SwiftKey Does AirSoft, Epsom, Surrey - 11th June 2015

Most of the Keyboard Team takes a day off from work to run around an old World War II air-raid shelter complex, hewn out of the chalk on the edge of Epsom town centre, to shoot each other with hard plastic BB pellets - the "soft" in the trade name clearly being some sort of "in joke". The air-raid shelter, only used twice during the war in anger, is a great location for this sort of thing as it provides an extensive network of tunnels and, being underground, is a chilly 11°C so running around with hats, hoodies, gloves and various layers of protection isn't too sweaty.
