Whats up guys, after a recent move from Canada Im now in the UK and want to get playing again. My previous experience had me on a 5 man team,front player, tourny level ball.

Ive got a few questions if anyone can answer and clear things up id be much appreciated!

1)I am not sure but from browsing many paintball websites in the UK, gun owners/walk on players dont seem too excepted? from what I see if they are its only once a month or somethin crazy like that ?!?

2)Paintball gun owners/walk ons are they permitted at most fields? and are rental players and owners seperated?

3)I reside in the south of the UK near Brighton, are there any speedball/recball fields nearby running games?

Thanks for any feedback, happy ballin :)

1)Dedicated walkon days tend to be run monthly, players are welcomed at such sites.
Some sites dont welcome walkons/own gunners. Either because they gear their business to the casual punter player, or they have had bad experiences with 'punter hunter' own gunners

2) Mostly seperated, but some sites do allow walkons to join general customers.
This is not ideal as they are mostly first time players

3) Probably....wait for the locals to pop up.

Down in Brighton hey, Holmbush paintball does a Walk on once a month which is semi-local to you.
I'll be there along with a few others, we'd be more than happy to see a new face there.
It's mostly mixed games in the woods with some speedball games.

All information here bud.

Geo 3 hands down !! tourny wise mate you have the UK masters at bricket wood which has now finished you also have the winter series there too, There is a winter series at Combat UK where we London Impact train.

You also have formula 5's - all the above may be a little out your way but something to think about
