Welcome to the Official 2015 Central California Pony Meet thread!
Hey every pony! It's that time of the year again. Time for the countdown to the Central California pony meet. I ask that everyone please read the entire post, as there are important things that you will need to know. For those who may not know, our theme this year is based on the kindest and most timid of the mane 6, Fluttershy!

Saturday, May 2nd, 2015. I do apologize as I know some members will not be able to attend.

Before we get to registration, here are a few things to keep in mind:
1) We are pet owners, so any items I bring may come into contact with our cats or dog. If you have allergies, please be aware.
2) We will be renting a venue this year to give us more space and to make sure everyone is comfortable. Please treat our venue with the same respect as you have my home the past three years.
3) If you aren't 18 or over, please have parental permission to attend or your parent/guardian with you. I do not wish to be held responsible or blamed if you drive here without permission. I do not condone lying or sneaking away to come to the meet.
4) We will be serving lunch and beverages. If you would like to bring something for yourself or to share, please feel free to.
5) Please feel free to bring any ponies/merch/other toys you wish to sell. It's always fun to find a new addition for your collection.
6) Remember to follow the golden rule! This is a meet for all pony collectors, regardless of what generation you love. I ask that everyone be respectful of others and their interests. No badmouthing or fighting and please keep things PG. You will be asked to leave if the rules are broken.
