    Me and my mates are completely bored this summer..all we do is hang around Malahide and it's getting really boring. Is there anything good and affordable we can do in Dublin?

    Volunteer to do some community work.
    See if the local youth centre is running stuff for older kids?

    Conservation workcamp in Killarney National Park - spend a week as a volunteer working high up in the forests helping get rid of invasive rhododendron with Groundwork (part of the Irish Wildlife Trust)
    Might be a few palces left on their summer schedule - www.groundwork.ie

    spent many a happy week/two weeks down there over the years ;)

    search on google or facebook for 'dublin event guide for free events' .its a weekly newsletter sent to your email on friday mornings and usually has about 10 pages of free stuff to do in dublin for the coming week. some of it will be for over 18s but you should find something useful there.

    cheers,
    marky

    some sites have rental available but you would be better off going here and visit the "retailers and sites" and "getting started" subforums first

    oh and welcome to the world of airsoft :cool:

    my 1st AEG was this and it was a fantastic AEG for the price

    you would be better off giving Tony a call in the Eirsoft shop and check out which AEG feels good to you but dont forget to vist the Airsoft forum on boards there is lots of info there.

    Nah don't bother with the shops. Get your AEG secondhand from the Airsoft forum for €100. Far better value and you don't have to turn up in dingy industrial estate shops where the half the lights don't work :D
