The plan for the 7th of December meetup is to have a table at The Dice Cup, on Mansfield Road(a 2-minute walk from Nottingham Victoria Bus Station) between 2:30 PM and 7 PM. This meetup is starting later because some members are attending a Christmas meal (booked about a month ago as part of the planing of this meetup) that starts at 12 pm.
It’s £6 pounds to play the Dice Cup games, or £3 pounds if you are not going to play any of the Dice Cup’s games. There will be people at the meetup with their own games, so it should not be a problem if you don’t want to play the Dice Cup’s games (or any games). It has adequate table space for people to play cards 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)
If playing tabletop games is not your thing, then there will be plenty of people at the meetup who you can hang out with and socialise. As mentioned, 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.
Please be aware that the Dice Cup has restricted snack menu options due to its Vegan policy. If you require your own food, you will not be allowed to eat/drink it on-site.
Also, there willnot be a pre-meetup for this meetup because of the aforementioned Christmas meal, so if you are not coming to the meal and you want something other than what the Dice Cup offers, you will have to find alternative arrangements for food.
We booked the Hamlets Corner, the back room near the pizza oven, between 12 PM and 6 PM. However, as this is our Christmas meetup there will be a pre-meet at 10:45AM for coffee at Dunkin Donuts in the Exchange Arcade, and then leaving around 11 AM for a bit of last minute Christmas shopping at Nottingham Christmas Market (Weather Depending).
The Playwright has adequate table space for people to play cards 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)

The voting for the next Trottinghamshire Meetup is now closed, and we have a confirmed booking at The Playwright Nº 38for the 11th of December. However, the plan for this meetup is slightly different from our normal meetup (See Below). To see the details behind why this date was picked see the blog post on the results for the Christmas meetup.
Meetup agenda & Venues
The plan for the Christmas Meetup is to start at 11:30 AM meeting up at the Christmas Tree next to the Dunkin Donuts inside the Exchange Arcade (See Map Below). Then at about 12:00 PM we will be heading off to look around the Nottingham Christmas Market.
The market will be located around the old market square (See Map Below), offering a chance for some last minute Christmas shopping. The market will have stalls selling gifts,crafts and food. For details on what’s to offer please check the Visit Nottinghamshire website.
After spending time at the market, we then plan head off to The Playwright Nº 38 at 1:45 PM, hopefully arriving there by 2:00PM, and staying there until 6 PM.
We have a booking for 2 PM to 6 PM (but we do some times stay later than 6 PM). The The Playwright 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)
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.
The voting for the date of the December meetup is now closed, and the date has been chosen. The date was picked due to it being the most popular day, and the day that gives people the most notice.
The Christmas meetup will be held on the Saturday10th of December. The details of this meetup, and the 20th November meetup will be posted in the event section of our website at a later date.

Facebook had only vote, but it was duplicated by someone who voted twice on the same date so doesn’t count.
This month’s Trottinghamshire Brony meet-up is hosted at The Orange Tree pub on Shakespeare Street in Nottingham. After talking to them they said that the only day out of the two that were chosen that they could do was the 2nd of December.
The meetup will start at our normal time of 12:00 pm and will be in the private room, so in order to help cover the £50 booking charge will cost a maximum of £5 per person, but this will be cheaper if more people come (Cost of meet = Booking fee / Attendees). Due to the fact that the side-room we originally wished to book was already taken, the meet-up will instead be taking place in their Disco Room, which should have enough space to host us all.
The Orange Tree also offers adequate table space for the people who enjoy playing card games during these meets. So people can still play TSSSF and MLP CCG at the meetup.
It is also close to the Victoria Shopping Centre, so if anyone wants to do some Christmas shopping during the meet, you won’t have far to look.
