Not much for me to really write about this event since it’s just about to start today. In what is the biggest airsoft event in the UK and one of the biggest airsoft events in the world, the Ground Zero National Airsoft Festival 2016 (more affectionately called as the Ground Zero Weekender by veterans), over two thousand players will be converging again at the Ground Zero Woodland in the Somerley Estate, Ringwood, Hampshire.
It should be a weekend of fun, fierce airsoft firefights and wild nights as it has always been all through the years. Many veterans would say that it is 60% socials and 40% airsoft, and that we can agree with. What makes airsoft players keep on coming back is the camaraderie and of course the offerings of the Ground Zero Weekender for the different types of airsoft players, from laid back ones to the serious milsimers.
And oh! Did I forget to mention about the hundreds of prizes that will be given away to lucky participants? From airsoft guns to gear, it is probably the only airsoft event that has tons of prizes to give away in the UK, if not in the whole world.
Rain or shine, muddy or dusty, nothing will stop the players who have booked their slots from going to this annual event. For newbie airsoft players in the UK, the Ground Zero Weekender is pilgrimage they have to make in their lifetimes.
Looking at the NAE Facebook Page, the final touches by the organizers, led by the H himself, have already been put into place. The Ground Zero guys are ready for the arrival of players today.
This weekend, all roads lead to Ringwood for the National Airsoft Festival and we’ll be there to cover the event again as we have done all through the years.
See you there and be prepared to exchange BBs with us!
