Copehill Down Village - 6th / 7th December 2008

Phoenix Rising II - The Crossroads

TA Events returns to the Copehill Down Village for the only event to take place this year in the crown jewel of Europe’s purpose built FIBUA villages.

Rarely do Airsoft players have the opportunity to play in such a prestigious arena, and the Copehill Down Village is just that.

However, it must be emphasised that TA Events has only a provisional booking for the village at this stage and that the village will not be secured until the middle of September.  However, the plan is to have the village booking secured before the tickets go on sale.

DON’T MISS OUT!

Copehill Down Village
£85 per player
