winter AO new england meet?

[syk]

OMG I hated the cement floors at Splatz dunno why I even played there, if I tried to run to my bunker off the break at that place I'd fall and feel stupid. :)

It's getting rugged soon..I think that will be just as bad (soggy!) but at least you dont slide.


I think NEPS is a good choise. New England Paintball Supply. There ya go. NEPS is the place!

www.splatem.com is their webpage.

Splatz in Portland looks good. I'm always bummed by the whole 4 hour session thing that indoor fields sometimes do.
I understand but I never know if I'll want to play longer.

hehehe, im a tinker, i love fixing and modifying things. :)

i mean, thats why my gun looks like it does..

I've never played at splatz, but from the peole I know that have, the complaint is the floors. When they get there indoor speedball put in I probably will though. Acme would be a good choice for the Maine guys< it being right in the middle and everything. There down fall is there lack of HPA. So a short drive in one direction from there would take you right to the barn at 202 (also right in the middle) And it's a great field (besides Nancy being a Diehard AGD supporter) I dunno?

[Will Wood]

Splatz would be a bad place for a AO meeting, trust me...lol.

NEPS would be a great place. Good air, cheap paint, good speedball, and some woods.

Friday the 8th

Hey guys,
I might be heading to P&L for free friday. I know it's short notice, but if anyone wants to hookup and play LMK.

Peace,
Leo Jr

what is free friday? how free is free, i could swayed into that. i need to learn my new emagnum!

[Mr Orange]

Free Friday

Free friday is free field fee. They play from 7:00 to 10:30 I think air is like 10 and paint is 50 for half or 90 a case. This is according to a friend. I will find out more and post. Hopefully my new e-mag will be in and we can learn'em together. No emagnum though maybe later.

PEACE

With regards to NEPS, I thought we were looking for a indoor place that we could get together for a winter AO day. And to boot the idea was to have it in Maine also.
I'd suggest we have it in Portsmouth, NH at PGX's new indoor place, but there are two things shooting that down.
One is, I don't think anyone has been to it yet. So we have no idea how it is. The other is that it's run by PGX. Oh, and did I mention that it's run by PGX.

So let's weigh the options.
What do we want?
1. Easier access for Northern NE?
2. Indoor?
3. Place where we can hang out and BS?
4. Price?
5. Ability to accomodate us?

That might be the criteria or there may be more.
What do y'all think?

LOLROF I almost fell off the couch reading that.

For some members, I don't think they would care.... but for others....

I am however, very glad that I was not drinking when I read that.

Any other location suggestions?

You missed the point there, I know you were planning one for the winter, I mentioned NEPS for a possible spring meet. As for the second part, whats your point? You have a problem with Maine or something

[Will Wood]

Yea, he's got a point..Maine sucks :)

I really don't like winter paintballing that much, I think we should def. have a spring one here at NEPS. Or anyplace less then an hour drive and cheap.

I love Maine. I go to Edgecomb/Damariscotta on a regular basis. My point was to accomodate the good AOers from Maine. I thought that Portland would be great access for the people from NH and MA. Splatz seems friendly and a good price, but they have a slick floor and 4 hour sessions. This is based on their web page and what everyone here has said.

Where as BPS in Somerville, MA also seems nice. They have carpeted floors. Longer sessions. Higher paint prices. And don't seem to want to have us "hang" around. I agree with Shartley on the last one, half of the reason I would go would be to hang out and BS. This is not say that if we had enough people showing up they would not be more flexible.

Well, IIRC, dansim was going to check out the tourney schedule at CCPB, for a possible day there. Also, there is a indoor place in RI (not sure where yet). I might just have to go check that place out once the Tribal comes in. Any other suggestions? We should start throwing out dates and places, so we can organize for a vote.
