Saturday 9th February

Before 12pm - meet up at Manchester Piccadilly Train station

Please meet up with the group at the train station before 12pm (we don’t like waiting for stragglers). The group is outside platform 1 & 2 and near the large departure/arrival signs.

When in doubt, have someone’s mobile number

After 12pm - head to Crunch on Canal Street

The group will wander over to Crunch, our host venue. This month we have the ground floor, the upstairs will be just a fursuit changing area and cool off point. You’ll be greeted by Lone. If you have a suit you can ask him about the day’s suiting orientated activities, where changing areas are and when they are available.

At that point the day is yours to spend as you see fit. Go out with a group of your friends to the city centre, stay inside the venue, sit in the nearby gardens, head to the cinema and so forth.

If you have an activity you want to organise (e.g. trip to bowling alley, or seeing a film), let us know and we can post about it here and help you.

At around 1pm people will be splitting off to head for food. Some go to the nearby pizza take away, some head to the sushi restaurant, some head to the Arndale food court, this is your own choice.

3pm - Fursuit walk
Lone

If the weather is good (HA! ~ editor) a fursuit walk shall happen at 3pm. Fursuiters are advised to use common sense, change early before 3pm so you don’t get left behind and queue patiently to use the limited space designated as the changing room area.

Activities

Throughout the day there is be a number of activities, times are yet to be confirmed but the activities include:
Drawing challenges
Video games (Provided by Lone, games include Kinect adventures, star wars, black ops 1&2,left for dead, fruit ninja, garden of Eden, power up heroes)

5pm-7pm - Cinema Trip
Lone
Wreck it Ralph will be premier in the UK this week, and with the theme of retro gaming it's a very appropriate movie to see, that will hit all the nostalgic notes of old gaming and looks plainly like a good film.
The trailer is linked below and please contact Myself, (lone) or make a mention on the forum about your interest for numbers. So those who want to go. So please feel free to PM me you name contact and Preference on 2D or 3D, on FA, UKfur, Twitter, Skype, and [email="lonethedog@gmail.com"]email[/email]

Donations
Lone

We accept donations. We are keeping it as transparent as possible and you can always enquire about what we do with donations, how we handle it and give us suggestions on how to make it more transparent and what we can invest it in.

December we had a number of very generous individuals, above all Zaki made one of the most generous donations to MancFurs, also Glynt and Malloy made a other notable Donations, we are now in the positive figures by £85.49 which will go towards helping the Manchester mini meets better in any way we can find it possible. With the latest donation we have been able to expand and provide a better service for Suiters, firstly a rail stand will be provided to tidy up the changing area and slo hangers provided to even allow better drying, on the topic of drying, we have also invested in two industrial fans, bought at a very bargain-able price used for multiple functions, above all drying suits out and even cooling the suiter lounge as we have noticed the issue with heating up there. for the sheer generosity of the two furs we hope you as much as we do in MancFurs staff, wish them very well and thank them for the money which has helped provide you a better meet. If you want to get a detailed account of spending ask Lone for the spreadsheet.

If you wish to donate you can come up to a MancFurs staff and ask about the donation box, which is sealed until the end of the meet where witnesses watch the money being counted. Lone is the treasurer and puts it into a Lloyds's TSB account.

You can alternatively donate via PayPal to [email="manchesterminimeets@hotmail.com"]manchesterminimeets@hotmail.com[/email]

Volunteers
Lone
Last I would like to mention the Volunteers, those that have helped the meets in any little or large way possible, from helping pass information, set-up or just providing the meets with materials we need to help carry them on, so I would like to personally thank the volunteers for the last few months and I hope they can keep up the good work.
