Anyone in the north-west area of england (manchester/preston/bury) know of a place where i can find information on teams/practise fields/etc?

Im starting up paintball after 2 years of passionate anticipation of the opportunity!

im 18/male/manchester in fighting fit shape, easy-going and hard working, so anyone out there able to help me decide if its worth playing paintball from manchester, or if they have a team/league i could get details of, id love it!

just need help getting my feet on the ground, since i dont know where to start (paintball site finders SUCK at helping me and i cant find active UK forums)

im looking for any teams/fields who play/have sup'air, tourneys, league, anything!

I have quite a bit of woodsball under my belt and have been repeatedly told by the marshals that i should get in a team, BUT, the woodsball park i went to got shut down :( so ive lost my only lifeline.

get in touch with Markie C on these boards. He is at the Northern Quarter right beside Manchester airport and they train every week i think.

nice guy he is, am sure he will be able to help.

do any fields you know of run a league or tourneys of some sort? i really dont know what to expect, since im interested in anyhting, though 5 man, 7man and 10 man would be perfect.

ill check that place out now

all i know is that theres a MASSIVE planeteclipse shop right down the road from me, JACKPOT! think ill go there tomorrow and see if i can beg them for some advice, since they have a few teams in the area (all too good for me ofc).

Hi mate

We play at northern quarter with a five man team and would recommend it highly for training. Plenty of people there to help you out and plenty of teams train there and of all levels of skill.
