to offset this increase slightly however we are to now include lunch with the game fee, also the hire package price will remain the same & also include lunch.

the new prices are as follows.

Game Fees

Members £20 (Incl Lunch)
Non Members £25 (Incl Lunch)
Hire Package £45 (Incl Lunch)

Cans & Chocolate £0.60p Each (due to our suppliers increasing the cost)

However the consumables ie BB's, Pyro and Gas prices will remain unchanged as we are to take on the increase in price for these items.

This increase will not take place until the 1st April 2012!

cheers guys

While I can fully understand if people may be a little upset and surprised about the price increase, nobody likes it when something goes up in price.

But I do feel the need to try and put this in some sort of context.

I started playing this little sport of ours a very long time ago (and I'm still crap before you say it stevg, craig, justin and everyone else).

But when I started playing there was only one site to go to, and that cost £25 for non members and £20 if you was a member (can't remeber the cost of membership), you didn't get lunch or drinks. This was the 2000 twelve years ago for people like craig (just thought I'd do my bit help you with those maths gremlins)

Twelve years on a site can still charge those prices and then give you free lunch and hot drinks. Who said inflation was spirraling out of control.

Knowing the costs of running an airsoft site and and the margins in which a company has to work by, if it was my company and site, I would have put the price up last year.

All I can say is from all of us who understand a MASSIVE and I mean MASSIVE thank you to Mick and Justin for holding back as long as they could.

Cheers guys

MCG as a site is better by far than the ones you end up paying easily over £45 to play etc, as well as having friendlier and approachable staff, and fair play players. I'm surprised it hasnt happened sooner to be honest, obviously Mick & Justin have held off for as long as they could, this considering other sites seemed to increase their prices on a regular basis, and we all know which ones dont we!

I seriously cannot remember the last time the price was increased.

Anyway its all good in my eyes, and yes free tea/coffee all day is a quality decision, cos I luv me tea as theres nothing better than getting ya mouth around a hot steamy muff...I mean mug, oops!

Keep up the good work guys, not been in a while but reading some of threads on the forum, I can see that your still kicking ass and offering a great days experience for old and new players.

Signing out, stay frosty!

matlock combat games has not but there price up for years. and the food they cook is well there only one word and its awesome ive been to sites that only have hotdogs (the tin ones) then a bag of crips and a drink here you get, burgers, currys, meatballs and a chocolate bar and a drink.

like matlock combat supples not a lot of sites have a mini airsoft shop at there site to sell airsoft kit like /guns/ mags/ batteys/ and combat gear.

will this price increase include a free aeg, open top sports car or a hot air balloon?
come on guys its still cheap at £20 and ur even gettin dinner

Josh, thats an awful lot of mint mate

Did I not turn up when we had mint curry & mint meatballs lol

no.....you missed the day when we had mint aero and mint imperials, followed up by skittles and a lamb shank, funnily enough with mint sauce.

Also, will this increase make you and mick minted, ha ha funk me i'm funny, oh so wasted, clearly should be on the telly, i'd make a mint !

Mint

Hmm dont forget the condiments. Salt and pepper.......mint!

Seriously though for the improvements on site still worth it. Plus it now includes free brews! Hmm minty hot chocolate!

You lot are all bloody mintal!

I think the lunches provided are quite magnificent and justify the walk on fee on their own !

I would gladly sell my house and all it's contents to help Matlock Combat Games.

What price can you put on the opportunity to shoot people in the face ! in the face !

Thats what I mint to say !

£5 extra is nothing if it helps keep the site minty fresh!
