How do players become members of an approved game site and eligible to buy RiF's?
The games site has to record you as a member and preferable issue you with a membership card.
To qualify as an “airsoft skirmisher” you must be a regular player at that game site having attended not less than 3 time in not less than 2 months.

Does that help

Go into platoon stores and you can book the games in there, they are held at fort Amherst in Chatham, to get registered so you can buy a gun, you have to go to 3 games within 2 months, then 2 months after your first game you can get registered. The games are held every other weekend, but don't think there are any more before Christmas.

The above it actually wrong.
 
It is not a card or a licence but an exception under the VCR bill, which is available to airsoft skirmishers. To qualify you will have to show a commitment to the club and attend three sessions in over (more than) two months. Assuming you are over 18 you can then fill out a players application form and request a membership number. If granted you will be placed on a national database which will allow you to buy realistic airsoft guns. The membership lasts one year unless you are dismissed from the club.
 
We hold regular sessions at Fort Amherst in Chatham details of which are posted on this forum and our facebook site.
 
As I write this (December 09) we are closed for the winter and will not be booking games until at least 2010.
