The voting for the next Trottinghamshire Meetup is now closed. We have a booking at The Playwright Nº 38 and The Dice Cup for the 22nd of January.

Meetup agenda & Venues
The plan for the January Meetup is to meet at The Playwright Nº 38 at midday. Due to refurbishment, I could only book a table between 12:00 and 14:00. However, this should be enough time to have food (a Sunday dinner is one of the options) and drinks. Afterward, we head to The Dice Cup at 14:00, where I also have booked a table from 14:15 to at least 18:00.
The Dice Cup has adequate table space for people to play card and board games. Some of the games we have played in the past are:

TSSSF (Twilight Sparkles’ Secret Shipfic Folder)
Tails of Equestria (a Pen and Paper RPG)

We will be holding the meetup near the back room which has a projector, 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 socialize.

2022-01-08 12:00 - 18:00 | The Playwright 38 (formally known as Orange Tree), 38 Shakespeare St,, Nottingham, NG1 4FQ, United Kingdom
The plan for the January meetup is to have it 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 Christmas and January Meetups voting.

I think it goes without saying, but it’s probably a good idea to bring a mask to wear in the shops and for when moving about the pub, especially considering the new Omicron variant.

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.

Trottinghamshire Bronies Meetup [6th Nov 2021] @ Nottingham Train Station/Johnson Arms
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.

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.
