Being the President of RUAS, I have to plan ahead (something that was new to me until I took up the role in 2011). I usually look on the forums to see whats happening. Sadly, I don't have the money or the time to be everywhere but this is what I have noted down until mid March!
Club Related:
24th January - Give it A Go sign up, F&O The Mall Night game
3rd February - Give it A Go Skirmish @ F&O The Mall
9th February - British Airsoft Show
10th February - Youtube Film makers Skirmish
10th February - Club Skirmish @ F&O Thunder Ranch
24th February - UCAP The Wing (still in planning stages)
9th-11th March - Gunman Inter-University Competition
Skirmishes yet to be planned:
UCAP Virus
UCAP Bunker
CQB Tactical
Xsite Outpost
For the Youtube Film makers event, Aryan and myself have several interesting things planned, won't say too much about it right now but with the help of some friends it will look epic!
My airsoft calendar looks a lot busier than this as I am involved in a few private games and skirmishes that won't necessarily be club related.
The British Airsoft Show is something I'm looking forward to! A few of my favourite retails will be there and I should hopefully be there with the contour to record the day!
If you are in the area and have the time to come play, we are a friendly bunch and always welcome more players!

Started a blog
So I've finally got around to setting up a blog space so I can have a less restricted review format for my Airsoft antics. If you haven't read of my stuff before, I would encourage you to visit Airsoft-Squared - I have done nearly 20 reviews and most of them have been featured on the front page of the website. I haven't really done a formal introduction before so I'll start it here.

I have been airsofting for about 8 years, I played my first airsoft game in 2005 thanks to an old friend who had been doing the sport and thought I might like it. I played on an off for about 4 years however, the VCRA(2006) made it very difficult and at the time I didn't know anyone who was very helpful with UKARA. I eventually got into regular airsoft in 2009 just before I started uni. At the time I was borrowing a temperamental CA M16 VN and when I got my UKARA membership I went out and bought an M14. From that point onwards my airsoft habits became very much religious! I am now in my 4th year (Masters year) at University and I am the President of the Reading University Airsoft Club (RUAS). We are a reasonably small club that has been running for about 5 years. In recent years we've built up a good relationship and reputation with several sites, our more recent success at CQB Tactical where we had some very nice compliments about our sportsmanship and our overall playing style.
This blog space is going to act as an avenue for me to record down airsoft projects and also review products. I cycle through my kit incredibly quickly, arguable far quicker than anyone I know. To take full advantage of this, I am aiming to review a piece of kit over 3 months. This often means I wont be the first to review a product but I can guarantee it will be the most fair and factual review that I can produce. In the last 2 years I have been getting more and more interested in Airsoft DIY Projects, I know several friends who are very good with their mods and very creative so I am intended on publishing whatever we / they create!
Reviews to be coming are as follows:
Site reviews:
The Essex Range
CQB Tactical
UCAP VIRUS (when the new site is opened)
Products to be reviewed:
Madbull Gemtech Flare Function Tracer
APS ASR-110
KRISS VECTOR
Projects to publish:
WE SCAR GBBR Project
- Angry Gun recoil rod
- Angry Gun Stock tube adapter
- RA-TECH full CNC steel BCU
- Tango Down polymer magazine shells
- ACM UBR Magpul clone stock

I will also be moving over reviews from Airsoft Squared and putting them here
I am a student, I study full time and this is a lot of extra work. Please be patient!
