darn you're newbi at saying hello! get out and meet some people mate!!
on a more serious note... go out to meet some people mate! just turn up at any skirmish* with some good footwear, a good mood and cash for the walkon & rental!
welcome to the forums!
oh as for advice, have fun, be pleasant to be around, be honest, if in doubt, take your hits, dont get intimidated by the 'elite' players as they also just shoot 6mm plastic bbs.
lol fair play. A mate of mine has been convincing me to have a go as him and his girlfriend go quite often so hey seems like a good idea to get out lol
