Trottinghamshire February Meetup (19/02/2022) @ The Playwright 38

The plan for the February 19th meetup is to start 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 February and March Meetups voting.

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.

Voting for February and March 2022 Meetups Dates

It’s time to pick the dates for the February and March Trottinghamshire Bronies meetups. This poll will close on the 23rd of January at midnight. Like the last time around there is also the optional question to pick dates that you don’t want to have the meetup on, to be used in case of a tie break between days.

Changes for future meetups

The plan for future meetups is to start them at the Playwright 38 pub on Shakespeare Street in Nottingham. We will not be meeting up at the Train Station first like we normally do.

We will book the back room (just past the pizza oven), for 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 meet, 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 with.

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.

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

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.

Trottinghmashire Bronies Virtual Meetup [July 17th 2021]

The voting for the next Trottinghamshire Meetup is now closed and the date picked for the next virtual meetup is the 17th of July. To see the details behind why this date was picked, as well as the date for the August the 29th IRL Meetup, see the blog post on Jul y and August 2021 Voting Results

On a related note, our June Meetup this month had about 5 and 1/2 people (don’t ask) on the call. Most of the meetup was spent:

Discussing the work we have done on our personal projects, like for example, PC Tower builds and Cosplay.
Watching random videos on the Internet.
Sharing our .Gifs in chat.
Talking about Trottinghamshire Bronies post-lockdown plans for the IRL 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 Meetup [October 4th 2020]

The voting for the next Trottinghamshire Meetup is now closed and the date picked for the next virtual meetup is 4th of October. 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.

Our August Meetup this month had about 7 people on the call. Most of the meetup was spent re-watching the first two and a half seasons of RWBY, and the rest of the time was spent catching up with other members of the group.

On a related note, if there are any shows that people want to watch together at the next virtual meetup, feel free to make a suggestion on the Facebook group or Trottinghamshire Bronies Discord Group.

The plan for the next meetup is to run another Virtual Meetup in October by having an audio call 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, Audio Channels have now been added to in the Trottinghamshire Bronies Discord Server to help coordinate playing games online and socialising
(Canterlot🔈, Ponyville🔈,Cloudsdale🔈, and Trottingham🔈).
