UKAPU Regional Representatives

by News Fairy

UKAPU have appointed two regional representatives but they are still looking for more:

United Kingdom: Matthew Furey-King, Chairman of United Kingdom Airsoft Players Union (UKAPU), announced that UKAPU have filled two regional positions in the United Kingdom. The new representatives, alongside UKAPU’s committee, will allow the organisation to communicate more effectively with players around the country.

Paul Cook, owner of Armour Defence Group Ltd & Armour Tech Airsoft, has been named the UKAPU Representative for Scotland. A regular attendee at Section 8 Airsoft, Paul will be the voice of UKAPU in Scotland and is ready to answer any questions players have.

“I am looking forward to taking UKAPU in Scotland to the players, making sure they have the right representation for our sport,” said Paul Cook. “Bringing all the players into one organisation, as the more voices there are, the stronger we are as a group. Better that than individuals or small groups, it will be a challenge but I look forward to uniting Scottish players for one goal: keep airsoft our sport.”

Ben Simmons, of Bradford, West Yorkshire, has been named the UKAPU Representative for North England.

“I joined UKAPU to see if I could make a difference when it came to airsoft and player representation,” said Ben Simmons. “We have been a hugely underrepresented sport and that has shown in the legislative efforts of various bodies when it comes to our exemption.
“I am also hoping to bring university airsofters together and get them some real support, as they are some of the most persecuted of our players due to the nature of Students Unions. I came through the uni airsoft and I know how bad it can be for those students.”

Steven ‘Wallace’ Morley, owner of Skirmish the Stan, Skirmish Airsoft Sherwood Forest, and Skirmish Airsoft CQB, has also joined the organisation.

“I joined UKAPU as I firmly believe in what the organisation stands for,” said Steven Morley. “I also intend to help in any way possible to support their mission to strengthen and defend both the sport and its players from criticism and attack at every level. I hope to help move the organisation forward by helping raise its profile wherever possible.”

Positions still available in UKAPU:

  • UKAPU Representative for Wales

  • UKAPU Representative for Northern Ireland

  • UKAPU Representative for the Midlands

  • UKAPU Representative for East England

  • UKAPU Representative for the South West

  • UKAPU Representative for the South East
