10 Years Anni-fur-sary meet 10th September 2023

Hi furs,

Well at long last, here we are, ten years of Middlesfur. This September is the anniversary meet! It’s been a long ride, but a very enjoyable one. We hope as many of our members old and new have the opportunity to join us for this celebration. We have a pub quiz planned, karaoke, bowling, and go-carting! Most of all this is a celebration of the furry spirit and community we have built together. There’ll be a meet at the bus station from 11:30am and then on to the Isaac’s at 12:00. A quiz will take place at 13:30. If suiters are present, we will aim for a fur walk at 15:00, with a committee member staying behind at the pub if anyone wants to stay. Eventually we will move to level X, for bowling, karaoke, and go-karting. We hope to make it a fun day for all! Thank you all who have attended in the past and welcome to all newcomers. We hope to continue the mini-meet for as long as possible. With your support, we can make this happen! Happy birthday Middlesfur! Let’s party!

After Party

9-Year Anniversary Meet 9th October (Reschedule)

Well hello to all our amazing furs, we sure hope that you all are doing well. Yes, you read that right, it’s been 9 whole years since Middlesfur was founded! Looking back throughout the years, it has certainly been a wild ride and a lot of things have changed. In our first few years, things were tough, not knowing if anyone will attend, and also the venue may have decided to not open without telling us. After that things slowly grew as word got around. We had to change venues multiple times, changing the meet day to avoid conflicts with other meets, and Neptune being woken up at 4 am to be told that our logo was infringing copyright. We soldiered on though, designed our new and better logo, and continued to grow. Recently we had to adapt to online meets, and due to the Covid times, we had to hide in our homes. This was hard for not only us, but also you lovely members. Middlesfur became an important time in our lives and it was frustrating to not be able to see each other, but we survived and came out the other side. We’ve made a lot of good friends along the way, some moved away or had to stop coming, but we appreciate you all for making Middlesfur. From all of the Middlesfur committee, we thank you for making Middlesfur what it is today and we can’t wait for what the future holds.

For our anniversary, we’re going to have a pub quiz to celebrate and give back to you, our loving members. As with every year, it’ll be free to enter and will have prize support. We will also be having games and of course, the fursuit walk, weather and suiters permitting. We hope to see you there!

8th Annifursary IRL 12/09/2021 (Covid rules apply)

(PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW THE COVID RULES BELOW BEFORE ATTENDING)

Heya furs, you read that right our 8th anniversary meet will be in IRL again! We thank you so much for all your support and patients during these hard times, between Covid and adapting to online meets has not been easy for anyone but thank you again.

When Middlesfur first started 8 years ago, we never thought that years later we’d still be here. Through the thick and thin of it, from drama to cease and desist requests with our old logo, we are still going. We thank everyone who was there from the beginning and those who joined up along the way. Our meet has changed a lot from logos, venues, committee members, and our members but we want to continue to grow and adapt to what you furs want, including expanding our merch (https://middlesfur.teemill.com/).

The Venue

Yes, we are going back to the Resolution, this is because of its willingness to cooperate with the meet at no cost while being close to the bus station with space and alcohol available at a reasonable price. If you know of a better location for future meets please contact a committee member with the information.
