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.

March 2021 Virtual Meetup Details
The voting for the next Trottinghamshire Meetup is now closed and the date picked for the next virtual meetup is the 6th of March. 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 January Meetup this month had about 5 people on the call over the course of the meetup. Most of the meetup was spent chatting about computer hardware, internet memes, technology, and projects people have been working on.
There was also talk about playing Twilight Sparkle’s Secret Shipfic Folder at the next meetup using Tabletop Simulator.
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).
If there are enough people interested in Twilight Sparkle’s Secret Shipfic Folder, or other online games, we will use one of the three extra breakout channels (Canterlot🔈,Ponyville🔈,Cloudsdale🔈) to help coordinate playing them.

The voting for the next Trottinghamshire Meetup is now closed and the date picked for the next virtual meetup is the 24th of January. 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 December Meetup this month had about 7 people on the call. Most of the meetup was chatting about computer hardware and technology, and the rest of the time was spent catching up with other members of the group.
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 there.

On the suggestion of one of our members we are running a Bonfire Night Meetup like last year, but a shorter mini-meetup as it is a bit last minute. We are still running the normal meetup.
We will be meeting at 18:40 outside the Gates at Vivian Court, and then head over to the Forest Recreation Ground at 19:00. This is because it’s less likely to be crowded there than at Forest Recreation Ground.
There are two fireworks displays at 19:15 and 21:00 (the earlier display being a smaller one).The lighting of the biggest bonfire in the East Midlands will be at 19:45.
Also Don’t forget to wear suitable clothing for a cold and damp November evening, and feel free to contact me via Telegram or Discord Server if there is any confusion about the details of the mini-meetup.
Nottingham’s best loved FREE Fireworks display is back at the Forest Recreation Ground.
