want to see (within reason) lol

cheers. j

This is the kind of format Arniegeddon (and other Arnies based events) have taken:

A bunch of airsofters who only really know each other by their forum names all arrive at a site on a Friday afternoon/evening and set up camp, crack a few beers, maybe have a bit of a barbeque and get to know each other - mocking other Arnies members and talking about tuna/redbull/AIDS etc. Next morning they all get up (some a little worse for wear) and skirmish a bit, taking every opportunity to lol, rofl and generally lark about (but safely, of course). After a while they troop back to camp and get some food, then maybe (if they're lucky) get a spot of night skirmishing in. Then it's a few more beers and some food while socialising some more, then up early on Sunday for a spot more skirmishing 'til it's time to head back to camp, pack up and go home. Then the race to upload pictures begins, and a small group of airsofters know each other a little better and have new catchphrases and knicknames to use in the chatroom for a few years and hopefully nobody's left their guns in a taxi or anything.

So, hopefully that hasn't put you off J!

sounds like a good recipe all round then realy.

Thanks mate, the help will be appreciated alot

What format is the event, for the uninitiated? Cheers.

as per james, i aint attended one either but as there are other forum pages and previous attenders here i guess we will soon find out and hopefully make 2009 a memory that is good like the previous ones.

thank you for the insight, sounds a right good laugh, maybe i can break my 95% T-total state and have a couple of drinks over the weekend.

or maybe stay sober so i can at least help if in emergency lol (way of getting out of everything hehe)

[Hedganian]

I'd be up for this, with four-eight guys, depending on which weekend it is (due to Reserve Forces commitments). I'd steer away from the August Bank Holiday, as that will clash with the Fireball International (assuming it's on this year).

Don't know how much I could do to help out with organising, but I'll volunteer anyway. Give me a shout if you need some help with something, and I'll let you know if I can help in any way.

[Hedganian]

Roger, have posted in that thread also.

will keep it noted as maybe pick ups/shop runs would be good (as long as your not drunk lol)

[m35reo]

thats poss very useful if anyone comes on the train or bus! top man

[amateurstuntman]

Actually, good point Hed'. I have a minibus licence too (C+E as well if you have a prop artic lorry cutting around) and I don't drink so if you have a minibus then I'm your man.

Not much use I imagine but I am also an experienced plant operator, if you were to hire a digger I could knock up a network of trenches in no time.

On a more useful front I could also bring a Norge which is basically a 19 litre thermos.
