New player - London(Greenwich area)

[tsunamie]

Hi there,

My name is John.

Here's some bit about me.

* I have never air softed before.
* I am 30+
* Live in Greenwich borough (London)
* I was in scouts, air cadets and have done live battle training excersices.
* Not so healthy at the moment, hoping this will put me back in to shape.
* Bit of a prepper/survivalist
* Can drive and own a car.

I was hoping to meet a few like minded people who go regularly.
I was wondering the following?

* How do you guys meet airsofters?
* Do you need a team to go airsofting?

Regards

John

Hi John. We meet airsofters at game days, no need to be in a team, just rock up, sort your kit and play. The Marshals will take care of the rest.

Lots of folk turn up by themselves, just get stuck in and have some fun.

Probably makes sense geographically for you to look at the Kent sites. Quite a few AFUK members play in Kent and East Sussex.

Welcome . You meet fellow airsofters by going to airsoft sites and playing. Do not worry about turning up alone, most of us start out that way, and you will soon get talking to other players. We are a fairly friendly bunch and do like taliking about guns, kit, (some especially about technical stuff) and our experiences. Through this forum I have met up with several airsofters and played at different sites. So you could say that this forum is a place for lonely airsofters to meet. You do not need to be part of a team.

Best bit of advice - just choose a site, rent some kit, and go play. See how you like it; I wish that I had gone sooner as it is good fun. In the meantime read the sticky posts which contain lots of very useful information, use the search function, and ask questions.

Thanks guys, guess I will just rock up.

Hopefully will see you guys around there.

Looking into these places at the moment.

Try the Mall in reading as soon as possible too, for the sunday game there's lots of trains out of Paddington to arrive in reading before 9am.

The Mall is an excellent indoor CQB site and recommended. UCAP Sandpit at Dartford is a large outdoor site that provides a good mixed of terrain and buildings.
