I've decided to make it a goal to visit (and possibly review) all of the major outdoor fields that have Airsoft skirmish days within +/- 90 minutes of Toronto.
I had originally wanted to go to
Ultimate Paintball this weekend because their FB page had been so responsive and encouraging, but unfortunately I have commitments Sunday.
Another field that is open on Saturday other than Devil Dog Airsoft that I'm interested in is
Clarington Woods Airsoft.
My son and I will be travelling up there from the Eglinton and Allen Road area, departing at 8 AM. We have two (possibly three) seats free in our sportswagon, with plenty of room for gear in the back.
If you can make it to the Eglinton West TTC station for 8 AM, we can meet you literally across the street from the station.
Because this is a holiday long weekend, traffic will be heavy in the morning, so I want to leave as close to 8 AM on the dot as possible. This is military time 0800, not "Island-time" 8'ish'.
We can, with some advance coordination, pick up people along the 401 on the way as long as you're not more than 3-5 minutes off the highway - so if you're in North York, Scarborough, Pickering, Ajax, Whitby or Oshawa and want to come, just jump in.
Chipping in money for gas is appreciated, but if you are a student or have a cash-flow problem at the moment, the trip is on me. I figure we're going anyway, might as well bring people for the ride! Pay what you can.
We'll stay there for the day, leaving around 4-4:30 (field closes at 4) and return to Toronto around 5:15-5:45.
I'm a 43-year old father with a mature 12-year old son who will also be coming. I'm told I'm easy to get along with - I take the game seriously but I'm also more about fun than winning or kills. I'm looking for people to play with on a regular basis, but nothing so formal as a team yet, so here's a chance to meet people and get to know the community better without committing to anything.
