A group of Doctor Who fans have set up a club to organise local meet-ups in Pinellas County, Florida. The club, formerly known as Doctor Who Meet-Ups of Pinellas, is now called TARDIS Riders in Pinellas.
TARDIS Riders In Pinellas (TRIP) which was formerly Doctor Who Meet-Ups of Pinellas County, is planning meet-ups for folks in Pinellas County, Florida.
In the past, Whovian meet-ups in the Tampa Bay area were mostly on the east side of the Bay and hard for Pinellas residents to get to.
Fans in Pinellas County met at a November 25th Day of the Doctor showing and expressed the desire for Doctor Who meet-ups specifically in Pinellas County.
TRIP is not meant to be in competition with the existing Whovians groups. Hopefully both local and regional groups can complement each other in a nice blend of community.
The group’s next meet-up is planned for Thursday 27th February from 6.30 – 8.30pm at the Old North East Tavern in downtown St Pete, a few blocks west of the Vinoy.
