Southern Pirates
1992 at The Princess of Wales Royal Regiment Army base in Borden. Splatmasters and some "masks" (and I use the term loosely) that would never be approved for use today.

A year and a bit later after much persuasion I dragged all my mates for a day at Camouflage near Petersfield. We paid extra to hire semi's whilst everyone else at the site had pumps. Boy were we hated LOL We were split between the two teams and we were used as machine gunners on both teams :) Awesome Day !! :)

Age Then: 17 (first time)
Age Now: 35

You gotta be 13 to play there....

You're saying you played there at age 5/6?

There's a couple of others on here I call shens on too.

Nothing compared to Mr John Cashmore however, as he like to remind us, he has been playing longer than most of us have been alive

1981 Mayhem, sussex at Paul Wilsons woods before sites were even formed and before the great electrical revolution, using crossman pistols (50 cal, already been there and done that) uvex goggles with woodstalk faceplates
