Hi Everyone! :hello:
This will be your link to pin meets organised by one of the Trading groups around the UK. But feel free to add to it if your groups have meets.
There will be a pin meet on the 3rd of October at the Cardiff DS. It starts at 10am and finishes about midday.
Hope to see some of you there :D

How can I find out if I have a local pin trading group??
Martin
where are you from Martin as someone here could tell you if there is one or not.
But saying that there is quite a few on facebook and many people join multiple groups even if not from the same area.
I have a pin meet coming up in Manchester in November and thats been posted on the Manchester Groups page.
Hi there,
I am based in Stratford Upon Avon in the Midlands.
Thanks,
Martin :D
Does anybody know if there are any official meets planned similar to the Milton Keynes event. I missed out on that one, but would be very interested in attending a similar even with a pin signing or new pin release.
Would like to hear any rumours or of actual plans.
Regards,
Martin
Guys
We have just heard some exciting news,next April 30th and the 1st May there will be a 2 day pin meet in Birmingham dont have the location details or who is organising this meet but this will be one big event over the 2 days, has anyone else heard anything???
I will contact my source and see if there is any more details she can provide
Regards
Simon and Wendy
:D/ :D/ :D/
Fantastic news, can't wait for an update!!

hi, its mousemeets they organised a similar event in manchester last year
I might have to look at going to this but all depends on costs etc and if Im going to DLRP when other half goes to San Diego XD would love to attend though.
I'd like to come along to the event in Birmingham if it goes ahead - if I find out the official deets far enough in advance then I can book cheap day return train tickets.
It would be nice if for official meets if we get any more that is that they told us a good month or two in advance to arrange time off and travel.
I'll more than likely come along to Danny's meet in Manc next month provided it doesn't clash with my friend's bday event which I think will be ok cos its more then likely he'll want to go out in the evening and not the day time so I can just go home straight after the meet.
Aloha :stitch:
A bit more info on the Birmingham meet next year.
Apparently at the last Mousemeet it was a bit hit and miss with the pin trading. They were stuck at the back and there wasn't really a lot going on.
The next meet however there will be a seperate room/s which will "open 48 hours" ooh the joys of midnight trading :lol:
Seriously, however it will be a major pin fest me thinks.
Sam is getting more info all the time and it could be an excellent weekend.
We will keep you informed as and when we get anything new.
Aloha
This Birmingham pin meet fits in quite nicely with the bumper bank holdiay period we are going to be having then!! Hopefully more people will come as they will have no work on the Friday and Monday!
Thanks William and Kate! :thumbs:
I heard that at Mousemeets last year, the pin traders were stuck at the back of the room with very little room for pin trading. They were also accused of making too much noise and stealing scrapper pins that the organisers wanted to sell for charity???
I heard it was very badly organised by people who did not know anything about pin trading
I heard it was a great event overall. Most of my in friends went to it and I heard it was a good event as they came back with good pins.
My manchester pin meet had a good turn out and a few new faces, I didnt have my phone to take pictures and everyone else was too busy looking at pins hahaha everyone left with new pins and was happy :) shallbe organising one a week before Mousemeets for those that cant attend mousemeets.
is there ever one in nottingham?
just to say that southampton store is having a pin met in feberuary on the 5th follow the facebook southampton pin traders in the site and it will give all information on it between 9-1 on that saturday in the marlands shopping centre next door to the disney store
i will be going to the southampton disney pin meet,it'll be my first ever one,i wonder what it'll be like? i don't have many pins to take but i'm looking forward to it.
:D Hi ,

Also for those close by, Im having a small pin meet Saturday 23rd April :)
Hi,
I won t be able to do this one as it's on my mums birthday lol pity she was not a pin collector :lol:
I should organise one in Edinburgh , one anyone else from around scotland who would be intrested?? :D
Scrumpman
I know there is sean who would probably go to a meet up in scotland and I think there are one or to other people up there as well..
Hi,
Well I think it be good to have one here we could all meet in a disneystore to start then if there is enough people I would not mind hiring a place because I know a few cheap places in the city centre. At the mouse meets what exactly goes on is it just a table per person and is there a cafe or entertainment on as well? I have never been so I d just like to know what it would take to make a pin day here in scotland?

Hi Scrumpman,
Google Mousemeets and you should get up the itinery for the event. It looks awesome and we can't wait to get there.
Hi,
Will have a look ty
Scrumpman
17 days till Mousemeets :D/ Pins at the ready.......Now we just need a bigger car
haha I cant wait, doubt I will be able to trade for my wants since my wants list is so small, Im just looking forward to the weekend.. Plus my mancheser pin meet in a weeks time so double the fun :)
:D/ 9 days to go.
Our wants list is quite extensive so we're hoping to reduce it by quite a lot.
Simon is being a lot optimistic saying I have to trade all 400 of our trades for ones on our wants :shock:
We just have to decide now how long we spend trading and what we'd like to do. There's so much going on there that we could be torn.
Hopefully it will be easy to decide.
What would you suggest Stitch2814 :?:
