My partner and I have our first burst Takara Tomy Bays and stadium on the way ready for us to get stuck in to.

I can see this is a great community to be a part of and thought branching out and saying hi is a good idea.

I'm guessing this is a purely London UK thread but just in case; any knowledge of Kent based tournaments or social events related to Beyblade?

Hey! Glad to see some new UK Bladers! Welcome!

Yes, we largely operate within London due to most of the active community being from there, and because it often serves as a middle-ground location for those who are a bit outside of it. I live just outside of Bristol myself and ultimately commute up to London to host and participate when we plan something

This does mean that London is the only active community at the moment, so it's hard to comment on anything for Kent or anywhere outside of London at times. Always down for helping to start up communities outside of London but, without the minimum 8-participant interest, it's a bit difficult to sustainably get something going.

A bit of a commute (which I know all too well), but it may be worth attending a London event sometime and seeing where people are coming in from, and perhaps from then planning something closer to home for yourself after if anyone else is from down that way?

This is great news thank you for the information!

London is an okay trip for us (especially if you yourself are traveling all the way from Bristol!!) 
What sort of venues are these events normally held at? I can imagine it has been quite a while since the last one.

There are at least 3 from my local area that would try to travel down - all of us complete noobs at this time but learning fast!
We estimate an additional 3 more may get in to it off the back of our revisit to it

Hey I’m from Kent too, and was wondering if you’d want to host a mini local tournament? I have some old beys as I’m not up to date with the burst versions

And I second the idea that there probably should be a UK beyblade discord or hub of some sort to help with organising events like this and helping local bladers connect. Although I'll admit I'm probably not well equipped enough to set something like that up myself, it'd probably be better for someone with more knowledge on the community as a whole to do it.

I believe the usual location is the Regent's Park Bandstand

Nothing confirmed but i believe some may happen this summer, a lot of us are in the WBO discord in the UK channel and discuss things there so i would also suggest joining that.
