13th November 2022 Meet (New Venue)

Heya furs, we hope you all had a great Halloween and also that you be safe during bonfire night. Due to multiple issues, we have decided to move to The Isaac Wilson. If you go to Teesside Uni you may have been there for societies. They have better disability access, tend to be quieter, and the staff are very welcoming. They serve good food and feel free to check the menu(https://www.teesinns.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/IW-Feb-Menu.pdf) so you know what is available.

We are planning to have our fursuit walk weather permitting, we will also be playing a variety of games including social computer games like Jackbox also boardgames. We still have Middlesfur stickers (50p) and some limited edition anniversary enamel pins (£3) for those who are interested.
