Another great turnout at The Battery!
Saturday was (as usual) the lower number day, which made it easier to flank and sneak around the Site!
Sunday ran with a "Full House" and Gameplay was intense!
Some players prefer the lower numbers and other players prefer the higher volume ot targets to chomp through!
This Site is shaping up lovely, thanks to feedback and the hard work from everyone behind the scenes!
Our next build day is Friday the 8th of December, just before our next Weekend of Fun!
Booking is OPEN - hope to see you there!

Enjoy the PHOTOS!

If you have never played Airsoft before - give it a try, it's AWESOME!
Thanks to the Rift Marshal Team as always!
See you next time

As alsways, we REALLY appreciate eveyone who takes part and supports our Events! This was a great Battle-Sim (a cut down version of our "Rift-Sims") and it was a fantastic day indeed, despite the NASTY Weather!



REDCON-2 on Sunday... Another great day of Airsoft with 182 amazing people! We hope you all had a great time!

P.S. massive thanks to the Rift Staff who get up at silly hours of the morning, work hard all day, then stay late to pack away! Without them, these awesome Events wouldn't happen!
Legends!


See you all real soon!

Thank you for supporting the Silence at 11am each day.
Remembrance Weekend means so much to many of us...
(My Grandfather was a Dunkirk Veteran, BEF Royal Artillery)
It is important we all remember and pay our respect.

We really appreciate the great feedback and support with regards to "The Battery" Lots of hard work and constant tweaks has certainly made Gameplay flow and the Site has gone from strength to strength!
PLEASE do tell your friends and share the link to the Booking Page whenever you can as this Site will only survive with a few more players!

On a side note - if you DO come along to play, please be reminded that the local residents would greatly appreciate it if you could keep your speed down and give way on the narrow roads! Thank you!

Enjoy the PHOTOS!

Our 3rd Game Day at The BATTERY was absolutely brilliant!
Listening to feedback from the opening weekend we have been hard at work by adding more defensive positions, covering off the angles that prevented easier movement & the additions seem to have made a HUGE difference and Gameplay was very good indeed!
Halloween is upon us and we were VERY fortunate to have some of the Zombie Crew join us from our much bigger Zombie Events! They did a fantastic job (as always) scaring the players and adding an extra level of caution and immersion to the day! We would like to THANK you all for sharing the day with us!

This Site has taken shape to be a very fun and exciting place to play & expect regular upgrades and new features as the Months roll on.
Enjoy the Photos and we hope to see you at the next Game Days on the 11th & 12th of November!

PHOTOS are ready to view - October 21st/22nd!

A SPECIAL "Thank You" to everyone who Played the Opening Weekend!

After Months of clearing and weeks of building, several setbacks, tons of materials, paint, screws, and hard work - we opened the Site for all to enjoy.
Obviously, like any project (restricted by time & budget) there is still plenty to do and add to make the Site the best it can be.
I went over budget by several thousands within 2 weeks of building!
Everything is SO expensive! My Credit Card Company is very happy with me at the moment
The Site was full of metal conveyor belts that spanned each side of all buildings, over 100m in length! All outdoor areas were overgrown with high stinging nettles and there was a LOT of hard work needed jut to get the Site "empty" for us to build.
The Reception, Shop, Safe Zone and Shooting Range didn't exist and had to be built from scratch and made SAFE.
Tonnes of Plywood, planks and Paint transformed the empty areas into usable and nice looking range and Safe Area with Tables.

Feedback;
Some players loved the Site, others found it lacking.
We advertised the Site as a CQB Site due to the fact it does have "Close Quater" elements. However, after receiving some very welcome feedback, we have changed the description to "Indoor Site" as not not let down anyone expecting a more dedicated CQB experience.
Having said that, we plan on adding a LOT more high defences, a few Meters apart, which will create a more intense CQB experience.
The whole Game area itself, although very playable will be upgraded to cover off "angles" that gave players inside dark areas an advantage over those who were moving through open areas. Easy to fix, only highlighted during gameplay.
Choke points, player numbers, respawn areas, lighting, cover and much more has been highlighted for change and improvement.
We REALLY cannot thank you all enough for playing and letting us know your thoughts!

I would like to thank the very kind and helpful people who came up in their free time to help build and tidy the Site - legends!
I would also like to thank the local community and neighbours who have made us feel welcome from the start.

It is EASY to criticize and poke holes in any new Airsoft Site, regardless of time or money spent but thankfully, even the negative feedback has been delivered in a friendly and supportive way and we are dedicated to make changes so the Site is the best it can be & reach it's potential.
We cannot please everyone, however, most feedback was very positive indeed!
Thank you all once again!
See you soon!?

SATURDAY 21st October


Sunday 22nd October

As always - thanks to the dedicated Rift Marshals for their hard work and support.

Now that's how it is supposed to be!
233 amazing players, great weather and fantastic gameplay!
As we always say - "The Players make the Day" and what a GREAT Day it was!
The Autumn Months are now rolling in and it will soon get dark earlier and a bit colder... never the less we will still look forward to running fun Games at REDCON-2
Massive thank you to everyone who came along to enjoy the day! Enjoy the Photos!

REDCON-2:
Every effort is made by R.I.F.T. Airsoft to ensure everyone who books in to play is greeted with friendly professional Staff, well thought out Games, interactive vehicles, amazing SAFE Site and value for money.
EVERYONE is Welcome - all we ask is that you respect eachother, the rules and play with honesty and sportsmanship.
Sadly, we had a group of players who clearly didn't respect the rules, Staff and other Players.

In life, people "judge you" on two main things:
What you say and what you DO...
YOU decide if you want to be liked and respected OR disliked and unwelcome.
Your actions are your own - no one can force you to be nice.

We can only apologise to players who DID follow the simple rules and enjoy the day as intened.
The Marshals work hard to try to resolve the issues reported and, to be fair to them, it is a tough job and can be very demoralising to say the least.
We do not like BANNING people but sadly, sometimes we have no choice.
Disresptectful & Rule Breaking people are NOT welcome at Rift Airsoft.

The BOMB DUMP
Now, this is a GREAT example of a brilliant day of Airsoft!
The feedback from this day was FANTASTIC!
Great Sportsmanship and HONEST Gameplay! Well done to everyone who played at the Bomb Dump.
"Players make the day" - all we do is set up the Envrionment for you to enjoy! Thank you all so much!

Note:
Airsoft is a fantastic Sport, Enjoyed by many, spoiled by just a few.
Everyone is Welcome, follow the rules and have a great day!
That's not too hard is it?

Enjoy the PHOTOS!
