!midlands Sorry to say everypony, but I will not be able to attend, we will be moving house starting on the Wednesday next week with installation of the carpets, and then be moving everything over the weekend. Sorry guys, maybe next time.

!midlands Hay there everypony! The plan for Sheffield is to have lunch at an Italian place, and then laser tag in the afternoon. There'll be a quiz at some point too (with prizes!). If you're pretty sure you can (or can't) make it, could you please let me know ASAP (preferably by DM?)... we gotta book stuff is all.

@leonkfox Oh my yes, finding a dead body is always unsettling. T_T I hope he can cope with this with time.

@rotation I checked all the trains going from Bristol to Sheffield, they're not direct, some have 2 changes and some have as much as 3!
-
@rotation I'd have to get the 6am one, 55 a train ticket is too much for me to get to a meet up right now, plus the more expensive ones have changes. This location is seeming a lot less convenient :/ I will try and make it but I'm not holding my breath.

Is it a bad idea to drop school-assigned graphing calculators on the ground?

@rotation Man why isn't gokarting in real life as cool as I imagined it to be back then?
-
@ceruleanspark It's a lot better if you take some turtle shells and bananas in your kart.
-
@rotation Yeah but not indoors. Generally.

Bad news, !midlandsbronies. I can't make it to Sheffield. It's more or less in the middle of my course and I need as much time as I can to revise, seeing as they've compressed a six-month course into six weeks. Soz everypony. :(

@rotation I'm being stretched too thin and I'm tired out. Something's got to give. :/

!midlands All in favour of Italian food say *yay*. Having suggested the place myself this pony of course like it. Perhaps it's wise to make a reservation, though, depending on the number of people showing up.

@rotation !midlands I'm not a fan of anything from another country, I can try a few things. But I'm a picky eater, but they have pizza's there and I enjoy a good pizza, so it's got my vote :P

@mrdragon Yes, well you can have a nice cider? :3 I'll just bring some Rolling Rock from the local area here. Hopefully customs wouldn't pitch a fit. xD
-
@jinny Nah, I don't fancy any sort of drink like that any longer, I'm a lemonade with ice for now.
-
@mrdragon Hehe, that's good. ^^ I'd fancy myself not to get a bit tipsy after all. ;) Straight Lemonade with ice sounds lovely. :3

!midlands Unfortunately Sheffield is bad for me too. ^^;;; the student loan still hasn't come through. A month late now... >_> very very not amused.

Whoa, I haven't been on here in a long time... Anyways, !londonbronies , !midlandsbronies , location confirmed for the Reading meetup on the 30th. http://forums.rainbowdash.com/index.php?topic=491.msg7321#msg7321

!midlands I'm sorry everypony, but I have failed to procure us a room for the Sheffield meet... the one promising candidate just informed me that they are only willing to hire out for the whole day. and I'm guessing folks aren't wanting to shell out 30+ quid, on top of travel expenses, to hire a room we only need for half an hour. Ah well, plenty of other sweetness we can do!

!midlands i cant make Sheffield abit to far and im skint atm have fun all of you :)
Monday, 24-Oct-11 11:12:54 UTC from web-
@pvthudson ...thats a shame. There's another meet in December in Birmingham, though, so maybe you could make it to that?
-
-
!midlands About the gastronomic care during meet-up, I see some ponies have to get going early. Does that mean we're going for lunch somewhere (picnic in the park, weather permitted?) and dinner somewhere, or dinner alone? Although I don't go out for dinner often in't town myself - like my own cooking too - I know of some not too expensive places in centre and Crookes, so if wanted I can search for recommendable places :-)

!midlands Yipes! Sheffield is quite a distance. No chance I'll be driven there and back this time. I'll look into some stuff, but it's looking rather bleak.
Sunday, 23-Oct-11 17:41:56 UTC from web-
@flutterguy93 Well, it'd be really cool if you could make it.
-
-
!midlands Looking forward to see you all here in Sheffield :-)

@rotation I can grab him later on if you want, he's on the forum chat a lot, I'll ask him said question for you once he get's back :P
-
@yorkiebrony Awesome! Cool that you can make it.

!midlands If we're all set, can I get the 100% go ahead and then I can book my tickets at once ^.^

!lincsbrony After a survey done amongst members, it has been decided that the next !midlandsbronies meet will take place in Sheffield on Saturday 5th November 2011... wonder what you guys make of this?

