Manchester Roleplaying Meetup

Meetup.com have revamped and reinvented themselves. There were previous GURPS and Fudge meetups scheduled for Manchester, but neither ever got enough members for any meetup to actually happen; they used to require a quorum of five. They appear to have nuked all the groups without a critical mass of members, so now there's no GURPS group in Manchester, and no Fudge RPG groups in Britain at all. (I note that the one in Wichita, Kansas has just one member)

Mad fool that I am, I have started the Manchester Roleplayers Meetup Group, not dedicated to any one system. Whether anyone will join, I don't know; but if you're into tabletop RPGs and live somewhere near Manchester, sign up now!

The first date Meetup spat out was September 21, which is only four days away. I expect the first actual meetup won't be until next month.

We just had our first Roleplayers Meetup event in Wichita last night. I figure the Fudge one is hopeless... but if they've nuked low-membership ones, I'm wondering why it and most of the others I've been a member of haven't been nuked.

I've been a member of Meetup since June 2003, and last night was the first Meetup event that's happened for any of my groups.
