SEQ Skirmish Meet

[AzzurrA]

Wondering if anyone would be interested in a Performance Forums skirmish meeting. Was thinking maybe the Samford one as it is supposed to be the best one in QLD, and also 'cause its in a central location to everyone (its about a 3 minute drive from the servo where the SEQ Mountain Cruise started from)

Bit early to tell yet, but if we were to go, i'd be hoping for at least between 10 and 20, more would be nice... :D

[daz]

Does it involve any driving activities? :D

[AxGT]

how much does it cost

[AzzurrA]

I can't find the exact figures, but if memory serves me correct... i think its about $37.50 for the 3 hour session..... and then whatever you buy on top of that is up to you.... I usually end up spendin $80+ on extra paintballs etc :D

Daz.... dunno..... maybe we could all meet somewhere beforehand and cruize out?

Oh, another thing..... the track that you go down to get to the place is a dirt track, with a cliff on one side and trees on another.... not enough room for a car to pass..... (there are bays for cars to stop to let others through) and it is pretty steep in some areas and there might be 1 or two big bumps... but if you take it slowly, its all good

I guess you could roll the top down and to drive bys from the mx5.

[AzzurrA]

Forgot to mention... that price for <$40 gets you everything you need... but you will need to buy more paintballs after a while

[ToyotaNut]

[evil_weevil]

ToranaFan,
What kind of numbers do you need? I have been trying for ages to convince the 'gang' to do some paintball. Probably could get 6-8 people in on it. When were you thinking of doing it? Got some friends who have a CS LAN every month or so with about 30 people showing. many of them would be interested too :)

keep me posted

Kiahatsiu: My thoughts exakery! :)

I'll be in if I can get a lift - no dirty gravelly roads for this mx-5! :)

[Eeyore]

sounds good to me... i'll stand by for details

[AzzurrA]

At the moment i'm just looking to see how many people are actually interested..... if your CS crew and some mates wanna come too, i guess thats ok, but we don't want TOO many

[cxturbo]

yeah, just curious on numbers. probably just the 'gang'. the CS people I only see occassionally. more fun to shoot friends, hehe :D

[h4l]

Is that 'topgun' paintball in engoerra???

If so those paint balls are damn hard!, they must freeze those suckers or something.

Although I don't mind running around like an idiot shootin wildly, hey it worked last time :)

[23Kev]

I have played on both the one at samford and the Top Gun one at Keperra (about 1 min walk from my house :) ) Anyway, I reckon the one at samford is a little better, nice open fields and some cool games.

I'll be in.....depending on day and date

[SR201600]

Put me down, it the best fun you can have standing up ............. well bloody close

[AzzurrA]

At the moment there seems to be alot of interest in this day, so it looks like its a go-ahead... I'll make sure that the booking is on a weekend so that everyone can come and i'll let you all know a couple of weeks in advance so that nobody can say 'i didn't know' :D

I found an old brocure that i had laying around from my last visit that outlines some stuff, so here it is!

[dirty_sandwich]

awesome, ill probably be in it for sure.
i didnt realise this topic was here so i posted in the genral forum.
that place u r talking about sounds good. cheaper than top gun i think. but furtherer away for me.
haha top gun paintball was sweet so im heaps keen for another go at it!

[Ironwulf]

For a paintball session to be fun, you're looking at at LEAST 2-300 more paintballs.

I played an 8 hour day when I was at ADFA, spent $600, but it was awesome fun, especially as I seemed to be quite adept at getting head kills. If you get a few trigger happy people together you can buy a box for much cheaper than the lots of 50.

I've played at the place ToranaFan is talking about, and yeah they make sure you have a good time.

[tony's_mx6]

:cool: there will be about 5 - 10 people including me sounds good

[AzzurrA]

What day would suit everyone best? a saturday or a sunday? Just want to know so we can start looking at dates

[AzzurrA]

*bump*

[Synchro-mesh]

Either is good. Maybe Saturday? Have sunday to recover from bruises before having to go to work on Monday?

[AxGT]

yeah sat would be bonza :D

[SR201600]

What hapen to this, is it still going ahead.

Either day is good ToranaFan.

[AzzurrA]

Thankyou whoever brought it back to the top, i couldn't find this thread :) Yeah, with all the cruizes going on in SEQ in the next couple of weeks/months i was thinking of putting it off until afterwards otherwise we're all going to be flooded with events and some people who would have come won't be able to or won't want to etc... so i'm thinking of just putting it off a couple of months, if thats ok with you all?

[Synchro-mesh]

Hmm. yeah. it'll give me some time to toughen up so the bruises wont' hurt so much!!!

Man! You reckon that's expensive? Where was that?

Last time I went to Paintball Pete's at Mt. White, I ended up spending $240.00!!! :eek: :D

I bought a few extra paintballs, that's all. :p

Tex

[Synchro-mesh]

Just a few???!!!

[AzzurrA]

I'm looking at doing it after the 14th of april 'cause that is the day that the Todd Wilkes memorial cruise is on, and a couple of weeks before that we have synchro-mesh's skidpan day.... after that the calenda seems free for a while, so thats where i'm aiming for... probably about 2 or 3 weeks after the todd wilkes cruise... sound good to everyone? Some people have suggested a saturday, while this is fine for me, how many of you people would be working?

[MotoX]

set any date and ill be there
bump

[Hoon Australia]

I know the one at Samford is good, but the one down on the Gold Coast at the War Museam is quite excellent. you need more tatics, because of the cover your enemy can get...then again, with a moving target like me, ya got alot to aim at.

Plus the War Museam could use the cash. They been struggling for quite some time.

[MotoX]

yea that war museam seem pretty good, ive been there, u used to be able to buy guns from there.
and it would be good to get a heap of ppl to cruise up there.

[AzzurrA]

what does everyone think of the war museum idea? if thats the case i'd probably let someone else do the organisation for it.

[Quick V6]

what ever im there just give me a date and time
