First and Only Airsoft – ‘The Mall’New Site Opening Soon
From the same team that brought you ‘The Mall’, we now present a new site opening soon. First and Only ‘Fernhurst’ is based at the former ICI agricultural research facility in Fernhurst, Surrey. The site is made up of 5 buildings, the biggest being aprox 600,000 sq ft with over 600 rooms across 5 levels. All of this is set in 16 acres of mixed woodland and urban with road networks that will allow the use of vehicles. The site has some of the most varied terrain and features that you will experience in the UK, a truly stunning site! More details and opening dates will be posted soon

Feedback
One of the new Single Shot Zones
We always listen to players thoughts on how ‘The Mall’ plays and what will make it better. We extend that ethos to our newsletters and welcome players to send us feedback. If you have any other suggestions, let us know what your thoughts are!
Lots of changes across the Site
Over the past month, we have been busy down at the site acting on specific feedback relating to the game zone. One major change from last month, was the extension of the single shot zones into the main Mall service corridors. We have also been very busy doing more building work and changing things around (including lighting) to provide a more varied gaming experience. Keep the suggestions coming in!
Midweek Night Games?
Since The Mall opened, a number of players have asked us about running regular night games during the week. Is this something that would interest you? We could perhaps run a game from 7pm to 11pm on a Thursday night bi-weekly for around £25 walk on fee. With winter just round the corner, The Mall is a lot of fun to play in the dark. Fancy it? Do let us know.
Current Game Dates
Booking News Over the last year, some players have found it difficult to book up because of the sites popularity and dates being booked up sometimes 2 months in advance. This has changed and it is a lot easier to book at short notice now. We have also listend to players feedback and have now changed our booking policy to include a number of spaces for walk-on players (hire players still need to check) on the weekend of a game. So, even if a date is near booked up, we will keep 20 spaces in reserve for players who find themselves free that day and want to turn up for a blat. All you have to do is give us a call and either book over the phone, drop us a text or leave us a message on the site phone – 07904 724837
Event dates The Mall is gearing up for the opening of ‘Fernhurst’, so we will be open 3 Sundays this month and will postpone the MILSIM slot until Early October. Octobers dates will be posted as soon as we have news on the new site.
