Voting for January and February 2022 Meetups Dates.

It’s time to pick the dates for the January and February Trottinghamshire Bronies meetups. This poll will close on the 7th of January at midnight.

As it’s less than a week until the new year, so the voting will be done via the Trottinghamshire Bronies Telegram, Discord server, and Facebook page. This will make picking the meetup dates quicker than the website used for polls before.

If you can’t use any of these methods, please comment on this post with which one of these days you can make:

Plans for January and February Meetup

The plan for the next two meetups is to start at the Playwright 38 pub on Shakespeare Street in Nottingham. 

We will try to book the Poets Corner, the backroom far from the pizza oven, for between 12 PM and 6 PM. This is not always possible, so it’s best to check the event listing when it is posted later.

It has adequate table space for people who enjoy playing card 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)

However, we don’t just play card games. We have TV access, and sometimes we play games like JackBox Party Pack or retro computer games. 

However, if you would like to hang out and socialise, There will be plenty of people at the meetup to do just that.

Playwright 38 is also close to the Victoria Shopping Centre, so if anyone wants to do some shopping during the meet, you won’t have far to go.

Trottinghamshire Christmas Meetup [18th of Dec 2021] @ Dunkin Donuts ➤ Christmas Market ➤ The Dice Cup.

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.
