12 years ago
Saturday 14th
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
The community liaison Stuart Otter son accessible by Facebook, twitter and FA, to help and welcome all new attendees or those needing a helping hand in socialising or simply confirming any needs/ requirements.
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
Activities 12pm-3pm (the red lounge booked 12-6pm)
Lone
we will be trying to have more activities on the day:
· Pub quiz (film themed) [run by TBC]
· Art Corner [run by TBC]
· General cards and board games provided [run by TBC]
So far we are hoping to provide as many games as possible with help from our volunteers.
however if you can always with a group of friends pick up a game an play, if any one want to help run games through the day so please contact myself asap email
3pm - Fursuit walk
Lone
If the weather is good 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.
5pm-9pm - Cinema Trip (varies on Show time)
Lone
Well we have several films for the weekend to choose, we are the millers and pain and gain are just some to come out this month also a few other films out on the day but with such a selection I’m more than happy to go with a group decision.
The trailer is linked in the film titles above and please contacts myself, (lone) feel free to make a mention on the forum about your interest.
Sunday 15th
There have been a few negotiations with Tribecca and with their Sunday deal of £2.50 Rekorderlig bottles, I have asked them if it would be ok for a smaller Sunday event, a place we can store any extra items like suits or luggage that is required and allow a second day at the venue. So if you want to save a little in the pocket Sunday maybe a cheaper day for you.
Further Details
Fursuit Changing Area (Purple Lounge booked 12pm-6pm)
Lone
this is just a quick explanation of the suit area. there will be high powered fans to allow air circulation and cooling for the suiters but also to dry the suits off, a suit rack will be available for the suits that need to air out a bit from use. Water will be provided in a cold water keg with cups for use but try not to make a mess. Lastly the suit changing area is strictly for storage of suit, changing in and out and drying or cooling off suits, space is limited at the best of times in the area so please do not spend time in there just socializing you will be asked to allow space for other suiters..

If the weather is good me and Reskell would like to advertise the art corner as the "Art in the park" that was mentioned in the last journal post, providing of course the weather is wonderful.
On a lighter note, I can't wait for the next meet!
