Trottinghamshire Bronies

Trottinghamshire Bronies November Meetup
2018-11-24 12:00 - 18:00 (Europe/London) | The Playwright (Formerly The Orange Tree), 38 Shakespeare St, Nottingham, England, NG1 4FQ, United Kingdom
The plan for this meetup is to hang around The Orange Tree pub on Shakespeare Street in Nottingham to eat and socialise with other members in the Disco Room. This will be the first Trottinghamshire Meetup in over a month, (Unless you count the UKPC Pre/After meetups) so I’m sure there will be lots to talk about.
The Orange Tree’s Disco Room 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 also be running a game of Tails of Equestria at the meetup.
The Orange Tree is also very close to the Victoria Shopping Centre if anyone wants to do some Christmas Shopping during the meet.

Trottinghamshire Bronies Christmas meetup
2018-12-15 12:00 - 18:00 | The Playwright (Formerly The Orange Tree), 38 Shakespeare St, Nottingham, England, NG1 4FQ, United Kingdom
The plan for the Christmas meetup is to hang around The Orange Tree pub on Shakespeare Street in Nottingham to eat and socialise with other members in the Disco Room in the back of the pub. Me and Brendan are also planing on running a G4 MLP pub quiz and slideshow of the things we did this year using the Disco Room’s projector.
The Orange Tree also 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 also be running a game of Tails of Equestria at the meetup if we have the time to.
It is also very close to the Victoria Shopping Centre if anyone wants to do some last minute Christmas Shopping during the meet.

Trottinghamshire Bronies January 2019 Meetup
2019-01-19 12:00 - 18:00 | The Playwright (Formerly The Orange Tree), 38 Shakespeare St, Nottingham, England, NG1 4FQ, United Kingdom
The plan for the first meetup of the year is to hang around The Orange Tree pub, on Shakespeare Street in Nottingham, and catch up with members. As this is the first meetup since Christmas and New Year, I’m sure there will be lots to talk about.
We will be booking the conference room (the one at the back of the pub with the big table in the middle) for 12 PM to 6 PM as it has adequate table space for people who enjoy playing card games , so people can play TSSSF (Twilight’s Super Secret Shipfic), 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.

(UPDATED INFORMATION) Trottinghamshire Bronies February 2019 Meetup
2019-02-02 12:00 - 18:00 | The Lost City Adventure Golf, The Cornerhouse, Burton Street, Nottingham, England, NG1 4DB, United Kingdom
As we no longer have the booking at the Orange Tree due to cancellation by the company that now owns them (See This Blog Post), we have decided to change the venue and still have the meetup. PLEASE tell us via Discord, Telegram or Facebook if you are planning on coming and did not vote on the original poll for the date of meetup, as this is how I will be working out if we have everyone.
Prices for Adventure Golf can be found here at here. It’s also worth noting that there is a 2£ deposit for the lockers, so make sure to bring some cash.
The new plan for this weekend is for us to meet up outside the entrance to The Lost City Adventure Golf at archway for 15 minutes at 12p m. After 15 minutes there will hopefully be enough people around for anyone turning up late to find our group, while I go and ask the staff of Adventure Golf if we can sit down at the venue’s bar until 1 pm or we have everyone we know about.
If we are not allowed to wait in the venue’s bar we will wait at the bottom of the steps to theAdventure Golf until we have everyone.
After Adventure Golf, depending on how people feel, we could have an ad hoc meal at a restaurant/pub, or just hang around the venue’s bar.
If you have any questions about the updated plans, please don’t be afraid to ask.
The plan for the February meetup is to hang around The Orange Tree pub, on Shakespeare Street in Nottingham, and catch up with members.
We have the conference room (the one at the back of the pub with the big table in the middle) booked for 12 PM to 6 PM as it has adequate table space for people who enjoy playing card and table top games. For example, we have regular games of TSSSF (Twilight’s Super Secret Shipfic), MLP CCG, and Tails of Equestria (a Pen and Paper RPG) 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

Trottinghamshire Bronies March 2019 Meetup @ Arboretum Cafe/The Castle Pub
2019-03-23 12:00 - 18:00 | The Arboretum Café, Nottingham Arboretum, Waverley Street, Nottingham, England, NG7 4HF, United Kingdom
The voting for the new venue of the March Trottinghamshire Meetup is now closed and has been booked. The meetup starts at 12 pm in The Arboretum Cafe, then after 35 minutes we will head over to The Castle Pub and Function Room, where we have a table booked for between 1 PM to 6 pm.
Because we are holding the meetup at a new venue there is a few things to note:
1) Due to the expected numbers coming to the meetup, the owner of the The Castle Pub has requested that people order food in advance from the menu provided below. If you plan on having food at the pub, please use the form on this event page to order food.
2) If for whatever reason that the The Arboretum Cafe is busy, wait near the entrance of the The Arboretum.
3) The Castle Pub and Function Room is about five minutes away from forbidden planet. We will be passing by it on the way to the The Castle Pub, however I suggest going to the pub first unless you know the route from forbidden planet to the The Castle Pub.

