have a look at this peeps. XI airsoft. I can book this place out and all weapons are included. 
 

just need to purchase extra bb. Need old clothes and footwear.

 

i know most of us are old but a private session we can roll at snails pace !

 

let me know what you think. It’s great fun

Biggie 

U sure, i mean Don't wanna be rude by kicking ur ass there xd

[Bazza]

Cheers Raven. That date is final now yes? I'll check my rota tomorrow, to see if no bugger has a hol then.

[Totty]

I've booked for the friday and saturday night at the Premier inn,

@BiggieUK let me know if I need to ping you money in advance for the airsoft

[Hatchetman]

Hi All,

Im afraid this is the only dates i cant make ffs got 70th and 80th suprise party on the sat night. if dates change or we have another meet up count me in. pissed off now!

[AbuXI]

Aww shucks, I'm not back n the UK until April. Have a blast & be safe. Great coordination guys on getting this sorted.

[Wardogs411]

getting my visum next week, so i'll be booking a room then once that is settled.

[Totty]

I've spoken to    @BiggieUK  and he is a bit over run with other things at present,

So has asked me to try and arrange who is planning on coming and organising a preffered date for everyone

So on that basis if you can post your name here again and whether you can make friday the 8th March through to 10th March, alternatively will try and find a date agreeable with everyone interested

The Hotel will be as posted previously,

The airsoft event will be held on Saturday 9th March.

I am planning on driving up on the friday staying over at the hotel, Airsoft on Saturday, Then I'm sure we can find a bar/eatery for the evening and then leaving on Sunday 10th march 

That's the plan for now so please if everyone can confirm they can make that weekend and then we can move forward from there

Thank you

Also my wife will also be coming,

Mainly to sit behind me saying 'on me on me' and 'They're in our spawn'

So if other partners wanted to go then I'm sure there can be a girlie get together sorted at the same time as the airsoft, If that's of if airsoft is not their thing

[Wardogs411]

ok for me

[KicknDatAzz]

wow, looks like you guys will have a blast.

[baldie]

I will be there Friday / Saturday not sure about Sunday though because I should be on call that weekend. I have someone willing to cover friday saturday but not sunday yet 

[baldie]

Well I have booked and paid for the hotel for friday and saturday so there is no backing out now 

[Duffy]

 my opinion premier inn are not what  they used ta be when they first came out yea would pay £152 for 2 nights I can  get 3 nights  for that price and its a 15 walking distance from the premier inn if that's ok with you guys .just been back from London and the beefeater I worked many years ago got a premier inn built on to it and they charged the same as in Darby  my nephew paid £140 cause it was a late booking and that was 1 night .And I was thru ta sun for £120 that was Twickenham and that was a Travelodge .your just sleeping in the place not moving in .I've got friends down there so ill be staying if the work lets me  off the Friday and Monday. I only work part-time and mon and fri  are 2 of the days I work. Oh my son said he would give me his p5 unfortunately his gear don't fit so its £60  for that . the grub looks good  but if drinking kabab later will do .

 

[baldie]

Hey it will be good to see you and it does not matter where you stay. I only booked there because I am Lazy 

[Duffy]

that cool just need ta check way the boss man but ill be there I need ta save drinking money  somewhere and hotel is perfect.

[Totty]

I need to change my booking, but was going to wait and make sure everyone could make the new dates before re-booking.

@Duffy I think @BiggieUK just chose that hotel due to location, but any other hotel in the local area would be fine

[Duffy]

yea thanks it will be a good w/e
