Buddy, you could break into the scene by playing for one of the teams in the midland masters.
www.uk-masters.co.uk
Have a look at the leagues and try to get in contact with a team in the lowers that look like they turn out regular from previous fixtures.
It's well run, a fun day out, and the tournies are all around your area.
You could even turn up and check it out for the day and there are always teams looking for players cos their short. If you play alright and your not a idiot, more then likely you'll be asked again.
Plus you become a "master" overnight
