Section 8 Scotland

Section 8 Scotland Allanton in North Lanarkshire. NOT FIFE LIKE Facebook says!

04/04/2026

GAMEDAY 7 (5th April) cancelled due to Storm Dave.
Making decisions on cancelling games is tuff but we have to make them. Player and staff safety should and never will be compromised.
Running any outdoor business you must make full risk assessments for safety. The forecast high winds means the risk is too great.

All prebooked players will get emails later on.

Gameday is running tomorrow, with worst of the wind easing overnight.

Just incase you don't know our very own Robbie has been voted in as Chair of UKAPU – the players union for airsoft across the UK. A great organisation that EVERYONE involved in airsoft should be a member of!

To help spread the word, he's jumping on a live stream with The Chairsofter Show. He’ll be talking about what UKAPU’s doing and where they're heading.

Robbie has always had great support from the player's at Section 8 and he'd love for you to tune in – not just for him, (although he wil like that a bit!) but to show everyone the strength and backing we’ve got as a group.

Link’s below – hope to see you there!

60-70 mph winds incoming. The forest is not a safe place to be, so I'm cancelling tomorrow's gameday (Feb 23rd)

Everyone that's prebooked will get an email later on.

I'm going to say no gameday today. Wind on site is ok just now, but gusts are strong and getting worse. Forecast now says it's to be over 40 mph by lunchtime. Not safe.

Looking like an great day ahead for tomorrow on both the forecast and player numbers.

*Busy means we need you to help with neat/tight parking.

*Warm day means you're going to need to drink LOTS of fluids. One can of Red Bull will just not cut it! (Don't be that 'player' that we have to carry out of a game, only to find out they've drank little to nothing because they don't have much)

On a separate and unfortunate note,

** NO MORE BANK TRANSFERS ON SITE**

It's sad, but recently multiple transfers were 'clawed back'/cancelled/denied several days after a gameday, despite having shown as completed.

Friendly reminder to show restraint in driving speeds on both arriving at and leaving the site. The site road from the gate is 10 mph. There's lots of signs so no excuses!

The speed limit in Alanton Village is (not surprisingly) 30 mph. It doesn't go unnoticed that cars driven by 'guys in camo' are speeding through and it's not a great leap to work out where they're going or coming from...

Please don't cause Section 8 any unnecessary problems with our local community - Airsoft get enough bad press already.

06/04/2024

Forecast for tomorrow is much the same as today's. Yellow weather warning ends today at 10pm, but all the Forecasts I've seen show gusting to 50mph odd throughout tomorrow.

Its just not safe playing in/under trees when it's like that. So, based on player/marshals safety, I'm calling it for tomorrow.

Anyone who's prebooked will get an email explaining rebooking etc.

We are going to run an extra gameday next Sunday (14th) which will be up on website later on/tomorrow.
