R.I.F.T. News

UPDATE: Monday 1st of June.

Hello Everyone!
Thank you for visiting the R.I.F.T. Airsoft Website.

Our last Event was on the 22nd of March (the day before the Official Lockdown on the 23rd) & we have cancelled every Event since that day.
Supporting the NHS, Government Guidelines and looking after one another is our primary focus - this goes without saying!

We receive messages on a daily basis from our Members & Loyal Player Base, asking after our wellbeing and when we plan to run Events again.
Everyone at R.I.F.T. is well & VERY much looking forward to returning back to our Sites as soon as possible.
AT THE MOMENT WE ARE STILL CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
(We hope to be back by July!?!?!)

As we can all agree, when we DO return, it will not be the same.
Social Distancing, Hygiene & Responsible Attitude regarding the "possible spread" of the Virus must be observed at all times.
R.I.F.T. Airsoft will introduce measures to comply with the guidelines & we will have to insist that all participants support the new measures at all times.

Running an Airsoft Site is costly. Staff, Site Rent & other business costs climb rather quickly when we open the Gates! For this reason we "need" a certain amount of players on Site to cover costs.
I predict going forward that we will be restricted on attendance numbers.
Being restricted to 40 players on our Sites would not cover costs & therefore would NOT be viable to run. The only way to combat this would be to increase the Game Fee - something I am not overly happy to do!
The other change would need to be "Pre-Pay" for everyone who books in.
We have lots of "no shows" on regular Game Days (players book in and don't show up) So, with limited player numbers, we will NEED to ensure that every Booking Space taken has been paid for.
I am confident that our VERY awesome Player Base & Members will support our decisions & look forward to playing again as soon as possible.

We are also making changes to our MEMBERSHIP.
Our plan is to make the Membership even more Value for money.....
More details to follow VERY soon
