[FTO MEET] June Bank Holiday, Limerick [1st July 2008]

[Bernard]

Will you be getting an Estonian and a Latvian to complete the set..?

You won't find out unless you arrive*
*(note careful use of verb)

[Dragonheart]

Good choice of words Berno. Playing safe I see. (Not good choice of words Marty)

@ Marie - Yes, thats right, my baby gets very lonely when theres no other white FTOs around, she feels the others make fun of her cause of her extremely pale complexion.

But I always try to make her some new friends whenever I can.........

[Bernard]

It's looking like paintballing is winning, if no one objects I'd like to try and book it this week.

How many are up for it?
Could you also let me know if the +1s will be taking part.

I'll give them a ring today and see what times are available.

na mine wont!
she thinks the rain is too hard so i cant imagine her playing this

hey can ya get me a price too...

[TopCat]

Yup, I’ll be definitely on for that. I think herself is going to join us on Sunday to see what all the fuss is about getting a group of FTO’s together. This is turning into a serious size meet! Would there still be interest in a bit of a road trip Sunday evening after the Rally or are people heading home?

I just got off the phone with them,
We're provisionally booked in for Saturday, times to be confirmed.

It's €40 each with the game lasting for three hours, including 200 paint balls.
It's €10 per extra 100 balls for the trigger happy among you.

Its a pretty good venue for paintball - quite similar to the one in Tralee we were in last year.

PajEvo and JayVR (on this forum) have paintballed here a couple of times with me - I'm sure we could add them to the list for paintball on the day.

[Bernard]

I'm sure we could add them to the list for paintball on the day.

It's like karting, it's always better with a bigger crowd.

They're going to ring me during the week to confirm times, any preferences?
I presume something in the evening would be best, give the Dubs a chance to get down

I'm in. No +1 she won't be there[/b]

[d_dan]

rally is on Monday yea?

[Dragonheart]

Whats the 'P' for?
I'm in for the paintballing ya, have to confer with my cameraman about the +1 cause I think he has exams or something like that
Personally I think its a better plan to do the road trip the day before the rally, or the day after, cause time would be limited. Though if the weather was fine you could get some nice sunset shots, I'd be conscious of a lot of guards around after the rally though. But I am aware that some people wouldnt be able to make 2 days out of it so thats just my personal opinion.
Another thing Bernard, I'm one of those 'trigger happy' people, used over a thousand pellets the last time I was paintballing!

Sunday the first of June.
It must be in the thread at least six times now...

P is for paintball, I just wanted to get an idea how many are going although they seem flexible enough.
The consensus seems to be to have the activity on Saturday because we'll be house bound 'til six on Sunday.
As for a road trip, I'd say we'd have time before or after the paintball depending what time people arrive.

[d_dan]

bernard can ya get me a number for a local B&B if ya think of it

[TopCat]

Just to help Bernard with some of the questions...

There's a hotel in Rathkeale which is less than 10 minutes away.

Is 4 the best we can do for Saturday?
It's hardly enough to go paintballing, at this rate it might be better to leave it at the Sunday

[d_dan]