Damn, despite the fact that it has been the dominant thought in my mind for the past 16 hours, I haven't actually tagged this: So I may not be able to attend the !MidlandsBronies meetup in November due to managerial differences.
Sunday, 23-Oct-11 03:24:16 UTC from web -
!MidlandsBronies The deadline for the November meetup survey ( http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Q8J7QBQ ) is this Sunday at midday. After that, the results will be correlated and we'll start planning this fo' reals.

!midlandsbronies !londonbronies For those coming to the Berkshire meetup on the 30th, I can confirm we will be meeting in Reading station, as opposed to just outside it. Taken a leaf out of @rotation 's book; I'll be the guy with the flag, and my apologies to @cptscoot for having a silly name :P Here's the forum link, for reference: http://forums.rainbowdash.com/index.php?topic=491.0

@opolopolous Bah I'm at an expo that day with @ceruleanspark
-
@cptscoot Yeah, kinda forgot about the expo when this got organised :P Oh well, have fun there!
-
@opolopolous Maybe we'll find some ponies while we're there so it's like 2 meetups on the same day!

So Mcdonald's has run not one, but two promotions for FiM in the US but not a single one in the UK? Sucks :( Half of the first season didn't even air here, I don't think.

@carcino I had a whole bunch of them until I replaced them with DVDs. I used to watch 'The Rebirth' religiously.
-
@thelastgherkin isn't it great what Grimlock builds the Technobots? (or whatever the hell they are called)
-
!lincsyorkshirebronies Just a quick question about the meet up. Will it be a combined event with !midlands?
Thursday, 20-Oct-11 12:42:03 UTC from web -
!MidlandsBronies Recently I got in touch with my Brony-side. On the forum I saw this announcement of a meet-up at the 5th of November. Just wanted to say I'm interested. No idea how this forum works btw, still trying to figure out how this forum works... Anyway having a meet-up in 'my backyard' would be a great way to meet you all :-)

@yorkiebrony Have you taken a peek at the survey yet? /pushy
-
@1mudkip88 Ah, I see. That's why I didn't get it the first time. This pony does books, no twitter haha.
-
@yorkiebrony You'll get used to it. It's pretty simple.

@seanthesheep Hmm... have you taken it yourself?
-
@pawnheart Aye.
-
@seanthesheep Well, I'll redash it when I can... cheers.
-
!midlandsbronies Change of plan! If we are indeed doing Nottingham and are indeed doing the bonfire night thing... well, I'm not. No chance I can afford a hotel room up there.
Monday, 17-Oct-11 15:52:45 UTC from web -
!midlands Are There ANY ponies from in and around sheffield lurking right now??? More importantly, any metalhead bronies?
Monday, 17-Oct-11 08:17:41 UTC from web -
@rotation Only 30 for a ticket??? Not nearly as pricy as I was expecting for a train ticket to Manchester! No way in hell I would get the bus though. ^^;
-
@purplephish20 !midlands i haz a grammar, yeah everything from the sheffield arena, to a cineworld and bowling alley. Also a choice of pretty much every kind of mainstream fast food outlet... Or a tgi fridays IF everyponys feeling classy
-
@purplephish20 I just saw this, sadly I'm not in to those types of music when viewing live. Nor do I do any sort of parties of them kind now. So that's a no for me I'm afraid :/
-
!MidlandsBronies So I have made a survey to help us plan where we do this: Go take it! http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Q8J7QBQ

@seanthesheep Excellent stuff!
-
!midlandsbronies Also, there seems to be a significant number who want it in or around Sheffield... how we organize a group vote on this, I'm not sure, especially given that my 'please DM me' request last time was met with a mind-boggling 0 responses.
Sunday, 16-Oct-11 12:30:10 UTC from web-
@rotation You got any ideas/preferences?
-
@seanthesheep Yeah, that was the original plan, but there seemed to be a considerable lobby for Sheffield, too... All thoughts and votes are beyond appreciated!

@rotation I know what I want to get as the prize for the quiz at !midlandsbronies 2: The Reacquainting. I'm also quite keen to see if I can book a wee conference room or something, so we can watch Sisterhooves Social. As I haven't very much loose cash at the moment, though, that may depend on each pony being willing to pop in a few quid for the hire.

@thelastgherkin That is amazingly adorable. Well, if we can't get a projector, but there's a screen there...

@thatonepony I meant actual puppets made out of fabric.
