(Interim) South East/London UKAPU Player Representative

[Asomodai]

Hello all.

 

Apologies in advance for being brash enough to consider this "Latest News" worthy 😉

 

I am unsure that it was a sensible decision but beyond all logic I have been voted in as the new UKAPU South East/London Rep. I have been a member of UKAPU since around the time of the Pandemic, they helped me with issues importing a RIF and I bought into a gold tier membership soon after and I have been committee "adjacent" for a little while. 

 

Most of you on the forum probably know me by now! I had taken a back seat in terms of the forum recently due to the personal circumstances (Divorce, selling all but 6 rifles etc!) But I am now back for at least a little while until I leave the UK in hopefully a year or so's time. 

I tend to play in London and the Kent area more these days since moving away from Dagenham and to London bridge.

I am here to represent the players in the South East, to give advice about South East sites, listen to your issues, criticisms, complaints and suggestions for the future. 

 

I have only just been confirmed into the post and I haven't had the official email address setup so far, but I will update this forum post with those details when I have them. For now if you need anything you can just PM me here. 

 

Cheers!

Congratulations Rob (if that's suitable ?), I'd have voted for you lol. 👍

Where you off to in a year, somewhere Airsoft friendly I hope ?

Congrats dude 🙂

Can't think of a more deserving bloke and as you are covering my neck of the woods even better 👍

 

Mr tackle would vote for anything with legs. 😉😂

Only joking. But thanks for working for the future of this crazy pastime.🙂

Retailer and site discounts for UKAPU came out about a decade ago 

 

Whether or not they remain or there are others is up to the retailer.

Just ask

 

But do bear in mind that margins are narrow, and dare I say it - technical support / after care are an expense to the retailer without income (unless they have an add on tech support service)

If a retailer can give a strong discount then consider whether they can offer any decent technical support 

(Let alone certified technical support which costs money to obtain - unless they are a big enough customer to the manufacturer gaining free tech courses)
