Quick thread hijacking!
I started playing at SWAT, started marshalling there too.
Used to knock around with the owner 'Ginge' Knaggs when he was my team captain. Do they do walk on's up there? Might be tempted to pay the old place a visit if they do.
As to a starter set up Munkeh visit Planet, (Manchester), and look at their starter sets. My other half got their Black Dragun electronic marker for £300 with a starter pack and it's pretty damn cool. Just remember to buy the best mask you can afford, that's one area you don't want to skimp on. Planet will do upgrades their starter mask is a JT Nvader and frankly it sucks, vision is poor and it hurts to wear, upgrade it to something better and save having to buy another one.
If you tell the guys at Planet you're a first time buyer they'll advise you on the range, let you get touchy feely with the markers, and TBH you don't want to buy until you've at least had hold of one. Some will feel "right" for you some won't try 'em and enjoy.
and no, PLanet don't sponsor me, I just spend loads there
