(Which is what Grey did since he wanted to use more of us sexy staff members.)

This meet marks the second complete year of Bristol brony meetups, starting with the Season 2 Finale meet up I ran those 24 months ago.

Meet Plan

Where we shall gather to consume enough caffeine¹ to keep us going throughout the day before we move on to…

12:00am–1:30pm The Knight’s Templar The Punch bowl

There has been a late change, we will now be visiting the Punch bowl instead of the night’s templar. The Punch bowl is located on the same street as Hydra Books.

…Lasers! Since everyone had a blast last time⁸ we shall be returning for another round of shooting lasers at people’s laser targets upon vests we are given to wear so we can be shot at… WITH LASERS

Bristol Bronies doesn’t endorse or encourage the consumption of large quantities of caffeine, or the use of caffeine as a substitute for rest and a balanced diet, please consume caffeine responsibly.
Please remember to pay for your food and take only to consume the food you have paid for.
There we are referring to Starbucks branded caffeine drank earlier as you are not allowed to drink Starbucks drinks in the pub.⁹
Bristol Bronies uses the word “craziness” to mean outside of the norm¹⁰. We do not endorse the losing of ones mind to a degree where one could be classified as crazy as Screw Loose.
Please do not spend more queen golds⁷ than you can afford too, remember to stay financially responsible.
Please also do not spend other people’s queen golds⁷ – That is stealing and it is bad.
Queen golds refers to money, specifically British pounds sterling.
And because the staff where awesome enough to give us an offer to make it cheeper
Nothing however stops you buying more caffeine at the pub and consuming it there with your food.
Even though it is only marginally outside the norm to enjoy brightly coloured ponies.
