An update from the United Kingdom Airsoft Players Union (UKAPU) following the resignation of founder and chairman Matt Furey-King, who is now running for Parliament as the Green Party candidate to represent the Kingswood constituency. UKAPU Vice-Chairman, David Weston has assumed the position vacated by Furey-King.

To follow on from the news of the resignation of our former chairman Matt Furey-King - it has been decided by the committee that the new chairman of UKAPU will be the previous vice-chairman, David Weston.

Additionally UKAPU can gladly announce that there has been a small reshuffle, with the South West representative (Tim Haines) simultaneously becoming vice-chairman - as well as an introduction of a new person into the fold, Robbie Hutchison acting as our new Scotland rep.

David has been with UKAPU since February 2016, and since that time has been heavily involved with the running of the union, as well as campaigning against attacks against the Airsoft amendment that eventually landed with the enactment of the Policing and Crime Act 2017.

We would like to thank all of our members for having in faith in us. As the new chairman, I hope to build on this and continue the good work that Matt and the rest of the committee have been doing tirelessly for Airsoft in the UK.

David Weston
Chairman
United Kingdom Airsoft Players Union
