The dates for the March and April meetups have been chosen, and the voting is now closed. We picked these dates because they are the most popular days and give people the most notice.

The March meetup will be on Sunday, the 12th of March, and the April meetup will be on Saturday, the 22th of April. I will post the details of these meetups in the event section of our website at a later date.

Voting for March and April 2023 Meetups Dates.

It’s time to pick the dates for the March and April Trottinghamshire Bronies meetups. This poll will close on Wednesday, the 1st of March, at midnight.

As the last time,  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:

Dates For March 

  • March 11th
  • March 12th
  • March 18th

Please only vote on one platform (Telegram, Discord, Facebook).

If you have any questions, please ask me via Trottinghamshire Bronies Telegram, Discord server, or Facebook.

Plans for March and April 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, between 12 PM and 6 PM. This is not always possible, so checking the event listing when it is posted later is best.

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 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 February Meetup (18/02/2023) @ The Playwright Nº 38

The plan for the 18th of February meetup is to start at The Playwright Nº 38 pub on Shakespeare Street in Nottingham. To see why this date was picked, see the blog post on the results for the January and February Meetups voting.

We have booked the Hamlet Corner, the back room that is not near the pizza oven, for between 12 PM to 6 PM. 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, there will be plenty of people at the meetup with who you can hang out and socialise. 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.

Facebook had only vote, but it was duplicated by someone who voted twice on the same date so doesn’t count.

How re-vote for Trottinghamshire Bronies December 2022 Meetups Date.

As mentioned in the blog post confirming the October and November events, we need to re-vote for December again.

Because December is a busy month for pubs and we need to decide quickly, I have chosen to do the voting in the Trottinghamshire Bronies Telegram, Discord server, and Facebook page. This will make picking the Christmas meetup date quicker, than the current website used for polls.

If you can‘t use any these methods, please comment on this post with which one of these days you can make:

  • 03/12/2022
  • 10/12/2022
  • 10/12/2022

Voting will close on midday 23/10/2022. Please only vote on one platform (e.g Telegram, Discord, Facebook).

 If there is any questions, feel free to ask me via Trottinghamshire Bronies Telegram, Discord server, or Facebook.

October 23rd & November 20th (2022) Meetups Confirmation / December Meetup Date Issues.

The voting for the dates of the next couple of upcoming meetups is 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 give people the most notice.

However as pointed out by some of the Trottinghamshire Bronies members, because the plan for the Christmas meetup, is to go around Nottingham’s Christmas market Sundays are not feasible due to the shortened Public Transport times, and the meetup going on longer than normal due to needing at least two hours to go around the market.

Because of this, the December voting needs to be reopened at a later date.

As far as the October meetup is concerned this will be held on Sunday 23rd, and the November Meetup will be on Sunday 20th. The details for both of these meetups will be posted in the event section of our website at a later date.

Less than 6 minutes from the Nottingham Conference Centre where the convention venue is, and we have a good relationship with the Playwright.
