Newbie - Lincolnshire / Yorkshire

I still consider myself a newbie, Ive played 3 games now and playing my 4th game on 16th Dec at lincolnshire airsoft club.

I have a few questions.. Im almost 19 years old and have played 3 games with lincolnshire airsoft club, How do i go about getting my UKARA license?

If anybody knows of other airsofting clubs around yorkshire and lincolnshire please drop a message i am willing to travel as this is my new found hobby!

Im also looking to purchase a RIF when i have the UKARA license sorted as i don't want to keep paying out for the hire weapons even though they are of a good standard i would like something personal.

and finally! What brand should i be looking at for a first choice RIF and say i have a budget of £300 should i allocate £50-100 of this budget on upgrades or just go all in £300 for an out of the box RIF?

Welcome to the forums

Speak to your site about getting UKARA.. it isn't a license though.

Heya matey; There's a few fairly nearby to your area; have a look at the UK Airsoft map. You've got Brit tac woodland outside Barnsley (The CQB is now shut, unfortunately)

Better Battles down near Mansfield, Matlock Combat Games down near...well...Matlock! Airsoft Commandoes near Pontefract, and if you can make the journey, Centurion just outside Scarborough.

Plenty more in your area, but those are my recommended ones for now!

Haha thats pretty funny, i actually live in Scarborough at the moment and travel between both Lincoln and Scarborough every other week!

Will give centurion a ring as i have a few Q's that i can't find from the website. Hopefully see you soon

Hey there!

I am from Driffield (few mins from Scarborough) - And I have just started airsoft at Lincoln, I am here studying at the University.

My first skirmish will be on the 20th January - I am also 19.

Be nice to play together or something!
