St. Bede Nerf Outing #1

Let me start the recapping by saying a massive thanks again to all the good folks at St. Bede the Venerable School. Specifically to Mr. Guerin, Mrs. Edwards, and the Schmidt Brothers for enabling and helping us here at the CLDTS to put on this event. Total there were 37 Attendees, which is the largest Chicago-area Nerf Outing EVER!

Here are the pictures:

Some of the highlights from the outing:
- Great to see all the new people getting out there and Nerfing
- Using the gym mats and pads to safely make some awesome cover
- The truly epic rounds of Capture the Flag
- Getting the "Defend the Fort" gametype to work! :)
- Watching over 1000 darts fly during the various rounds

I'd love to hear what everyone who attended thought of the outing! Feel free to post in the comments. If you are having trouble getting any of the pics, or have any questions feel free to email me at: Snake.cldts@gmail.com

Awesome War!

Hey guys, Snake here.

Awesome Outing on Saturday. Big thanks to St. Bede, their principal and head of athletics, the basketball coaches who helped out and all the attendees! Without everyone helping out we couldn't have made it happen!

I'm going through the pics at the moment and they'll be up tonight tomorrow! Stay tuned!

**Feel free to post your post-war thoughts on the outing!**
