Manchester Meet – 11th May 2013
12 years ago
Theme
Sci-fi, with the amount of action sci fi and well dam good films recently we feel Sci fi is the best way to our final frontier (geddit?) so feel free to space things up and bring out ya phasers, iron man suits or be the man of steel, there is too much to choose from.
A quick mention about the venue:
So yes we have a new venue if you didn't notice..... after months of searching and don't worry we kinda knew we had outgrown and needed a venue change so Tribecca was the best alternative that met all out needs but also improved on them all and even include food served.. again a thanks for Kiffy pointing it out in discussions early on, if things go well it may remain the venue for the foreseeable future so please good behaviour and spend lots.
· Anyone caught by Tribecca staff drinking their own alcohol within the venue premises will receive a permanent ban.
· Anyone caught by MancFurs staff drinking will receive a ban at the staffs members discretion.
· The bar will be working under a ID only service for alcohol, so please bring any form of ID with proof of age or you may not get served.
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 Tribecca on Canal Street
The group will wander over to Tribecca, our host venue, the upstairs (Purple Lounge) be the fursuit changing area. 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.
Activity sessions In Tribecca
We will be continuing on the activity sessions with improvements and tweaks. We have organised different activities to entertain attendees should they feel lost with what to do at the meet and don’t have their own plans. We politely ask that attendees not participating to be mindful of not taking up seating space that participants want to use, as some areas are booked for art and games use only.
We are currently tweaking the times of when the activities begin, we will post the times on Wednesday and there will be leaflets in the venue.

I probably won't be able to make it, got to buy a new phone so unless I get a few commissions quick then it's doubtful.

Just to point out, Tribeca is not on Canal Street, but on Sackville Street, which intersects Canal Street at the corner of Sackville Gardens.
