I've heard from Rocky that apparently we may have another tournament staged in regent's park this November, it's the third staged tourney we've had at the park this year, and I was wondering if people would be interested in another tourney there for the third time running, so any comments necessary would be great, thank you.

All looks good, moving this to the Events forum and will change the thread name. Smile
I wish I lived in London, or at least in the south. These events are near impossible for me to get to. I can't imagene how pretty it would be to have a Beyblade tournament in a park during autumn. Excited for you guys, hope all goes well! Smile
Oh neeek please come it would be more fun with more people and i'm not sure that i met you before unless i saw you at expo.

It would be to far and costly at this moment, it costs me £40 for a return train alone. I live in the VERY far north (check me out on the map). But I really do wish I could come. Smile I doubt i'd be able to do much anyway since my collection is low on good parts, and i'm not gonna come all the way to London just to loose. Wink

I think you know what that means, Time for me to put up that draft for the info.
Autumn Attack
14th November
Regents Park
Meeting Spot: The Boathouse Cafe

Regents Park has been the location for the last few WBO tournaments, and we've found it to be a good location, yet we felt a change was in order.
The previous location was difficult for a lot of people to find, and was poorly located which made access to food and toilet facilities difficult.
The new location will be The Boathouse Cafe.

The attached map should help you to find the location:
http://www.royalparks.org.uk/parks/regents_park/

The Boathouse Cafe is marked as number 5, and is heavily sign posted through out the park.
It is also marked as number 5 on all maps within the park.

We'd recommend traveling to the event from Baker Street station, as it's closest to the event.

The tournament style will be block round robin, since this worked well at the last event.

The main tournament will be MFB only, but free battles will allow plastic and HMS as usual.

Items we'd recommend for you to bring would include a hooded coat or jacket in case of rain, possibly an umbrella, and layers such as jumpers and scarves (as the weather will be taking a colder turn by the time of the tournament).

We'd also recommend that if you do intend to take part in the tournament, then bring your own beys.

This may sound like an obvious suggestion, but in the past people have come without, expecting to borrow other peoples.
This would not be a problem, but more than half the blades that have been lent out to people have either come back damaged from improper use, or not come back at all (as those who visited expo will know).
Obviously this has made people a lot more reluctant to lend out their own beys.

The entry fee will be the same as usual, free with a blader passport (£6 to buy), or £3 otherwise.

We hope you'll be interested in this tournament, and enjoy it as you have done with previous tournaments.
Nice OP Ellz Grin

Neek is in lincolnshire i heard Tongue_out
He lives in lancaster, look at his account or the blader map.

Oh, I get mixed up with Lanchisite, Lancaster and Licolnshire Pinching_eyes_2
Lol i did when i was typing it in but then i recorrected the sentence before i posted it.
i live in Cumbria also barrow-in-furness you see.

Lancaster isn't in Cumbria, it's in Lancashire. It's nice to know a member who lives so close, northern balders seem rare ...

To clear things up I don't totaly live in Lancaster. I actually live in a seaside town called Morecambe, where i'm marked on the map, but because Lancaster is the nearest city (litteraly a 2min drive away) I put it down as my location.

Sorry to be so off-topic.

Closer to the edge of the park, near some nice lakes yet still shielded with trees, and much closer to toilet and food facilities.
The cafe next to it is an actual cafe (unlike the other one near the fountain), family cafe that serves ice creams, pasta, pizza, hot snacks, and drinks.
Bit more suitable, especially when people might want hot food on a cold day.

Have a look http://www.royalparks.org.uk/parks/regents_park/ (number 4 on the map)

And yeah, Norwich is a great place, really looking forward to a few good nights out and seeing friends Smile

You have no idea how much I agree with this right now. I would love to come but I'm not sure if i will be able to (This I am not getting some of the money like my Mum said i would. Angry) but I will keep you posted. Even if I can't come I still think this a good idea for all the reasons that flight pointed out.
Zander we are not going to that place anymore go on the link of the map and where there is a number 5 that's is where the location will be.

Well, their both pretty much alike so ever one will do, it would still be better than where it was done before, at least i would have thought so anyway.
Yes you are correct the places we have moved to is flatter and more convenient.
Yes very much i think it's going to happen officially anyways.

The font is called Electric Boots, and thanks Khel.
To the rest of you, at times, this place really is a total and utter muppet farm.
"Oh yeah, begins with L, meaning it MUST be the same place"

DAMMIT, DAMMIT, DAMMIT!

I'd already thought up my own set of info and you beat me to it, and it took me three day to write it. carp. Pinching_eyes
To write everything ellz wrote up would take you 3 days, man it shouldn't take that long.
It looks like RevertedTozero is hosting it when he isn't cause hes on the OP. Tongue_out
Yeah i guess so but everyone else seems to be fine with it so.
