Trottinghamshire May Meetup (21/05/2022) @ The Playwright 38
2022-05-21 12:00 - 18:00 (Europe/London) | The Playwright 38 (formally known as Orange Tree), 38 Shakespeare St,, Nottingham, NG1 4FQ, United Kingdom
The plan for the May 21st meetup is to start at the Playwright 38 pub on Shakespeare Street in Nottingham. To see the details behind why this date was picked see the blog post on the results for the April and May Meetups voting.
We have booked the back room (near the pizza oven), for between 12 PM to 6 PM. It has adequate table space for people who enjoy playing card games, so people can play TSSSF (Twilight Sparkles’ Secret Shipfic Folder), 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 meetup, you won’t have far to go. If playing tabletop games is not your thing, there will be plenty of people at the meetup with who you can just hang out and socialise.

Trottinghamshire Christmas Meetup [18th of Dec 2021] @ Dunkin Donuts ➤ Christmas Market ➤ The Dice Cup.
2021-12-18 12:00 - 18:00 | The Dice Cup, 68-70 Mansfield Rd, Nottingham, England, NG1 3GY, United Kingdom
The voting for the next Trottinghamshire Meetup is now closed, and we have a confirmed booking at The Dice Cup for the 18th of December. To see the details behind why this date was picked see the blog post on the results for the Christmas and January Meetups voting.
I think it goes without saying, but it’s probably a good idea to bring a mask to go in the shops whilst wearing it, especially considering the new Omicron variant.

Meetup agenda & Venues
The plan for the Christmas meetup is to start next to the Christmas Tree outside the Dunkin Donuts inside the Exchange Arcade at 12 Noon, and then at about 12:30 PM heading off to look around the Nottingham Christmas Market.
The market will be located along Long Row and Smithy Row offering a chance for some Christmas shopping. The market will be stalls selling gifts and crafts. There will also be food stalls at the market if people want to have a bite to eat before going to the Dice Cup. If the Food Stalls are not to your taste there are plenty of fast food outlets around the Old Market Square, to get other food from.
After spending time at the market, we then plan to meet back at the Christmas tree about 1:30 PM, before heading off at 1:45 PM to the Dice Cup, hopefully arriving there by 2:15 PM.

2021-11-06 12:00 - 18:00 | The Johnson Arms, 59 Abbey Street, Nottingham, NG7 2NZ, United Kingdom
While date for the November Trottinghamshire Meetup has been chosen for a while, I can now confirm that we will be meeting up at The Johnson Arms on the 6th of November. To see the details behind why this date was picked see the blog post on October and November 2021 Voting Results.
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
EDIT: Sorry for the ping, but there is an important change announcement to the Trottinghamshire Bronies meetup tomorrow due to the tram disruption. We are now planning to meet at the Nottingham Train Station at 12:00 Noon, then board the SkyLink bus from the Greyfriars stop at around 12:30.
We should hopefully arrive at the Gregory Street stop (right nearby The Johnson Arms) at about 1 PM. Please note that this is a little earlier than originally communicated, due to the differing bus times.
Of course, if you’re arriving via car or alternate transport, we hope to see you at the pub around 1! If you have any queries or concerns about the change, leave a message in the comments, on our Discord server, or on our Telegram group.
The meetup will start at the Costa Coffee in the entrance hall of Nottingham Train Station at 12:30 PM. 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.
If playing tabletop games is not your thing, there will be plenty of people with who you can just hang out and socialise. 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.

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.

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🔈).

July 2020 Virtual Meetup’s Details
The voting for the July Trottinghamshire Meetup is now closed and the date picked for next virtual meetup is Sunday 12th of July. This date was picked due to it being the most preferred date and the least disliked date in the voting.
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.

Virtual (Online) Meetup Due to COVID-19 [May the 16th]
2020-05-16 12:00 - 18:00
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.

Virtual (Online) Meetup Due to COVID-19 [April the 25th]
2020-04-25 12:00 - 18:00
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.

Trottinghamshire 14th of March Meetup @ Nottingham Train St. / Johnson Arms
2020-03-14 12:00 - 18:00 | The Johnson Arms, 59 Abbey Street, Nottingham, NG7 2NZ, United Kingdom
The voting for the March Trottinghamshire Meetup is now closed, and the Date picked was the 14th of March.
This event is being posted early, ahead of February’s meetup, to give people more notice of when the March meetup is going to be.
This will hopefully help people traveling from outside of
Nottinghamshire, or people need more notice of the meetup date.
The plan for the March Trottinghamshire meetup: start at 11:15 AM in the Costa Coffee within the entrance hall of Nottingham Train Station. 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.
The Johnson 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 tabletop 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.

2020-02-22 12:00 - 18:00 | The Johnson Arms, 59 Abbey Street, Nottingham, NG7 2NZ, United Kingdom
The date of the first meetup of this year (and decade) has now
been decided and voting is now closed. The Johnson Arms has
now been booked for the 22/02/2019. While this is quite some time
away, it should give people’s bank balances plenty of time to recover
from all of the spendings on Christmas presents and parties in 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.

Trottinghamshire 7th of December Meetup @ Nottingham Train St. / Johnson Arms
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.

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.
There has been a month hiatus since the last meetup (unless you count the UKPC Pre/After Meets), and while Generation 4 of My Little Pony has finished, the Trottinghamshire Bronies are not going to stop doing meetups anytime soon.
