ok we got: Mongo.....hamburgers, buns and condiments mateba....homemade ice cream (chocolate chip) electicblu..chips and hotdogs
this is a pot luck dinner. We should all try to bring something to it. We could use baked beans, mac and cheese, plates & cups, fruit salad, grilling vegetables and drinks. These are just some ideas and if you have your own that is great. When you decide what you are going to bring post it that way we don't have duplicates. thanks mateba

I just saw this thread this evening and I would be willing to help in this effort. Vacation is taking me away to Florida this weekend but I will try to plug in where needed. The idea of organizing the state has been on my mind for awhile and I feel it will be very beneficial to airsoft in Alabama.

I think now is the time to start discussion of the agenda for the meeting on Saturday.
A few things I know we need
Whiteboard or large chalkboard on stand Bring a chair Bring any screws or materials you have laying around, we especially need hose pipe, as we want to get a shower in the next couple of weeks. If it has a couple of holes in it, no prob, we will repair
We have a few folks on food. If you guys want to eat, get on board, otherwise, I am going to the Rocket drive in. So, speak up on what you are bringing if you want to eat supper, if not, we need to decide now
Enough of that
Agenda items
Mission of organization
Gun rules and limitations
Safety equipment
Field interaction rules
Player interaction rules
Mutual game support and hosting system(we come up with a calender that prevents ops from scheduling on the same weekend)
CQB Special Rules
Sniper Rules and age limits
Special weapons and usages
Election of Administators to handle said organization including webmaster
That is all I have

Hey all
The following was set forth by bullfrog as our "mission" or purpose" I propose we accept it as written, thanks David.
"Airsoft Declaration Of Purpose"
Preamble We, the players that make up the Airsoft community, are united by a common goal. A goal that inspires us to take a positive stand for the principles and ideals that makes Airsoft such a viable and worthwhile activity. As individuals, as well as a community we offer this document as a pledge to uphold certain standards, so that there will exist an image of honor and trust not only within the Airsoft community but also within the nation at large.
Philosophy Airsoft is more than just a physical resemblance to military organizations and the use of replica weapons to enact military simulations. At its core are all the elements that make any sport or social gathering worthwhile and beneficial.
Key to the popularity of Airsoft is an underlying code of honor and fair play. Due to the nature of the game, cheating and unsportsmanlike conduct is very easy to get away with. It is a testament to the high quality of the typical Airsoft player that this sort of behavior is not a major problem at organized events.
Like any important sport Airsoft is more than just a physical exercise. Teamwork, cooperation, ingenuity, strategy, and planning are absolutely essential for the successful completion of an objective in an Airsoft event. So many factors have an effect on the outcome that it stretches the mental, emotional, and physical capabilities of participants. And just like more traditional sports, Airsoft has a multitude of 'positions' that players can plug into as talents and abilities allow. But unlike many sports, age, gender, race, creed, height or weight does not exclude anyone from excelling in the sport of Airsoft.
Aside from the mental benefits of Airsoft we cannot stress enough the physical benefits and the safety aspects of our sport. When the average player has spent all day walking, climbing, and running through rough terrain with up to 40 pounds of gear there is little doubt that he/she has gotten a good physical workout. Avid players will also spend extra time training and exercising in preparation for periodic events. A major advantage that Airsoft has over many other team sports is the inherent safety, as well as low bodily stress due to a non-contact environment . An occasional BB welt, twisted ankle, sun burn, or poison ivy rash is the extent of hazards that Airsoft players encounter.
Let us not forget the good feelings that spending the day with like-minded people can instill in us. People from all walks of life forget their differences and focus on the ideal that a friendly exchange of BBs in the woods is a good way to spend the day. Rarely will you find hard feelings and hurt pride after several hours worth of simulated combat. Also, the sharing of friendly stories, information, supplies, gear, and tactical suggestions are a hallmark of an Airsoft event. There truly is a fellowship that reaches across barriers and attitudes.
Pledge of Conduct We of the Airsoft community, pledge to do all that we can to uphold a high standard of conduct and to help educate those who are new to the sport of Airsoft. This conduct standard includes the following basic rules and is intended as a guide for all Airsoft enthusiasts in order to exemplify the best qualities we all aspire to.
1. To follow the rules of play set forth by Airsoft event organizers and to choose honor before reward. 2. To always play with safety in mind, including appropriate eye protection, observing minimum engagement distances, and keeping anger at home. 3. Keeping all Airsoft weapons out of sight of the general public. 4. Never pointing Airsoft weapons at anyone, except when on the event field and only when everyone is wearing eye protection. 5. Never play Airsoft on a public street or in a populated neighborhood. 6. Comply immediately with Police orders if confronted for any reason. 7. Notify local authorities if there is even a small chance that an event might cause concern with people in the area. 8. Know and abide by the federal, state, and local laws associated with the use and ownership of Airsoft weapons
Conclusion The sport of Airsoft adds value to the national good. It is in everyone’s best interest to do what we can to protect and support a positive and safe Airsoft image. Be above reproach. Make yourself a step above the norm. Let the good Airsoft image begin with each of us.

Sounds like a nice declaration. I'll abide by it easily, it's seriously common sense issues, but needed to be pointed out.
Sorry about not being around much more to make good on my assistance offer, I've been a little pre-occupied with family matters and commuting to MN a bit as of late.
