Oct 16th / Nov 6th Meetups (IRL), and UKPC 2021 Pre/After meet Announcements

The voting for dates of the next couple of upcoming meetups are now closed, and the dates have now been chosen. These dates were picked due to them being the most popular days, the least disliked days, and the days that gives people the most notice.

The October Meetup will be held on the 16th of October, and the August Meetup will be on the 6th of November.

In other news, I can now confirm that the venue for the UKPC pre-meet and after-meet is The Johnson Arms. We have the Johnson Arms booked for the Friday (8th of October between 4 PM and 11PM) and Sunday (10th of October between 7 PM and 11PM) of the convention. More details will be posted soon, including the best method of get to the venue from the convention centre.

Details for both meetups and the UKPC Pre-meet/After-meet, will be posted at a later date in the events selection of this website. I will update this blog post, when said details are added.

Raw Data

Poll Results for October and November.
The suggestion for other dates we could have the meetup on.

Voting for September/October and November 2021 (IRL) Meetups

It’s time to pick dates for the  September/October, and November Trottinghamshire Bronies (IRL) meetups. This poll will close on the 12th of September 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.

The Plan for the Upcoming Meetups

The plan for the next couple of meetups is to start at the Costa Coffee in the entrance hall of Nottingham Train Station at 12:15 PM. Then at 12:30 we will head over to The Johnson Arms via the Toton Lane tram (Getting off at Gregory Street) hopefully getting to the pub for 12:45 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 whom 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.

Voting for the July and August 2021 Virtual/IRL Meetup Date

It’s time to pick the date for the July Virtual Trottinghamshire Meetup. This poll will close on the 5th of July at 7 pm.
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.

However, because we are supposed to be out of Lockdown by July 19th, the poll also includes dates for an In Real Life meetup in August. Hopefully, this will make up for the limited selection of dates in July that was caused by other commitments.

If Lockdown does not lift by July 19th, there will just be another meetup Virtual Meetup instead. However, if we do have an In Real Life meetup it will be at The Jonanshon arms (Location on google maps).

July Virtual Meetup

The plan for the July 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.

Last Meetup

  • Computer hardware
  • What computer games the group have playing.
  • Random videos on YouTube.
  • The Trottinghamshire Bronies post-lockdown plans for the Meetups.
  • And finally just catching up with other members of the group.

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.

Voting for August 2020 Meetup (Virtual) Date 🗳️.

It’s time to pick the date for the August Virtual Trottinghamshire Meetup. This poll will close on the 26th of July at Midnight. Like 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.

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 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🔈).
