Well I have just spoken to the guy from United Paintball and he is keen to get going with people. I have not confirmed the date yet with him nor do I know wither or not I have enough intrest to warrent us getting the range for a morning or afternoon.

Anyway
2nd October Sunday morning.

Baiscally DGA will bring its escy down to the event and will have cold water and Cokes / lemonade on sale or whatnot.

We need 15 confirmed people that will be there for it to happen. Please let me know that you will be there. I do think it will start at about 9:30 in the morning (if not earlier or later - to be confirmed).

So for it to go ahead I need people to say that they will be there but if you are tentative at the moment please say so and yeah we should be able to get you down there.

Also if you need a lift or whatnot say so and should be able to organise something wit another member that will be heading down there.

Post 4

mark me as tentative at this point - any idea on the charges? marker hire, if coveralls are included, how many paintballs included initially, how much they cost after that?

Post 5

gonna need approximations on costs. Will round up a couple of mates for this one :D

Post 6

Oh. It appears it is on the weekend of Defqon 1 in sydney. So I think that rules a few people out. So may change the date to the week before.

Will find out on the prices tommorow. I am confident that the overalls are included.

And you have to be 18 years of age due to licensing requirements.

Take note of the markers they are using up there I'd be interested to know. I'm guessing it's something like the Tippman 98

Well I hope he re-reads this. As I said in the facebook event. Those paint prices are bloody ridiculous.

Post 26

captive market. and he's just starting out.

but yeah most places i've played at in the past charge $40+ to get in but much less for the balls. this'll work out costlier, tho i think i only used 200 in my last stint. I suspect he's got the prices so high because he doesn't have a definite player-base yet so can't buy the balls in the sort of bulk established southern fields can (not like they will sit on the shelf for a long period of time either - particularly not up here).

Post 27

Since i dont use facebook (the evil virus, waste of bandwith it is) is there anything else i need to know?
ATM its +2 tentative but should make it a definate in the next week.

Post 28

Yeah no worries. I will update the first post with who is coming.

Please fellas anyone who is Definate can you PM me your phone numbers and email addresses so that I can make a list of peops.

Post 29

Hey, is this still happening? and is it too late to come along if it is?

Post 30

Still happening bro. Send me your details and I can add you to the list bro.

Post 31

Edit:
There is currently only one more spot left. There may be some people that pull out if this is the case those who leave details with me I will contact and let them know that there is a new spot or whatnot.

If you can't remember if you have confirmed with me personally through facebook or here or on mumble - Check otherwise your spot may not have been there.

Post 32

Much as I'd like to go, I don't really know the others who're going.

Post 33

Sorry Lothar, but my car died this morning which means all my spare cash (very little as it is) will be getting spend on that.

But next time.

Post 34

Currently as it stands I have 30 people. Two are tentative at the moment awaiting to see if they are on their patrol boats (in the navy).

@Jaian next time mate you will have to bring your mates along - or take the plunge and meet some new people!

See you all on the field. I will post here and on FB too if anyone decides to pull out.
