By Day
UK Bronies & Pegasisters will have a dedicated hang out area at this year's convention where our members old and new can come to meet up and embrace the magic of friendship! Please come along and take advantage of the photo opportunity with our UKBP branded table - we want to see as many of your beautiful faces on our Facebook group as possible! Our table will be here all weekend so if anypony needs a break from the chaos just to chill out with some friendly faces, come along and boop us!
UKBP Table
At 5pm on Saturday, we will be holding a scheduled meet upstairs next to the activities area. This will be more like a traditional PonyMeet where our members can sit down and chat with friends you've perhaps only spoken with online.
We negotiated this particular time slot with the UK PonyCon team so it would land right in the middle of the convention weekend. This way, everypony can share their experiences of the convention so far and even show off any exciting purchases already made.
PonyMeet
UKBP Staff will be around the convention as well as at our table and identifiable by our cloud branded Shirts, feel free to come and say hi!
Member T-shirts are available to order by email for collection from our table.
By Night
Many will be arriving in Nottingham on Friday for UK PonyCon, so we will be holding a pre-meet to welcome you with our usual friendly atmosphere and the inevitible plushie pile! The meet begins as soon as the first Bronies and Pegasisters arrive and ends when the last of us hits the hay, usually around 2am. Under 18s are welcome but only up to 9pm due to venue rules.
Friday
Saturday night's meet will begin right after the end of The Beach Party at PonyCon at 11pm and go on into the night until the last of us hits the hay, usually around 3am. Due to the nature of the meet and venue, we must restrict this event to over 18s only.
Saturday
UKBP Staff will be at the Best Western City Centre hotel from Friday 11th to Monday 14th October and are arranging a meet event in the Hotel cafe area every night!
There will be Cards Against Equestria, Twilight Sparkle's Secret Shipfic File and similar games. If you have a pony-related game you'd like to share with the herd, let us know and we will try to include it in our arrangements.
This event will serve as a general hub for everypony to socialise with UKBP members into the night, so don't worry if the games aren't for you.
Sunday
Sunday's meet begins right after the end of the Convention at 6pm, but everypony is encouraged to go and get food before we get too comfortable to move! As on Friday, under 18s are welcome to join us up to 9pm but the hotel restricts us to 18+ from 9pm onwards.
Where is everypony?
The Best Western City Centre Hotel is a 3 minute walk from the Convention.
Follow the tram lines down the hill to Royal Centre tram stop, then turn right up Woollaton Street and the Best Western is on the left.
The hotel is fully wheelchair accessible from street level with multiple lifts to all floors. The Café Bar area we're using is on the First floor and has nearby male, female and accessible toilets.
Reminders
If you are wearing our T-shirt, you are representing UKBP so we ask that you behave in a way that keeps us proud of you!
Anypony brought to our attention as being disruptive may be asked to leave, this includes excessive alcohol consumption. During the Convention this will be at the discretion of UKPonyCon Staff & Nottingham Conference Centre Staff, during evening events it will be at the discretion of UKBP and the Best Western hotel.
