Do I have to come as part of a group?

You can come as part of a group or on your own, either way you’ll be made welcome and everything  will be explained to you.

 

How are the teams split?

Most games run with two teams, each being given objectives which they have to try and achieve.  Marshals are provided to maintain fairness and safety and sometimes marshals will join the playing teams to offer backup or for specific event scenarios.

 

If you come with friends we’ll do our best to get you all on the same team, don't worry about being separated. Most players are friendly and inclusive, so if you want to come alone or in a small group you can be sure to find plenty of people to join when you're assigned to a team.

 

Special Event days may be subject to special team requirements, as with all our Special Event rules if you sign up for such an event you'll be notified of any special rules well before the event.

 

What does 'Walk On' mean?

A 'Walk On' player is one who has not booked but has brought everything they need to play, as opposed to a 'Hire' player who'll need to rent the equipment from us and who has not paid a deposit.  

We currently don't do Walk-ons at this time, its book only via the website.

 

What do I get in the Hire package?

Our Hire package of £20.00 (£10 on Evening Games) consists of a gun bag containing

 

  • Primary weapon ( G&G Firehawk or shotgun )

  • 1 mags ( additional mags may be available on request )

  • Face Mask ( Full Face required if under 18 )

  • 1100 x 0.2g BB’s

Players who have rentals packages will briefed together on the basics of the equipment they have been given and brief points on our rules.

Smoke grenades and Mk 5's are available for an additional fee (over 18's only). You'll be given instruction on how to safely use the weapons and all safety instructions will be fully explained.

 

Why do I need to fill out a consent or waiver form every time I visit?
