That's it for 2011, in Samoa they are already celibrating 2012. Here in Holland we also start our preparations. 2011 was a great year for airsoft and our website NLAIRSOFT.COM!
2011 has been a great year for NLAIRSOFT.COM, we have gone social with 320 fans on our Facebook page and 320 followers on our twitter account (over 3700 tweets! W00t!). A great start! The community is still growing strong and the NLAIRSOFT.COM crew is working hard to improve the website even further. In 2011 even more visitors have found their way to the NLAIRSOFT.COM website. For 2012 we have BIG plans, more information on that soon. Perhaps a new website? Maybe a new logo? A mobile website? Or mobile app? Or maybe all of this? :D Stay tuned! In 2013 NLAIRSOFT.COM will exist for 10 years! We really would like to celibrate that big time! :D

My Dear friends,
Christmas is here and Our hearts grow tender.
This is the special time to devote our love to the ones we care and to forgive the faults whatever they may be.
It's also time to share with those in need, to remember that not everyone has the luck of some. I
t's small gesture on our part, but immense to those who so desperate need our warmth and affection.
So in this peacefull season, let the spirit of love gently fill our hearts and homes.
Merry Christmas and may God's grace be with you all.
NLAIRSOFT Team

They had their first relaunch back in September 2008, we hope this is a permanent stay!
