Manchester furmeet - 9th August
11 years ago
Manchester mini furmeet on Saturday 9th July!
~ Please remember the meet is 16+ only ~
So notes are going at the top this time considering people are obviously not reading them at the bottom of the journal...
Please stop eating and drinking your own stuff inside the venue (bottled water is allowed for fursuiters) This issue is irritating the venue and putting our booking in jeopardy. The venue sell their own reasonably price food and drinks so support the venue please guys!
Please remember that the fursuit lounge is for fursuiters and approved handlers only. And no, this doesn't mean if you're a fursuiter you can just sit around down there with your friends. It's a changing area. You're either getting changed, helping someone get changed or you're going upstairs.
Last point, please remember the fursuit lounge closes AT 6pm. Meaning it must be clear and totally empty ready for the venue to use at 6pm. Last meet there were AGAIN a ridiculous amount of cases and bags left downstairs which all had to be moved upstairs by staff. Please remember to move your case upstairs BEFORE 6pm.
If anyone wants/needs any clarification on these comments feel free to note this account and a staff member will get back to you ASAP
Anyway, onto the good stuff...
This months furmeet will be held at Tribecca bar in Manchester near Sackville gardens. If you are unsure where this is, newbies meet up at between 11am and 12pm at Manchester Piccadilly train station outside platforms 1 and 2. It always helps to have someone’s mobile number in case you get a bit lost or feel shy. Feel free to message any staff or volunteers to ask for a number to contact people on. There will be a member of staff waiting to welcome you at the station and are free to talk to any shy MancFurs who may be attending their first meet. Don’t worry! We've all been there! :)
We’ll make our way to Tribecca, our host venue, dead on 12 so don't get left behind. After you’ve arrived, 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 and take part in some activities, sit in the nearby gardens, head to the cinema and so forth.
Remember the fursuit walk is at 3pm so get changed before this time please!

There will be a number of volunteers about on the day. They wear yellow lanyards with volunteer badges ^^
Activities
Card games
Feel free to bring any card games you have like Pokemon or Magic. Don't be shy just ask to play! We have a few regular decks of cards kicking about so ask a volunteer and play away.
Art corner UNTIL 2PM
Every meet we have an art corner hosted by some helpers. Feel free to pull up a chair and get drawing. This corner is open to everyone with pens and paper provided. Artists can sit down and even sell art/print/merc (No cash exchange inside the venue please) PM for further details.
Drinking games
Pretty obvious one there =P Take care of yourself! We're not babysitters.
Fursuit walk
The fursuit will take place at 3pm so we recommend you change before this time and be ready to leave. It's raining we usually stay inside the venue though
Hope to see you all there! <3

What time do the meets actually finish? Is there a set time or is it just when everyone has gone?
MancFurs

OP
Well the fursuit lounge closes at 6pm so the meet tends to be a bit quieter from that point onwards. A lot of people tend to go off in their groups for dinner too ^^ There is no set finish time though as we are in a bar which stays open for the night.

That makes sense. Btw, you might wanna notice the top of the journal says the 9th July not August. ^^
