I thought I’d run a quick news post about the wonderful article in the Daily Telegraph today concerning Airsoft in the UK. I had contact from a media company about it today; otherwise I wouldn’t have noticed it as I don’t tend to pickup the Telegraph much myself. Click the image for a larger version of the full article.
I don’t think much more can be said other than to congratulate the organisers, patrons and staff at Stirling Services who have obviously put considerable effort into collaborating with the author of the article.
Update 06/03/05: Ryan (aka Privatecowboy on the forums) sent over an update about the Stirling Event that was seen in the Telegraph on Friday. It’s nice to be kept informed as I didn’t know any more than was in the article. Apparently the event was one that the guys at AirsoftIreland.com were involved with in conjunction with Stirling Services. Their intention was to launch Airsoft in NI, but didn’t expect the mainland press to pick up on it.
Although no one is really complaining about the welcome side effect of positive news coverage, the article lacked a link (or even a mention) to the guys at AirsoftIreland who were actually part of things. More stories and photos from the event can be found on the Airsoft Ireland Forums; there’s also some nice photos in the Nitcu Airsoft Gallery under “Stirling Media event”.
