Choosing the Virtual Meetup’s Date for July 2020 🗳️.

It’s time to pick the date for the July Virtual Trottinghamshire Meetup. This poll will close on the 21st of June at Midnight. Like last time around there is also the optional question to pick dates that you don’t want to have the meetup on, to be used in case of a tie break between days.

Our June Meetup this month had about 6 people on the call, and most of the time was spent socialising and catching up with people. The rest of the time was spent playing hide and seek in Pony Town, and playing Jackbox games as a group.

The plan for July’s meetup is to run another Virtual Meetup by having an audio call going on in our Trottinghamshire Bronies Discord Server, between 12:30 pm and 5:30 pm (-ish), and keep the overall schedule as light as possible. This way people can decide what they want to do on the day. So we can run the Virtual Meetup, Audio Channels have now been added to in the Trottinghamshire Bronies Discord Server to help coordinate playing games online and socialising (Canterlot🔈, Ponyville🔈,Cloudsdale🔈, and Trottingham🔈).

Voting for June/July’s Trottinghamshire Meetup dates

It’s time to pick the dates for the June and July’s Trottinghamshire Meetups. This poll will close on the 2nd of June at Midnight. We are voting for the next two meetup dates at the same time because there is about 2 months until BronyCon and it will make it difficult to plan July’s Trottinghamshire Meetup.

As for the next Trottinghamshire meetup, it will start at the Costa Coffee in the entrance hall of Nottingham Train Station at 12:00 PM. Then, at 12:30 we will head over to The Johnston Arms via the Toton Lane tram (Getting off at Gregory Street), hopefully getting to the pub for 1 PM.

The Johnston Arms has adequate table space for the people who enjoy playing card games during these meets, such as TSSSF and MLP CCG. If Pen and Paper RPGs are more of your thing, we will most likely be running a game of Tails of Equestria at the meetup if we have the time too.

If playing table top games is not your thing there will be plenty of people who you can just hang out with and socialise. If the group wants to and the weather is good outside, we can decide to have the meetup in the large beer garden out the back.

Voting for April and May’s Meetups dates.

Now that the dust has settled from the March’s meetup, it’s time to pick a date for the April’s Trottinghamshire Meetup. This poll will close on the 31st of March at Midnight.

We will also be picking the date for the May meetup, as there are a reduced number of weekends over the next two months which I can run meetups. This is due to the first weekend of April being so close, and Griffish Isles taking up one of the weekends in May (the weekend of the 11th).

The plan for the March meetup, like the last one, is to start in The Arboretum Cafe the at 12 pm, then after 30 minutes, head over to the main venue.

Voting for March’s Meetup Venue due to Booking Issues

After trying to book the most popular dates from the last meetup poll (2nd March and 23rd March) I was told by the Orange Tree that they are booked up for the whole of March. Because of this we now need to pick a new venue. This venue depending on future availability of the Orange Tree, could be the venue we have our meetups at from now on.

While we are waiting for the dust to settle, and for us to have a more consistent venue, we will be starting meetups (including the March meetup) at The Arboretum Cafe at 12 pm then moving to the venue chosen in the poll below after 1 pm.

This poll will close on 18th of February at Midnight. Please pick all the venues that you are OK with us having as a meetup venue, as depending on how the next meetup goes, the top 3 picked will be candidates for us to scout out. I’m yet to decide on which of the two dates from the last poll I’m going to pick, as this will depend on the availability at venue picked.

Poll For Trottinghamshire March Meetup Date

Now that the dust has settled from this month’s meetup, it’s time to plan for next month’s Trottinghamshire Meetup.

This poll will close on the 11th of February at Midnight. We are also going to be voting on what other activities we want to do this year as it will make planning future meetups easier.

The plan for the March meetup is to hopefully hang around The Orange Tree pub on Shakespeare Street in Nottingham and catch up with members.

The Orange Tree has adequate table space for the people who enjoy playing table top games during these meets, so people can play TSSSF, tails of Equestria (a Pen and Paper RPG), and MLP CCG at the meetup.

It is also close to the Victoria Shopping Centre, so if anyone wants to do some shopping during the meet, you won’t have far to go.

Nov 11th Write-up and Christmas Party Announcement (With Poll)!

Header Image Source: https://basykail.deviantart.com/art/The-Christmas-Tour-510397513

Yesterday’s meet took place at the Orange Tree bar in Nottingham and with a peak turnout of 12 people, we had a great time! The staff were friendly, accommodating and the food was delicious. We had plenty of space and overall the meet went pretty well.

I’m going to keep the summary brief, because at the approach to Christmas, we now need to discuss the December/Christmas meet-up. We’d like to have this at the Orange Tree again, except this time with the private room. As a result, we will be holding the poll early and it will only last a week, rather than the usual 2. This gives us time to book in advance.

Please state your availability in the poll below. The most popular date we will try to book the private room for. Please be aware that the private room is £50 for the day, so we need an idea of how many will be coming. we’d like to split the cost of this room between all attendees. With 10 attendees, that’s £5 each. For more than 10, we can go even less.

This poll closes on 11/20/2017 Monday at 1 AM.

Poll For Next Meetup Date (Early For Once)

I have decided to release the poll for the next meetup early for once, to give people some more time to plan for the next the meetup. This poll will close on the 9th of October at 01:00. this should give people plenty of time to get their vote in.   

This time around, the plan is to hang around at the [ALT] Gaming Lounge, to catch up with members of the group, and play games. The ALT bar serves delicious food and drinks and they have been accommodating enough to treat us most excellently during our meet-up events, so if you can, please do buy things at the bar.  

Once the poll is closed, the meet date will be decided based on which day is most popular. If the most popular date is one of the November dates, we will be hosting both the November meet and whatever the runner up in October is. This is because there is only two weekends that the Trottinghamshire Event organisers can run a October meetup.