If there are any questions or confusion about this event, please don’t hesitate to contact us via our Discord Server, Telegram Group Chat, or Facebook group.

Trottinghamshire 27th Of April Meetup @ Nottingham Train Station/Johnston Arms
2019-04-27 12:00 - 18:00 | The Johnson Arms, 59 Abbey Street, Nottingham, NG7 2NZ, United Kingdom
Meetup Details
The voting for the next Trottinghamshire Bronies meetup date is now closed. The date for the next meetup is the 27th of April, however the plan for the meetup has now changed. We are now starting the meetup at the Costa Coffee in the entrance hall of Nottingham Train Station at 12:00 PM.
Then we will head over to The Johnston Arms at 12:30 via the Toton Lane tram (Getting off at Gregory Street) hopefully getting to the pub for 1 PM. An all day ticket for the tram costs £4.00 for a adult and £3.10 for a student.
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 to. If playing table top games is not your thing there is a large beer garden out the back.
Route to The Johnson Arms from Meetup Start Point

The Reason for April’s change of venue and meetup starting point.
To cut a long story short, after the feedback from the last meetup’s attendees about the problems of the venue (Castle Pub), I tried and book the Lloyds No.1 Bar and the Cafe Sobar as they was included in the group’s favourites for a new regular meetup place.
However while trying to book them I found out that both Lloyds No.1 Bar and the Cafe Sobar no longer do group bookings for weekends, because they can never know how busy there are going to be on a Saturday and Sunday.
So means there is a total of three places in the centre of Nottingham that no longer allow weekend bookings. Because of this I started doing research for venues further afield.
After talking to other meetup members The Johnston Arms has come up in conversations, but I haven’t considered it before because in wasn’t in the city centre, however that means that it’s going to be less busy.

During the last meetup it was decided that The Johnston Arms was a suitable venue for our regular meetups, so we will be holding the meetup there again on the 18th May.
Like the last 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.

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.

2019-07-13 12:00 - 18:00 | The Johnson Arms, 59 Abbey Street, Nottingham, NG7 2NZ, United Kingdom
This will be the last meetup before BronyCon, as I doubt that I’ll have the time for planning a meetup that month, or (like a lot of people going to BronyCon) the funds to go to a meetup. Like the previous meetup, we will be holding it at The Johnson Arms.
The meetup 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 Johnson Arms via the Toton Lane tram (Getting off at Gregory Street) hopefully getting to the pub for 1 PM.

Trottinghamshire 21st of September Meetup @ Nottingham Train Station/Johnson Arms
2019-09-21 12:00 - 18:00 | The Johnson Arms, 59 Abbey Street, Nottingham, NG7 2NZ, United Kingdom
There has been a month hiatus since the last meetup, but hopefully having a meetup will help people get over the BronyCon post-con blues.
The next meetup will be held on the 21st of September at the The Johnston Arms. However, this time around, the pre-meetup will start around 11:15 AM at Costa Coffee in the entrance hall of Nottingham Train Station. Then, at 11:45 we will head over to The Johnston Arms via the Toton Lane tram (Getting off at Gregory Street), hopefully getting to the pub for 12 PM.

The reason the start time has been changed is that it will give people more time at The Johnston Arms, as our meetups there have felt shorter than the ones we had at our old venue.

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.

The details for what we will be doing at the Christmas meetup are to be confirmed at a later date, as we need to find out if it is possible for us to use the Quiz Machine.

2019-12-07 12:00 - 18:00 | The Johnson Arms, 59 Abbey Street, Nottingham, NG7 2NZ, United Kingdom
With it being less than a week away from December, we can now confirm the details for what we will be doing at the Christmas meetup on the 7th of December.
The meetup will start at the Costa Coffee in the entrance hall of Nottingham Train Station at 11:15 AM. Then at 11:45 we will head over to The Johnson Arms via the Toton Lane tram (Getting off at Gregory Street) hopefully getting to the pub for 12 PM.
Once we get to the The Johnson Arms the plan is to wait until everyone has had food, and then have an MLP Christmas Quiz like we had last year. However, there are some changes from last year. It is not possible for us to use the Quiz Machine or the projector, but I have been informed that we will be able to plug in an HDMI cable into one of the TVs to show the Quiz from a Laptop.
As the quiz should not take all up all of the meetup, there should be enough time to play our usual games of TSSSF and MLP CCG. If Pen and Paper RPGs are more of your thing (and if we have enough time after the quiz) we could run a one-shot campaign of Tails of Equestria at the meetup.
If playing tabletop games is not your thing, there will be plenty of people who you can just hang out and socialise with. If the group wants to, and weather permitting, there’s also the option to spend the non-quiz part of the meetup in the large beer garden out the back.

