UPDATE: Nov. 16th Tech Class!!!

[cledford]

All:

I'll be helping AGD coordinate the proposed November 16th Tech class. For anyone who has not already heard the news - AGD is willing to provided a Tech Class as part of the Factory Super Tour/ Paintball Outing with Tom Kaye being held the weekend of November 17th. For further information on the Super Tour check out this link:

http://www.automags.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6136

The Tech class will be held Friday the 16th - providing we get together 20 guaranteed attendees. Class will consist of an 8 hour training session, followed by a 100 question, multiple choice certification test. Some of topics included in the class are: theory and operation of the AIR and RT valves, troubleshooting of the of the 2 valves, and basic & advanced repair. A more detailed list of topics will be posted later - but I'm hoping that we'll be able to go over the Emag as well. (This will up to AGD, and will be announced later)

There are currently several threads regarding the Tour and the Tech class, but to keep everything organized I need everyone who wants to participate IN THE CLASS TO REPLY TO THIS THREAD! (Regardless of what ever other thread you may have already replied to.)

Include in your reply the following:

- Your name
- Your City and State
- Your familiarity/experience with Airgun Design's products (Automag, RT, Emag)
- YOUR CERTAINLY ABOUT ATTENDING - Please choose on of the following 3 choices: 1) definite, 2) planning on it and mostly certain I'll be coming, or 3) planning on it but can't make any promises yet.

If there is a matter that is putting you category #3 that can be easily resolved so that you can be placed into category #1 (like you need a room-mate to be able to attend) please post that as well. We'll all try to work together to get as many in category #1 as possible.

Please post any questions to my email address at cledford@cw.net
I'll provide responses, or when appropriate forward the question to AGD for an answer.

Definatly comming - #1

[Muzikman]

Is there going to be any more information? I need to know if it is even still going to happen. If so, I need to change my flight and fly in Thursday night or Friday morning. Since this is only 2 months away, more info would be nice.

[cledford]

Just a post to keep things near the top, please let us know if you are coming/planning on coming.

-Calvin

[cledford]

I've got 12 for sures, and 3 possibles. Keep 'em coming - once we break 20 for-sures we can bug AGD about the details.

The plan is (as stated above) to hold the class Friday November 16th.

-Calvin

[Muzikman]

Well, some details might help now. Even if there is just a slim change but still a chance I will take the day off work on Friday and change my plane tix for Thursday night. But depending on what time this thing will start, I may not fly in until Friday morning so that I can work late Thursday. Simple things like this will help. Also, what happens if we get 20 people and say 5 back out at the last minute or not show up?

[the123]

I can help with 1 more for sure
His name is Henry Mittler
He is on my team and shoots an RT and Matrix.
Another guy is possible but I will post later.

What time should I get there. I need to know where to stay and if we need to bring our own paint for the outing the next day?
P.S. I am trying to get my whole team to go.

[the123]

if you want to go, you must e-mail office@airgun.com
I think they will still let you sign up. They want your names and if you are DEFINATELY going to the class AND tour or just one or the other. this thread explains it all http://www.automags.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=13317&highlight=tour
as far as lodging.. this is the Chicago area, you can find a hotel/motel that you have heard of without trying.. Try the internet. Remember the Tour/class is in Wheeling. IL and where we play at is about 40 minutes or so away in Glenwood, IL and it's field paint only there at http://www.ccpaintball.com/
See you there!!!!

[damageinc54]

Is there any charge to attend the tech class at CCP?

[Muzikman]

The tech class is at the AGD factory (as far as I know) and it is FREE. There is also a tour of the factory and then everyone is going to CCP to play alittle 'ball.
