What does your airsoft site membership get you?

[ak2m4]

mine is at The Mall in Reading. Paid £10 for the years membership and all that really got my is put on the Ukara DB..

Hang on, didn't the OP say his local was The Mall?  And they charged £30 ....

 they have different membership options with different "rewards"

but when i registered it wasn't worth the extra ££ for the rewards they gave

Ah the OP says they charge £30 and you get nothing!  Guessing there has to be some benefit for the £30 if there's a £10 option....

my membership at the gaol is 40 a year which gives you the following:

5 off each visit to the gaol making it 30 walk on fee

2 free games to use whenever (worth it alone)

10% off at hueys i believe

@springs and @ak2m4 if you read the whole thread it soon becomes apparent that the OP is talking bollocks everytime he posts. It really rattles my cage when someone gives bullshit opinions on things they obviously know nothing about.

That sort of thing affect sites reputations and is just pathetic.

When I emailed to ask what I needed to do to renew I was told it was £30. Whether someone told me wrong, or whether the info on their site is out of date I dont know. I definitely paid £20 for my first years' membership though not £10. And it didnt get UKARA registration either, I had to take it to a retailer myself.  

To dismiss it as "talking bollocks and bullshit opinions on something you know nothing about" is frankly unwarranted and plain rude. I've been in the sport for the best part of a decade now across various sites and would to think I know at least a little bit about it. 

 

[ImTriggerHappy]

They have never charged more than £10 for basic membership and yes you used to have to send the form they gave you to a retailer but the system has changed.

Every post you have put up has been full of inaccuracies so yeah bollocks seems a fair term. Slag the place or any other site you like I don't care as long as what you say is true.

There are a lot of Mall players on this site who will recognise that lots of what you have said is wrong so trust me I won't be the only one raising my eyebrows.

Don't care how long you reckon you have played I know the site well enough to pull almost every statement you have made apart so I do know something about it.

The place might have it's bad points and if you post those I will gladly agree just please stop making stuff up its bad for the game.

At Cornwalls Elite Airsoft, the walk on fee is only £20 pounds, after (I believe i could be wrong) 3 Games with in 2 months (like the UKARA) we are given a membership card which gives us 10% off everything at the shop. It has no effect on the green fee. I'm perfectly happy with spending £20 to play. 

Though, i would pay for a membership if the perks were reasonable. 

I would not pay £30 for diddly-squat and game days better be great if i was to be paying £40 per visit.

The OP had it wrong its £10 for no frills site membership and a lot of places do that for the UKARA side of things. The walk on fee is £37 which might seem expensive but they have 10 paid marshals on site and although its a derelict shopping mall its city centre location means site rent will be huge. 

They are not raking it in by any means doubt any airsoft site makes huge amounts but some of the £25 woodland sites probably make a lot more than the urban ones.

i should have researched, i didn't realise it was a urban site with that many marshals, the £40 fee seems very reasonable for a days airsofting in that manor.. once again my bad. 

I play at a woodland site with 3 marshals... so i guess my comment is invalid haha. My bad :'D

No worries you just proved my point that bullshit infomation can give people the wrong impression.

See @Tiercel have I made my point now? Bullshit is a bad thing

 At the moment im bronze but will probably upgrade to take advantage of the extras. They have loads of sites all round the country and i plan to us a few of them.  seeing im serious about  wanting to stay with the sport and progress my abilities  (only been playing about 6 weeks) i have been  taken to one side and given instruction on things like quick target acquisition. Speed shooting , diffrent stances from walkthrough to standing still. Really good guys ( even ended up getting my airsoft handle lost boi as kept getting lost  going there lol. unfortunately dont seem to be able to change name on my profile) Have to say im pretty please with how iv been looked after by them. I also go target shooting at bombup warrington who also have a place called the preyground (unfortunately i dont think bomup count towards you ukara but would be happy to be prooved wrong) these too are an absolutly great bunch of guys and cant do enought to help you! pluss they have an exelent gun tech called biff who for several friends that got me into airsof is the only person they will let touch their weapons.

Hope this helps

My membership is £20 for life time membership. (Stormforce aren't huge and the guy who runs it does everything dead cheap as he hates the "corporate" approach. E.G. 50p for a can of coke)

Having my membership knocks my £25 green fees down to £20 a day. (although they only run twice a month)

And that's it lol. Guess I get what I paid for, very little cost, very little reward.

lifetime discounts on site fees are a huge reward!!! 

Also I hadnt really looked at the memberships for the Mall.. Considering the £90 bundle as a tenner off gamedays is appealing. I play enough over a year to get this back, and its about time I got a UKARA number!!

@Jedi_Master does the discount also count for battle lakes or have you never asked?

I have never asked about other sites.

Where I play; £10 one off fee get's you a years membership and UKARA processed.

Play 3 games in a year and the UKARA plus site membership is renewed for free.

There's no real membership perks where I play...

Information.

They have one for every ten players.

I never do assumptions.
