Mini-meet
From WikiFur, the furry encyclopedia.
Mini-meets are furmeets that contain (on average) no more than 20 people; the term is most widely used in the United Kingdom. These meets can sometimes be an impromptu event or scheduled events held between larger furmeets. The subject and venue is usually of a simple nature such as a group trip to a bar, the movies or an exhibit. These events are not necessarily of a 'furry' nature, however may still include such things as fursuiting, drawing and games.
Regularly scheduled mini-meets are uncommon, however some do exist and are popular.
- The Manchester Mini-meet is held monthly in Manchester, UK, on the second weekend of the month. Attendance is usually between 20-30 people. It is arguably the largest minimeet in Britain and is larger than some main furmeets.
- The HantsFurs hold regular mini-meets and special meets, usually announced on their mailing list and UKFur.
- There is a minimeet held every two months in Preston.
[edit] Spin-offs
Mini-meets sometimes also come in the form of specialised meets which cater to specific interests within the fandom. These are less common and less regular than most minimeets, however seem to gain good attendance considering their limited scope. Again, these seem to be most prevalent in the United Kingdom.
- Babyfur meets are held in numerous locations.
- The Manchester Fatfur meet is held on occasional months at different restaurants.
- The first Vegetarian Furmeet was held in Huddersfield in early September, 2008.
