Hello all my lovely fellow pony enthusiasts! I am proud to announce the SEVENTH year of the Southeast Pony Meet! I can't believe it's already been so long since I started this meet in 2011. Last year was a bit different, but we are returning to the normal clubhouse this year- it was by far the biggest the meet has ever been last year with almost 40 people! I hope to see new people as well as good friends! This meet is for all pony lovers and collectors alike
There is no discrimination of generations.
DATEJune 24th at 10 AMDoors open to those with tables at 9 AM
WHEREThe meet will be located in the same clubhouse it has taken place in every year, with the exception of last year!
Flowers Crossing at the Mill Clubhouse
1210 Providence Drive
Lawrenceville, GA 30044The clubhouse is located near lots of shopping and eating! Including a strip mall and tons of central shopping hubs, primarily off of Scenic Highway.
Extra, Extra!If anyone has any floor fans they could bring along, that would be majorly helpful! The reason I try to avoid summer months for the meet is because it can get pretty warm in the clubhouse. I think some additional fans scattered around could help a lot with this!
HOW IT WORKSWhile this meet began with me paying for the clubhouse out of pocket, I decided to host raffles instead to raise money.
This means there is no entry or table fee! All I ask is that if you can spare anything, to donate some kind of prize for the raffles to help raise money for next year
I am taking RSVP's now and please, I BEG, if you RSVP please be certain that you can go, especially if you reserve any tables! I have had people RSVP in the past, and then don't show up without a word or let me know the day of that they cannot come. I understand things happen, but if it can be avoided please let me know in advance!
Walk ins are more than welcome as well, but I cannot guarantee we will be able to get food for you. However, there are plenty of fast food places and other restaurants around if we can't!

LUNCH I have decided to order pizza for food this year. We sadly cannot cater to all food allergies, so be sure to bring some things you can eat just in case we don't have anything
We have quite a large variety of food sensitivities in our small group so finding food that everyone can eat is quite the challenge
If you want to eat pizza with us for lunch, please plan to bring $5(for each person if you will have guests with you) to help pay for it. Additionally, please let me know in advance when you RSVP if you will be eating with us. Thanks!
CHILDRENI realize the subject of children is a touchy one as some people are comfortable having them around while others are not. If you need/want to bring a child along please make sure you let me know when you RSVP and let everyone else know by posting here or on Facebook. If we do have kids along I can assure you I will think of some fun things to keep them entertained, but please make sure they are watched at all times to respect others' wishes. I know a lot of people don't want kids running around and getting into things they shouldn't, especially if it's their collections and things they hold near and dear. Thank you so much in advance for your understanding!
FACEBOOKThe SEPM has its own group and please feel free to join it! There are lots of pictures from the past years so you can get a feel for what it is like and lots of updates and chit chat!

https://www.facebook.com/groups/326744247350358/photos/And that about concludes the thread for now! If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to let me know! I will add more/make changes to this post and I will let you all know of any updates!
I look forward to hearing from all of you and I can't wait!
