New to UK Airsoft scene

[Tzan]

Hi fellow airsofters !

I`m Alex aka Tzan , from Romania but I live and work in Kent. I am not new to airsoft but never played in the UK; here`s a bit of info:
Been practicing the sport since 2007 till 2015 when I first started at the age of 17 (in Romania) then I moved in Italy where I co-founded an airsoft club (Falchi Corazzati) with a bunch of friends and I`ve been a hardcore avid Mil-Sim player, attending the regular Sunday game but also hardcore 24h Mil-Sim Events (My team even got to play against the Italian Army in a charity exercise, also in a Castle ! Yes a bloody Castle !!! Of course, we got our a*** kicked, but I had the time of my life !) . Unfortunately due to personal circumstances I had to stop in 2015 and leave it all behind.  

Now I am seriously thinking to come back into it, since I totally miss it, and also have the time, however I don`t know where to start. 
I`m kind of lost since I don`t really know how things work here in UK 

Also I am curious if there are any airsoft teams/clubs willing to take me under their wing and give some guidance ? 

Hopefully I will see you guys out there soon ! And also since we are close to the festive season, Happy Holidays !

Welcome Alex, good to hear your keen to start playing again, this is a game that if it gets a hold of you, it never really let's go lol. 

Whereabouts are you in Kent ?

Welcome Alex.

Check the sites near you HERE

You'll have to check where they do Milsim.

Read about UKARA requirements HERE

Its annoying you have to go through it but that's UK law at the moment.

Lots of info on the forum so have a look around and hope you have a good time.

Welcome to the UK!

Oh wow you are right on top of Imperium airsoft. I haven't been but I want to, they host milsims and battlesims. They do also hire gear so you could do that until you get a ukara (three games over two months). It's not the only form of defence, which you need to buy a realistic imitation firearm (RIF), but it's by far the most universally accepted for retailers. Or buy a two-tone.

Oh yea ! The site looks nice, I will definitely attend a few times and sort out the UKARA. 

Then I can start gearing up. 

Thanks for the info
