Paintball in the UK

[Auds]

Hi
I have played paintball a couple of time and thought I might like to get involved more. Question is how?

Nearly all sites are for Stag/hen party situations, with few walk-ons and those that are spread around the county.

So my question is how do you get involved? I live in the south of England at Junction 13 M25.
I do not have my own kit as I dont want to buy stuff I cant use!

Any information or advice would be appreciated!

Thanks

A

its a bit of a drive, (but then all paintball sites are) but Sparklie Chick has a site nr maidenhead. is that close enough??
You can hire equipment from there, or later on when you get your own kit, you can also use it there.

And trust me traveling that far you would by no means have traveled as far as some.

Check out the main paintball governing body's website on www.ukpsf.com where you can get a geographical listing of fields. After that its worth just checking their own webbies (if they have one) or just ringing up a likely field and having a chat to the field owner about coming along. In my experience the ones that I have spoken to are all more than friendly and will be able to give you some good help.

Of course, everyone here is more than friendly if you have any concerns or questions as well.

Good way to get involved is marshalling at a site near you, if that's a realistic option.

Plenty of game experience, get to see the "larger picture" when the paint starts flying, learn a bit about markers and how to maintain them, make some contacts and a bit of pocket money to spend on the sport.
