A happy Halloween to all!

You can find all the banners after the break, in no particular order.

Why don't you guys go to meets?

So for you avid readers of Equestria Daily, you might have noticed they recently held a poll on meet-up groups. With my involvement in Manechester and helping run meets for over a year now and for being a massive fan of such events way before the Brony craze even began I though i'd analyse/critique the results of the poll. Check out my thoughts after the break! 

Thoughts on Alicorn Fluttershy

Ok, so lets take the bait. Those of you who are aware, the above image has been floating about for a few days now. That and a tweet from M. A. Larson. Now, lets for a second imagine this is legit and season 4 will see Fluttershy becoming an alicorn. I'm surprised I haven't seen more drama revolving around this, maybe people have just accepted it since Twilicorn, but I think we'll likely see quite a bit of drama surface if any more info turns up. Join us after the break for my thoughts on this.

Super Winter Brony Party, coming January!

Spyker, Stormswirl and and a fellow named Josh are organising a big bash in the new year! If you guys can remember Spyker's birthday meet last year you'll be quite familiar with the layout of this event! It'll definitely be the best start of the year for us bronies! Make sure you're in the capital on the 25th January.

The party is taking place in the fabulous PAUSE BAR in central London.

For more information take a gander at the UKoE thread here!

Manechester Presents Season 4 Premiere!

For more information check out the Facebook event here. UKoE thread to follow soon!

BronyScot Event Announced!

Good evening fillies and gentlecolts! Tonight we are pleased to bring you the first official announcement of the BronyScot Event. As you can guess with our name, we are planning an event in Scotland! That's the Country above England! Specifically we're looking into a selection of venues in the wonderful city of Edinburgh. The date is set to be 2014.

I'm the Communication and PR manager for BronyScot and I am joined by several others who are hard at work planning and organising this event. I'm sure they'll all make themselves known over the next few months.

We would much appreciate it if you could take a little time filling out this simple survey we have prepared.

Survey can be found here!​

Make sure to give us as much feedback as possible. This event is mostly intended for Scottish and Northern based bronies, but we'd love to see a few of you Southern guys make it up as well.

If you're wondering about that lovely filly up there, that's Nessie! Our Mascot, designed by one of our event organisers and designer DarryJamStain.

As coms manager I'll be able to answer any questions you might have, post them below or email me at rothstein@bronies.org.uk.
If you want to get on board and help out, don't hesitate to ask! UKoE Thread can be found here!

Thanks for reading and if you can spread the word as much as possible! Stay tuned for more information!

Nightmare Night Banner contest!

Three years of Bronies - Thirty of Ponies!

It's kind of shocking how quickly time has gone shooting by these past few years. On October 10th 2010 the 4th generation of My Little Pony aired on American Television, little did we know that this was the start of quite the phenomenon. Now three years down the line we've grown into this amazingly huge fandom, with thousands of fans from across the globe. I think we're all really excited for what Season 4 might bring come the end of November, I certainly wish November would get here sooner.

But yes, on to the main topic of this post. Three wonderful years of MLP:FiM, Bronyism and thirty years in total of MLP as a franchise. This sort of mile stone needs a celebration to fit. I hope you guys all have something splendid planned for Thursday, not sure what I'll be doing, but chances are it'll involve watching a few episodes, haven't seen an episode in ages! Whatever you've got planned, we'd love to hear! Comment below or hit that submit button!

Summer Sun Celebration Review!

Oh woah, where do I even start. This right here, the wonderful music festival that if it had ended here i'd have still been satisfied with the entire weekend. I think everyone else would agree, this is what set BUCK apart from most other conventions out there. There's not really much words can do to express the experience, not to the full extent, really was something you had to have been there for.

Let's start from the beginning, we were all there in the Moon Under Water after filming in the Waldorf for the National Geographic Documentary. For those familiar with the Manechester Muffin meets, the Moon under water is quite a large venue. We took out the entire upstairs, it was a beautiful moment I think, so many bronies all sat down, cheering, eating and drinking in preparation for the upcoming entertainment. Shockingly enough the staff were still able to serve us within a few minutes of ordering, which I have to say, kudos to them.

Continue after the break!

Outflanks competition winners announced!

So for those of you interested in Greeting's upcoming card game, the contest that was set out to determine various aspects of the game has ended and the winners have been announced! Check the link below to see the winners!

The six virtues and twenty archetypes.

Also, a quote from the judge's favourite: "Thrust". Yeah, BUCK's very own Pant's Man won!

Gamers Night 1 - Adventure to Big City and beyond!

A few of you might remember a while back, Harby used to run Bronies UK Gamer Nights from time to time. These were quite popular at the time and it's been a shame to see Harby leave the fandom and drop these quite wondrous Gamer Nights. So, here we are, bringing them back officially with a kick! On Sunday the 29th September at half past seven we'll be heading down to Big City for some crazy antics and maybe a bit of prop hunt!

Hope to see you there, check out the event page for more info!

Sorry for the delay + Little bit of News!

Sweet Celestia! It's been almost two weeks since my last post. Honestly, i've been burnt out since BUCK, I swear, that mixed with being dead busy sorting through countless amounts of old belongings and sorting my new bedroom out, it's been extremely time consuming.

I have been working on the review for the Summer Sun Celebration, it pretty much was finished on day one but then I got side tracked with what I explained above. That'll be up before the end of the week I can assure you, though I'm not sure what i'll do about my BUCK review, I might try and sum it up quicker in a video response, we'll have to see. 

Forbidden Planet Bristol Pony Day!

You know for the longest time I thought Bristol was Kent, but that's a story for another day. Actually heard about this on EQD surprisingly enough. The awesome fellows of Forbidden Planet Bristol are hosting a My Little Pony day, for bronies. Can't complain about that now can we. Shame Forbidden Planet Manchester and Leeds aren't on the same page with us bronies. One day maybe, we can only wait and see.

For those who live in Bristol get yourself down to Forbidden Planet on Saturday 14th September between the hours of 10am and 4pm.

There's going to be a Cosplay catwalk, MLP quiz with a giant pony up for grabs and blind bag painting!
