AIRSOFT AIR A AI IIR RSO RSO RS SOFT SOF OFT O FT FT NEWS NE N E EW W WS S FIRST AND ONLY: THE GARRISON First and Only Airsoft has acquired a new Midlands-based site. The new site, The Garrison, is located in Malvern, Worcestershire (WR14) near the Three Counties Showground. The Garrison brings the total number of sites operated by First and Only to 12 (including The Armoury, Wrexham, which First and Only has received permission to reopen). The Google Maps screengrab shows the area; First and Only has confirmed it will also use the wooded area to the south of the site, tripling its effective area. The site was previously used as a US Army Medical Corp hospital until 1945. An intensive clean up is required before the site is usable, although the first game is billed for February. The site was used for illegal flytipping of tyres; at one point more than 500,000 tyres were dumped there. The pictures say the rest! Urban explorers provide more details on the site – see bit.ly/UrbExWorcs. For more details contact First and Only: www.firstandonlyevents.co.uk 008 February 2012
