The plan for the 23rd of October meetup is to start at The Playwright Nº 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 October and November Meetups voting.
We have booked the Hamlet Corner, the back room that is not near the pizza oven, for between 12 PM to 6 PM. It 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)
MLP CCG at the meetup.
Uno (Including the Wild Card Version)

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.

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.

Talking about Trottinghamshire Bronies post-lockdown plans for the IRL Meetups.

Trottinghmashire Bronies Virtual Meetup [April 25th 2021]
2021-04-25 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 25th of April. 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.
On a related note, our March Meetup this month had about 7 people on the call. Most of the meetup was spent chatting about:

Computer hardware
Software engineering
Retro technology
Battle Bots
The Trottinghamshire Bronies post-lockdown plans for the Meetups.
And finally just catching up with other members of the group.

The plan for the next meetup
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), and keep the overall schedule as light as possible.
This way people can decide what they want to do on the day. People can
even use the three extra breakout channels (Canterlot🔈,Ponyville🔈,Cloudsdale🔈) to help coordinate playing games online, and do other stuff like watching MLP:FIM or other TV shows.

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.

Trottinghmashire Bronies Virtual Meetup [22nd July 2020]
2020-08-22 12:30 - 17:30 | Discord Server (Online)
August 2020 Virtual Meetup’s Details
The voting for the August Trottinghamshire Meetup is now closed and the date picked for next virtual meetup is Sunday 22nd of August.
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🔈).
