This week has been very busy on the organising front myself and Arron Sparks had a meeting at Baysixty6 skate park in London very close to the Portabello Rd.

Why London well with the millstone of a bricks and mortar shop no longer hanging heavy we felt that it was time for yet more change and a vote was held over on the UK Yoyo Players Forum, London won by just a slim margin

To be honest I was hoping it would as I had the Baysixty6 in mind for a great backdrop to this years premier yoyo event and of course is so easy to get to from all over the world

We have one international judge confirmed in the shape of Chris Kyatz from Hspin yoyos i hope to have possibly 2 more confirmed soon.
