BERGET X
CHARITY CHALLENGE
Next June will see a small group of
intrepid airsofters – The 13th Regiment –
trek 3,200 miles across Europe to raise
money for Help for Heroes and The Royal
British Legion. The road trip – Operation:
Sundin – will end at the annual Berget
airsoft event in Sweden.
Organiser Rob Campbell said: “We are
looking for 30 players to take part and
each player has to commit to raising a
minimum of £1,000 in sponsorship. We
have already got 10 interested players so
I think we should have no trouble filling
the seats. We are delighted that Airsoft
Action will be sending an embedded
reporter to cover the whole experience.”
Driving ex-MoD Landrovers, the nine
day, 3,200 mile experience is preceded by
a mechanical infantry boot camp at Stirling
Airsoft where players will learn the art of
fighting from a light vehicle.
The Landies will be used in Europe’s
largest airsoft event, with more than
2,000 players, as a Quick Reaction Force.
The first of the Landrovers was bought
recently and others are on the way. Each
will undergo an extensive overhaul and be
refitted to make them ready for the trip.

ASYLUM
TRAVELLER
THREAT:
PETITION
Skirmish site The Asylum could become
a travellers’ site if plans to repurpose the
ground are not halted. An online petition
objecting to the plans has been set up in
response.
The Wyre Forest Planning Committee
has proposed making the Lea Castle site,
on which First and Only Airsoft’s site sits,
a gypsies, travellers or travelling show
peoples’ site. If the plans go ahead The
Asylum would be forced to shut to make
way for travellers.
So far the petition has gained more than
500 signatories. To add your support visit
chn.ge/FirstOnly – or Airsoft Action will
never get a chance to play The Asylum!
