I know I'm not from London, but I'd like to just let you know that Blitz is inactive now (he comes on the website some times), and Ultra was banned in July of last year, I believe.

By barring, he means excluding Blitz and Ultra. Smile
You have to adapt to British speaking. Wink

I think UK started getting less and less participants. When Blitz left, nobody stept up to the plate.

i believe the majority of them quit due to exams
I dont know about enzoxs hellkid or thepokeblader

man i remember when i used to come to tournaments my main goal was to beat hellkid and soul because they were the first and the strongest balders (other than the ones i started with) that i had met now that they're gone i just want to see how strong the newcomers are to see if its worth becoming the best.
So its more a lack of players than a lack of organisers.
What someone may be able to do is reach out to them on facecbook or something, just simply asking them if they would join a tournament. Not bugging them or anything, just asking.

ive contacted avengerblader. he's a youtuber with quite a large fanbase, and i know that he's willing to come because he's signed up for an earlier tournament that didn't happen. if he advertised on his channel and comes to the tournament (if it happens) we would have a large influx of bladers pouring in; I've seen a lot of comments from people in the uk who seem to have no idea about an organisation devoted solely to beyblade.
Good, that's exactly what the community needs. We just need more people need recruitment of people in this organisation; I suggests to you as many of you as possible to take up Kai's offer of the WBO business cards, that's one of the easiest methods of recruitment at the moment.

Ideally, I would prefer to send a bigger batch to only one person, who could then locally ship a portion to people who request some Promo Cards. It costs less overall.
ATM, I think it would be too hard to get rid off one big batch rather than a lesser number of small batches. The intrest isn't there.
It is just the concept of redistributing : I know each person will not know what to do with fifty Promo Cards, but since it costs more to ship from North America to Europe multiple times than once from North America to Europe and a few times locally in the United Kingdom. So, one person would just act as the local distributor, and each person would still just have a dozen of Promo Cards each to personally hand out.

how do we go ahead distributing the cards? targeting bladers that we already know that arent on the wbo is a method that wont last long and it will be a lot less effective to hand them out to random people on the street (also a little self esteem crushing Crying)

do you think forbidden planet or the anime shop in trockadero would be good places to hand them out?
Hell Kid was on this morning, so you guys should send him a PM Smile

Enzoxs was on a few days ago, so it's not like he doesn't check in from time to time so shoot him a PM as well. As for ThePokeBlader, he hasn't been on in a month, but you could still send him a PM and hopefully he at least gets a email notification. BeyHyperK!ller is also on from time to time. I really hope you guys are able to revive the London tournament scene Smile

If you guys haven't done so already, maybe one of you guys should send out a mass PM to all former UK members hoping for some of them to atleast reply Smile

You already have a few members willing to go, so just a few more guys! Smile
There both good starting points at the very least, the anime shop especially.
Is there no dedicated card shops in London, in Middlesbrough we have like 2 or 3 haha
LMAO: I PMd Hell Kid and he's busy.

TokyoToys might be a good place, though.
I'm not sure, haven't heard about that shop.
Is it your generic toy shop, as that may not be the best place to give them out. A smaller community with a less expansive demographic is probably better.
It's the Anime shop in Trockedero. It's in the middle of London. Smile
Ah okay haha
That should be fine, especially as a starting out point
I'm actually really excited to kick start Britain again, at the very least London. It's a shame the Newcastle scene died so early on.
could you hold another tournement man
