I am also really up for getting something happening in London. Very little is getting organised because the only “official” organiser is so far and I’m wondering if a low key non official meet up could be arranged? My son has been disappointed so many times with cancelled tournaments we’d be really up for meeting anyone who’s willing to come to London for a Saturday!
Anyone else up for this?

I’m going to propose and informal meet up to beyblade Sunday 29th March. 2pm, Regent’s Park Hub.
I am Not an “official” organiser so this is not a tournament but a meet up to battle and network
My son who is 9 is the protagonist
Who’d be available?!
RE: [London, UK] Official Event Interest Thread - bggb - Mar. 01, 2020
Hey, we would be! We are pretty close to Regents Park too! His brother who enjoys for a bit would be too, he is 7
RE: [London, UK] Official Event Interest Thread - Sowmi - Mar. 04, 2020
Honestly, i really do want to battle others and people outside of my club and school. However i am too restricted by my GCSEs sadly. i do wish to try and become an organiser for this summer, that is after at least attending one tournament to get the feel of it. I beleive we would benefit from a few cloder organisers but Mana tries his ebst so i appreciate that. but probably duriong the upcoming easter holidays and during the summer halfterm and the weeks to follow i'll be at any event haha.

This hurts a little to read, haha. I don't believe I've ever cancelled a tournament. Delayed a few times due to weather, but never cancelled
Just to give an update though; following last month's event, while I did mention a return to monthly tournaments (March isn't over yet!), COVID-19 is obviously a topical concern at the moment and there's a slight hesitation to bring many people together without official guidance. Social gatherings seem to be on the hitlist at the moment, and some of our events do end up with a large number of people gathering once you include participants, parents and spectators.
As this is an international issue as well, we've also discussed internally on how all Organizers and participants should approach this, and it was better that this was set in stone before committing to another London event. If the stars align, we'll aim for an event towards the end of the month. If not, hopefully everyone understands the concern and we'll get an event going as soon as it's feasible to do so.
Sorry for any disappointment caused!

Makes a load of sense and I completely agree I know many people would like to have a tournament as people have discussed but currently until we know the whole picture and how to deal with it to keep people safe so a small tournament hiatus is probably the best option

RE: [London, UK] Official Event Interest Thread - HR20 - Jun. 07, 2020
So because of Quarantine, I think the latest time and day or Organization is June 15th I think. So any ideas on what should happen?

I'm going to say it's probably not a good idea to make it happen especially due to lockdown laws there will more then likely not be a legal way to hold a tourment until restrictions are lifted
RE: [London, UK] Official Event Interest Thread - ~Mana~ - Jun. 07, 2020
Yeah, lockdown rules still dictate that social gatherings shouldn't be happening. I wouldn't expect to see an event for a few months yet honestly and, even when we can, you can expect strict enforcement of masks, wipes etc for a little while after.
Lots to consider. But for the UK, it definitely isn't the time, haha.

Many years i believe. Well currently i wouldn't expect anything to happen but yes it does exist.
RE: [London, UK] Official Event Interest Thread - God_Aron - Nov. 23, 2020
New member here I am interested. I am not wearing a mask if we have an event during the pandemic for health reasons though if I attend an event london or anywhere else. Is it burst beys of either 2 brands usually or what by the way?
RE: [London, UK] Official Event Interest Thread - ~Mana~ - Nov. 24, 2020
You can safely expect that we won't host for a while anyway; between lockdown now, the Rule of 6 between lockdowns, social distancing measures etc, I think it's safe to say events won't be back in action until March at the earliest at this point.
Depending on the situation when we're back, mask usage may or may not be required. But be aware that mask usage would be enforced unless you have a personal health reason qualifying you for exemption. Obviously don't want to ask a lot of details, but we are vigilant as an organisation to ensure the safety of all participants.
Yeah, brands are mixed in battle, but combos obviously need to feature all parts from one brand due to compatibility reasons. Otherwise yeah, you're welcome to stroll up and use a mixture of Hasbro or TT throughout the day.

Can't wait till we can finally have tournaments is it just London you host them or can they be hosted in Wales
RE: [London, UK] Official Event Interest Thread - LeeDraciel - Jun. 19, 2021
Hi everyone. Just throwing myself back into the mix. A lot of newer members might not know me as I've not been very active for a while. Once restrictions are lifted I will be looking to get very involved once again.
