New to forum & UK paintball

[Castaway]

Hi all,

I'm new to the forum (despite having made this account ages ago), so apologies if I am breaching rules by starting a thread in this subforum.

I played tournament 5 man speedball/ airball for a good 6 years before taking a break for 10 years due to uni, work, yada yada yada. However I am quite keen to get back into the game.

Is anyone aware of speedball fields near Cambridge which host walkon events? Am I best off driving down to Brickettwood?

Also what is the best way to pick up a used marker in the UK? I note that eBay.co.uk doesn't host marker sales and I don't seem to have enough posts to buy from the P8baller thread!

Cheers,
Sergio

A worthwhile trip is to Penkridge in the midlands for the CPPS

For sales you gain privileges by making 20 posts over approx 2 weeks, the instant alternate method is to upgrade to Platinum membership

Thanks for this Tom, isn't there anything closer than the Midlands? Might be a bit of a trek for a day's play (4 hour round trip )

Hey guys,

I have been trying to find a speedball field somewhere closer to London than CPPS.

I spoke to someone from the Bricketwood field who said that the speedball field would be discontinued following Covid. Is this common news? I thought this was main speedball centre in the south. Am I missing something?

I was surprised to hear this given the number of London teams I saw registered in the CPPS divisions!

Where do all of the London teams train? I can't imagine they all travel up to the midlands every weekend?!

Just as a caveat to the above, speedball = supair (in my mind at least!)

Cheers,
S
