New CQB Site in Kent

[E21A]

I dont think they would like us doing that haha I'll trust people not to steal the riot shield and marshals will be on the stair wells to enforce what rules we decide on. At the end of the day. You the players make the rules as long as its covered by insurance

It was more to stop people taking them out of the stair well. 

Yeah.  Cable would be a bit of a dangerous trip hazard on stairs.

Not if done properly, but was just an off the top of my head suggestion

I dont think we will put the effort into the Sheppy site as its not worth the effort compared to the new one and the Hextable school. We do plan on opening both though! Might not seem like it but we have actually got about 320 properties that we can select from. Then they need the usual checks etc. But we went for the second biggest (the first is to expensive lol)

Great. I was particularly looking forward to the Hextable site and this looks like another great place

Hextable is an absolute beast. Its just a shame Brexit and a section 77 is holding bits up (dont ask me why, Stupid council workers!) As soon as we get word we are allowed to get in there we will be dont you worry! The new site. Not revealed yet is just as beastly although its alot more CQB as hextable had some open areas. We're recording on Thursday a reveal video should be done within a week.

We've exhuasted a massive amounts of money on both these sites now. almost 150k and we havent even played a single game. So we need the new site to open with a bang  Fingers crossed.

I'm sure many people from this forum are willing to play regular at the site. With the Mall closing down, a lot of us are trying to find a CQB fix. I anticipate myself and my friends will come down, I may be able to tempt @Albiscuit @Keldon @Asomodai and a few others with a lift worst case. 

Do you have a rough estimate of game prices/packages? Will you be hiring privately I.e charity events, forum meet ups etc

At minimum it will be £35 due to the sheer cost of the building. We can offer private games, event games, charity and even forum meetings as long as we get the numbers in order to cover the costs.

We got some great news today just need to get 1 more thing signed.

£35 is I think more than reasonable. Does this include lunch or is there an area/whereabouts to lunch where it's based? I believe the mall was £35/37?

We are looking at it in more detail later. 40 would include parking (which we pay £4.00 per car) and lunch (greggs?) It all depends on how we run the games.

We might run 3 games per day for £30 a head for 4 hours (similar to other sites) But all of this again needs to be looked at abit later as we're fighting council rates etc.

From what we gather people are happy to pay that kind of money for Bunker 51 which is tiny.

I don't know if it's a case of happy to pay, more like not really any other options in the area.  Like the price of milk at a petrol station heh.

Fair point haha. Regardless If we dont charge enough to keep the lights on so to speak we wont be able to do it.

It will be between £30-40 each but we will see

Bunker 51 has a captive audience in a very large heavily populated catchment area, & is supported by an immense public transport system.........you could literally run games there at midnight & people would have no problems attending, I doubt the same could be said of ANY towns in Kent, personally I wouldn't travel for an hour or more for just four hours of gameplay at £30, no matter how short your briefing or how fast the turnaround between games.

I realise your overheads so far have been astronomical, but your not going to recoup them with your only real selling point being "it's cqb innit".

IMHO, maybe it's just me ?

Not just you. 35 quid for a full day is reasonable, 30 for 4 hours is not imo. It's the difference between going to the site regularly or just on a special occasion. 

 

[MrWilson]

Great feedback tbh. Like I said we're still looking into it, Appreciate peoples honesty.

Current idea that is sticking is a full game day. The 4 hour games were just an idea on the table. Whats your thoughts on Night games and Pistols and shotgun nights for 4/5 hours for £25? 

I can however confirm there is a train and bus line within 5 minutes walk that runs up until Midnight
