Any ideas what's required to run a one off site?

Does anyone here know what steps are required to run a private game on private land? 

 

I know the basics like making sure I have liability insurance that covers Airsoft. Restricting public access to the land and providing adequate protection around the site to prevent stray bbs. I am also a fully trained first aider so this is covered. Risk assessment will be carried out before hand and so on. 

 

I ask as me and a few friends want to organise a one of land on some private land. I have a farmer friend who has kindly offered us to use his unused barn area. It's fully private land with full land owners permission and from my air rifle days I know this is considered ok but not sure for Airsoft and I want to organise it properly as some of my friends might invite their friends so I want to be covered legally incase of any complaints or issues.

If you aren't running as a commercial venture and are on private land and not charging money you don't actually "need" any of that.  However informing your local police station may be a good idea in case people report the arrival of camo wearing guys in the area

A carefully written waiver can be useful, if only just to record the participants are informed of and acknowledge the risks involved.

 

A private game with some friends of friends is really no different than any other game run by an actual commercial site, the only difference is, you are personally liable because you are not a company. (If not covered by your insurance)

 

Even a one-off event you still should do everything a commercial site would do, set up parameters, clean up the place a bit, remove risks, provide facilities, etc. Make sure the barn is not gonna collapse etc.
