New date, slinging near Antwerp
Mar 7th, 2006 at 1:28pm
 
Saturday 8 April 2006.

What?
A meeting of people who like to sling.

Where?
Antwerp, Belgium, meeting at the central train station and the slinging will be a short tramride away.

When?
Saturday April 8th, 1300 hours, that is 1 PM for those using the 12 hour clock.

Why?
Because it is fun to share your hobby.
To help each other, if wanted, to become better.
To be able to talk about something no body ever thinks is a normal subject of conversation.
And for many more reasons, you can think them up yourself.

What else?
Dinner, afterwards we will stay in town for dinner, we decide on the day where we will eat.

Will this meeting also be canceled if there are not enough people coming?
Less likely, but if there are too few we might just go out as friends rather than have a slingmeet.

Can I bring friends?
The more the merryer, so bring a few friends each, if possible.

I had hoped to meet some of the people coming on the chat today, but alas, no luck.

Let me say that a week before the date you get a PM, that gives Taiki and me some time to work out details like where in the station to meet.

We still need the bucket of slingable stones, I am traveling by train and will not be able to bring any....

  a  bucket of slingable stones ?
Tongue

in a little bit of time you can sling away a lot of stones... Grin

is it easy to find your ammo back at the sling spot?
Maybe i can make some nice colored metal glands.

The plan is to sling into the river, so we will not be able to re-use the ammo. But if Taiki can find us a field where we can sling I do not mind at all.

well i'll give it a go right now i'm playing with the idea of having this thing right outside my front door on that large field thingy where the kids play soccer sometimes we have a nice earth mound there as a backstop if we want to have a target practice to go for full range isn't an option cause well its in a suburbian like area so the question is ...

what would you guys prefer to do  Grin

hi,
does anyone have a sling with a 6 inch (150mm) pocket? if so, and we have the room, it might be worth bringing a few tennis balls which we can sling to each other like in a game of catch.

Neal,
I make sure to have a tennisball sling with me, and maybe tape and string to make a fast sling in any size wanted.
