I didn't realise it at the time but there were a couple of years when furmeets in Manchester were really fun, just the right size and mix of familiar faces and new people for me.
If I'm honest with myself, a good furmeet in Peterborough doesn't capture the mixing pot vibe. I'll not get days like those again.
@stuart_otterson Furmeets just become impractically popular after a point. It's probably why a lot of more seasoned/grouchy folk stop attending them and just do their own thing with folks they know.
