MegaMare Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Hi guys, I'm planning on trying to organize a meetup around the area where I love. Sadly I have never have done this before and was wondering if you guys had any ideas on what to show, plan, or organize in order to ensure that a meetup runs smoothly.Thanks!

accountdeleted Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 uhhhh...I have very little experience with this, the only thing that I had any part in running was my local scouts when I was a patrol leader (one of the kids). I have heard some describe doing what you suggest is akin to herding cats. But, I will try to help.... hehe... all the advice i can think of Boils down to one idea:Don't expect things to go smoothly. It may rain, People might not turn up, Things may cancel, bookings may be lost. Try to see what obvious things may go wrong (Ie, if held outside, check weather report 24-48 hours ahead of time, contact people for change of location). Allow more time than you think you will need. If it takes you 5 min to walk somewhere, allow 10-15. People will happily talk to each other for a bit if it is too long.Hopefully everything will go according to plan, But dont count on it. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChancellorPuddinghead Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Is anyone on this site in the Raleigh, NC area? I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weesh Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I have considered starting a local Brony Meetup with a friend, but I am not quite willing to broadcast myself quite that clearly. I live in a small town. So small in fact, that if you search for all the meetups in my town, they almost fit on one page. I work with lots of local professionals and I don't want this to effect my career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosewind Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Keep it small, keep it simple. FB is a good spot to look, there are a lot of regional brony groups that collaborate there for meetup purposes -- one might already exist in your area.

Starfox64x Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Well, i was planning on something similar, starting up a group in my area on Facebook or something and meet up every so often. I'm thinking just get some details planned out, when and where mostly, and try to find a pony outlet to advertise, like EQD or Ponibuuro or something... get some contact info from people and figure out who's coming.