Virtual (Online) Meetup Due to COVID-19 [April the 25th]
2020-04-25 12:00 - 18:00 | England
Due to the government’s most recent advice on COVID-19, I have
decided not to run a Meetup for April. However, I will be running a Virtual Meetup on the date we would have had the April Meetup (25th of April).
My plan for this Virtual Meetup is to be logged on in Discord, on the 25th of April between 12 pm and 5 pm, so if anyone wants to still catch up, play Table Top Games (Via Table Top Simulator), and possibly have a game of Tails of Equestria, we can do so. I think this is a good idea, as it means members of the group can still keep in touch throughout the upcoming months.
In order to have this Virtual Meetup, I am going to add extra
Audio Channels (Canterlot , Ponyville ,Cloudsdale ) to the [Trottinghamshire Bronies Discord
Server] under a new category called Virtual Meetup, to help coordinate the usual Table Top Games we play at meetups. There will also be an Audio Channel (Trottingham ) for anyone who just wants to catch up with friends.
As for future meetups, I will be still running a poll to pick the Meetup Date for May, the weekend after the April meetup. We will hopefully know more by then, but if not we could just run another Virtual Meetup.

Virtual (Online) Meetup Due to COVID-19 [May the 16th]
2020-05-16 12:00 - 18:00 | England
The voting for the May Trottinghamshire Meetup is now closed and the date picked for the next virtual meetup is 16th of May.
Our last virtual meetup in April was rather successful, with about 6 people on call for a total over 14 hours. Some of the time was spent playing Pony Town, Jackbox, Cards Against Equestria. The rest of the time was spent just catching up_, and watching_pony videos* (or just random videos from the internet).
Because of this, the plan is to run another Virtual Meetup in May by having an audio call in our Trottinghamshire Bronies Discord Server, between 12 pm and 5 pm (-ish), and keep the overall schedule as light as possible. This way people can decide what they want to do it 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 ).

I know we don’t have a lot of Meetups on Sunday, but as this is an online event between 12:30 PM and 5:30 PM I don’t foresee this causing a lot of problems.
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.

August 2020 Virtual Meetup’s Details

Our July Meetup this month had about 7 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 a whole bunch of Jackbox games as a group.
While the pubs have technically opened, I still do not think it is safe to have a meetup in real life yet. Because of this the plan for August’s meetup is to still 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, we have four Audio Channels under the Virtual Meetup channel group in the Trottinghamshire Bronies Discord Server to help coordinate playing games online and socialising (Canterlot🔈, Ponyville🔈,Cloudsdale🔈, and Trottingham🔈).

Trottinghmashire Bronies Virtual Christmas Meetup [December 19th 2020]
2020-12-19 12:30 - 17:30 | Discord Server (Online)
The voting for the next Trottinghamshire Meetup is now closed and the date picked for the next virtual meetup is the 19th of December. This date was picked due to it being the most popular day, the least disliked day, and the day that gives people the most notice.
The plan for the next meetup is to run a Virtual Meetup as an audio/video call in our Trottinghamshire Bronies Discord Server within the Trottingham🔈 channel, between 12:30 pm and 5:30 pm (-ish).
However, because this meetup is going to be our Christmas meetup, and we would normally do something special for this meetup, we are planning on doing some group activities online.
The events we are thinking of doing for the Christmas meetup include:

writing a nonsensical fanfic.
a selection of card games on Tabletop Simulator,
visiting Pony Town.

If the group wants to do multiple activities at the same time,
the three extra breakout channels (Canterlot🔈,Ponyville🔈,Cloudsdale🔈) can be used for this purpose. If none of these activities take your fancy, you can just spend time socializing with the rest of the group.
As for our November Meetup this month, we had about 7 people on the call. Most of the meetup was spent catching up with other members of the group, but we did watch the most recent episode of RWBY as well.

Trottinghamshire IRL Meetup [29th August 2021] @ Nottingham Train Station/Johnson Arms
2021-08-29 13:00 - 17:30 | The Johnson Arms, 59 Abbey Street, Nottingham, NG7 2NZ, United Kingdom
The voting for the next Trottinghamshire Meetup is now closed, and we have a confirmed booking at The Johnson Arms for the 29th of August. To see the details behind why this date was picked see the blog post on July and August 2021 Voting Results.
As this is our first in-person meet in quite some time, we will not be holding the online meet this month as we have been in previous months. Feel free to chat in the Trottingham Bronies Discord server (even on the same day as the IRL meetup), however, we will not be holding an official voice call.
I think it goes without saying, but we do not have any problems with people wearing masks if it makes them feel safer attending the meetup. Especially considering the last couple of years we have had.
Meetup agenda & Venues
The meetup will start at the Costa Coffee in the entrance hall of Nottingham Train Station at 12:30 AM. Then at 12:45 we will head over to The Johnson Arms via the Toton Lane tram (Getting off at Gregory Street) hopefully getting to the pub for 1 PM.
The Johnson Arms has adequate table space for the people who enjoy playing card games during these meets, such as TSSSF and MLP CCG. We may also be running a game of Tails of Equestria, a Pen and Paper RPG, at the meetup if we have the time to.
If playing tabletop games is not your thing, there will be plenty of people with who you can just hang out and socialise with. If the group wants to, and weather permitting, there’s also the option to have the meetup in the large beer garden out the back.
