The Mall: News from First and Only Airsoft

Here’s a copy of the first newsletter from First and Only’s “The Mall” to keep you up to date with what is going on there:

This Edition

• One year on – Special Offer
• Changes to the site – Your Feedback
• Game Dates

Dear player,

Welcome to the first F&O ‘The Mall’ newsletter. Seeing as it’s the 21st century we thought we would join it and done some of the new fangled email marking jazz.

In this newsletter we’ll not only keep you up to date with everything this is going on but give you the chance to provide your opinions and feedback to make playing the site even better. We hope you find it interesting, do get in touch if you have any suggestions!

Sincerely,

Lee Fields  (First and Only Airsoft – ‘The Mall’)

Birthday Special Offer

Cake! Cake! Cake!

Since opening at the end of May 2009, The Mall in Reading has been going from strength to strength. We would like to thank every player and team who have helped make The Mall such a phenomenal success. To celebrate and to say thank you, we are doing a month long promotion. From 13th June to 11th July (excluding special event or private hire days) we are lowering the entrance price for walk-on players to £30 (normally £35) and F&O members will get their normal £5 discount off as well. Also, if you play in a team and book 10 or more players, we will give your squad 1 free walk-on place for every 10 players that attend on the day. We look forward to seeing you over the coming months.

Feedback

Proposed Single Shot Zone

As many of you know, we like to keep up with players thoughts on how ‘The Mall’ plays and what will make it better. We thought we would extend that ethos and give players the opportunity to send your feedback. This is for specific items that we are thinking about changing to make ‘The Mall’ play better. Have a think about the details below and let us know your thoughts.

To full auto or not to full auto? That is the question!

Everybody knows that the service area’s behind the shops on the main mall level, especially just outside the main stairwell, which can be quite heated. These are full auto but lead to the single shot stairwells. We have had feedback that these areas may play better if they were all single shot (like the stairwells and basement), so we are looking into what  is viable.

Milsim rules

We are thinking of  running Milsim rules (Mid/lo cap mags & limited ammo) days at ‘The Mall’. These would either be ran on a Saturday on alternate months on the regular gas ‘N’ spring day slots or a dedicated Sunday (replacing a regular open day) once a month.

What are your thoughts on either of these two items? Do get in touch! We may not be able to answer every email but we will take your opinions seriously and they will have a big effect to our decision making.

Let us know what your thoughts are!
