I have been trailing the news on this brand new airsoft site for a while now and was really excited to hear that they have now conducted their first live 'play test' and are open for business. Arena Airsoft of Grimsby offer me, and those from the Humberside & Lincolnshire region, a very novel and exciting indoor facility right on our doorstep (well, compared to some of the treks one has to do to get to a decent site these days).
"Imagine 10,000sq ft of purpose built arena, complete with atmospheric lights, sound effects and some of the coolest looking equipement and props. Grab your shotgun and pistol and head off into the claustrophobic corridors of a spaceship chasing aliens."
There is obviously a lot of grass-roots enthusiasm at the heart of this project as these guys have put an extraordinary amount of effort into the preparation and planning for this site. The first thing that caught my eye is that the Grimbsy gang are willing to fabricate imaginative 'sets' in which players can conduct themed games. This approach has to be applauded - and supported - as too many site owners think that just having a pice of land is all that is required to create a site these days.
Please give the Arena Airsoft site a quick look - I am sure you will be impressed, despite it's smaller size it has huge promise...

looks fun, although limiting games to 4 hours and insisting that people use hire guns is going to put some experienced players off.
I expect it will be a good way of getting new players into the fold, but there's little incentive for someone who works long and hard (at no little expense as well!) to go.
I'll try it out of curiosity, but it will have to be very good to keep me going.
Brit-Tac is first for my away game season!
Hi Spider - I can kinda see what they are trying to do - make the game of airsoft more accessible to people who otherwise might not try it. More like a cross between airsoft and laser-tag...
On the up side, they are having members and 'Pro-Nights' especially for more experienced players, where you can bring your own equipment.
All in all, I think it's quite an exciting venture and I would love to see more towns with this type of SSA (Small Site Airsoft) going on - it's very popular in Japan.
