PopRocket123 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 The first site I ever went to and still my favourite. Such a shame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rogerborg Posted July 21, 2020 Supporters Share Posted July 21, 2020 Sad news, I hope they get a new venue ASAP. We'll always be a tenant-of-last-resort, I fear. The local outdoor has been kicked off site twice in three years, and is getting less "local" all the time as it relocates further into the sticks.

Groot Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Saw the news yesterday. Gutted for Russ and the team. CSW is really an excellent site with superb management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venomous Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Sad news indeed, I first started playing CSW regularly with the DolphiN Team in 2002. Even when we moved back to Derby, I still came down - setting off at 05:30 in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaylordofwaargh Posted July 22, 2020 Author Share Posted July 22, 2020 This was my first site, my favourite site. I often traveled down from London just to play. Great marshaling team, It is the woodland site I did a shotgun load out on and this still is one of best days plastic slinging. Most frustrating about this is that the next use of the site will involve tree felling, those that know the site know that there are many wide paths that need a little love...and a few boots that need rescuing. I won't be able to make the last games, but damn sure I'll be there for the first of the next site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamal Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Me and my stepson went to last sunday game.great day. Missed the legendary lunch though lol. They will return....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stodgy Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Noooo absolutely devastated. By far and away my favourite site. Going to be a struggle now to work out where else to go as I love the format of the day, the long games and the staff/organisation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchet Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 We took the fort down yesterday. Just a big empty space there now, very strange. Front bridge and tower at the village is gone, Wendy house gone. The village mostly still stands, but I expect that will be another day's work. Having played there for around 20 years, I can't express quite how gutted I am by the loss of the site. This year has been... sub-optimal. Still, the one thing I do have confidence in is the CS staff. A new site is a question of when, not if. Can't say I'm going to enjoy the wait, but maybe it's time to visit some other sites in the meantime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting 50 odd players over to it might be an issue though😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost worth having a cheeky pirate/hostage game on the boat in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
