‘The first MCM Expo event in Manchester is to be held at Manchester Central formerly G-MEX on Saturday 30th of July.

Bringing some of the MCM Expo magic north of Birmingham & London for the first time. There will be a wide selection of entertainment as well as a packed retailers area.

So, I shall be getting there early, but taking into consideration about queues I’m thinking the meet should begin around 1pm and end at 2:30-3pm or whenever everyone wants to walk off. The meeting place will be here:

Just underneath the Manchester central sign on the left. The area with the red dot.

This meet up will be a good chance to meet other fans, share jokes and have a good time. It’s also a brilliant chance to have a photoshoot with other Hetalia cosplayers – which I am really hoping to have. Although cosplay is optional.

Now, I have to bring in some RULES for the meet. (Yes, I’m sorry to do this but I feel it’s necessary)

1 - Please, please, please refrain from ‘glomping’. It can damage costumes and can invade some people’s personal space and I know a few of us aren’t big fans of that.

2 - Keep in mind, the Hetalia meet up will be outside of Manchester central which is a public area, try not to scream inappropriate things that will disturb the public or pin each other down on the floor. If that’s for a photograph, fine. But please don’t do it because ‘you’re in character’, save it for inside the building where we won’t be disturbing the public.

3 - We are representing the Hetalia community as cosplayers, please do not say or do anything that is offensive to history.

Now those are the only rules, other than that I hope people turn up and we have a great time together!

Now I’ll just sum it all up.

Date: 30th July 2011
Location: Outside Manchester Central: underneath the Manchester central sign. See this picture for reference. ( Or just look out for a short England cosplayer around that area. )
Time: 1pm – 2:30 or 3pm, or whenever everyone decides to leave.

Please respond if you plan on showing up so I have a good idea on numbers.

Oh awesome, I should be going as England so I'd be more than happy to tag along!

i like the no glomping.. as its like it refers to a certain person xD if this makes sense.. me and Angela thought so anyways :3

Glomping just seems unnecessary to me, it's like "I like your costume/character/whatever but rather than act like a civilised being and talk to you, I shall violate your personal space with a flying tackle" XD

@MD_GEIST
Ooh! Yay! There shall be and you as England's then~ I do hope you tag along~ <3

@xLaviChii
Lol. xD Well. I don't want herAnyone ruining our costumes or our time.

Yeah, I'll come meet up with whoever turns up, I'll be by myself anyway ;_;

...Is there a serial glomper I should be warned about? :/

There is, but we don't know if she shall be there or not. Apparently she is at a prom though, so...

And don't worry. I think i'm going to be alone too!

My America became an ass and backed out on me after we had payed for her bedding and everything at my place for the night before - sorry, i'm bitter.

If she is, we shall have to do a tagteam curse...or get Russia, that'll work. Bad America for dropping out, hopefully there'll be other Americas, that'll be cool

Yes hana.. she would ruin them l:
come to my house after expo with ash then <3 then i can glomp you bwahaha xD

A Hetalia meet up looks pretty cool so I may tag along as Norway with a friend

Hurrah! More people! This is good news...we just need a Germany now to bellow at us...

@xLaviChii
I'm cool with this dhasdf xD

@thewerepyre
That sounds awesome! I'll look out for you!~ I hope to see you there <3

@MD_GEIST
I do know a Germany cosplayer, but I don't think they're turning up as Germany.
