What is Papa to do when he cannot attend in person?
This upcoming Saturday will be the First Steem Meetup in Wales! Since June of 2017 @pennsif has been hard at work on steemit. He's got some great content, keeps track of the homesteading and prepping community here on steemit and now even hosts an Alternative Lifestyle Show on MSP Waves Radio! We've had the blessing of "speaking" a few times on discord, and recently I even sent him a package! Click here to check out his unboxing video on dtube!
THE WALES STEEMIT MEETUP
While it would be amazing to attend, I will not be travelling to Wales before this weekend, but if you happen to be in the area, here is the info from the post that @pennsif made.
WHEN: Saturday, 10 February 2018, 11 am
WHERE: Lampeter in Ceredigion
LOCATION: Victoria Hall in the town centre during the monthly People's Market, in the upstairs meeting room
Since @pennsif is hard at work growing the steemit community, even getting @huwsnursery the 18 year old Vegetable Gardening YouTuber to join, @pennsif and some others will be running a drop-in session for any members of the public who would like to find out more about steem and steemit. With the ambitious personal goal that @pennsif has of signing up 100 new steemians before the end of the year, opportunities like this should make a difference. Contact @pennsif for more info if you are interested!
PAPA PITCHES IN
While I will not be able to attend in person, I thought that perhaps I could make an appearance "in spirit" and decided to send some #free goodies over for the meetup for a #giveaway. I made a handful of original, one of a kind, steemit t-shirts in assorted sizes to be given away, and tossed in a few prints of some of the digital artwork that other steemians had blessed me with.
With about a dozen steemians already planning on attending such as @pennsif, @theadmiral0, @pumpkinsandcats, @cryptocariad, @cryptojelly, @artystuff, @monkeybots, @callumogilvy, @timmartin and @mayaliland, and with many more steemians in Wales, I'm not sure how they will decide who gets what, but I'm sure that they will have some fun with it.
After talking to @pennsif about this incredible upcoming meetup, and after verifying that he got my package, I decided to help raise some awareness and promote the meetup too. Hopefully we can inspire some more steemians to attend. After personally attending meetups in Missouri and Wisconsin, and after meeting steemians in Arkansas and Texas as well, I would strongly encourage any steemians who could possibly attend this event to go for it! Shifting this community offline and connecting in person has been incredibly beneficial for many of us, and some strong relationships have been built too!
Regardless of who actually attends or gets some free t-shirts, I can't wait to see the posts from those who make it out! Steem on!
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

"Regardless of who actually attends or gets some free t-shirts, I can't wait"
This is so kind of you sir. Meet ups are so amazing. We are having one here in Ibadan; Nigeria on the 24th of February and i am excited about it.
I look forward to seeing international meet up and attending it too. We are taking Steemit/Steem to the moon. No stopping us.
I hope that I can make it over to Nigeria some day!
That would be super amazing. The excitement would skyrocket on people's faces. You will walk in the room and it's going to be electric. So many fun and cool spots to take you around. We patiently await your grand coming. 💪💪💪.
The way you design your tops are super amazing. Always with a touch of class! Really nice.
If I can pull it off, let's surprise them! And let's find some wild animals to play with too!
That would be the highlight of it. I always enjoying knowing what interests you. That would be super cool...which of the wild animals is your favourite?
Wow! @olawalium,If Papa-pepper walks into the meet up here in Ibadan, the house would literally light up! Twould be so amazing! @papa-pepper, however, if you can't make it in person, you could do us a video that can be aired at the event. Twould definitely encourage and inspire many..
The shirts designs are lovely, I like the I will blog for crypto part
Weldone sir.
Me too! It is such a worthwhile hobby!
You can say that again @papa-pepper
I'm totally loving every bit of it😁😁 and the fact that you can recommend such platform to a friend and we all win, makes me feel so blessed!!
@papa-pepper... my appreciation of the stance of the purpose of steemit ....
hopefully more steemit develop ...
I hope so too! Thanks!
Nice @papa-pepper
Thank you for promoting the platform because we all benefit when you help the good people of planet earth! The long arm of @papa-pepper touches Steemians all around the globe!
My long arm.... LOL!
I try to do what I can! Thanks @otage!
Great plan. I have forwarded this to a few of my friends across the pond. One will be in the area and she said she just might stop by.
That would be super cool!
Waahhhh, I want one of these super cool shirts!
What size do you wear?

Thank you!

Cool shirts @papa-pepper!
Wow @papa-pepper, i love the t-shirts, i wish i could get one.
Connecting to steemians offline is incredible and it can foster relationships.
Feels good to see you show your support even when you may not be attending. That's the attitude sir pepper!
Cheers!

Looks like a good excuse to go to the beautiful country of Wales but I just got back from Europe so doesn't fit in the budget. Have a great time y'all.
Very inspiring you're doing a local meetup. I'd love to set one up. Any tips?
Steemit it going to updating nowadays. This is the future of crypto <3.
Hello @papa-pepper
That's is good of you to have come with such gift in support of the meetup. That, for sure, will motivate and deepen the love of those individuals for Steemit. Thanks for the largesse.

Dude that is super epic. I might want to buy one. Can I buy one?
What size do you wear?
Hi, I'm giving away 10 Steem Dollars check my post to find out more

I’m sorry but this is poor etiquette. You don’t promote your post in another person’s comment section. It’s considered a spam link and hijacking another person’s traffic. Not cool...
Can't wait for it!!!! Thanks for the goodies!
Wish I could be going also, but "such is life"....
@papa-pepper will be rockin' the valleys.... ;-) said in my best/worst Welsh accent
(oh it's a lovely sound in your ears, is a soft lilting Welsh accent)
I'd love to go back.
But it is winter there, and summer here, so I'll stay here and try to nurse my poor corn stalks back to health.
I hope the meetup all goes well for everyone over there. And thanks as always to @papa-pepper for just being awesome!
Generous gifts for the Wales meetup, @papa-pepper! It should be an awesome meetup and perhaps a few new Steemians will join. I wish I could go! It would be great meeting fellow Steemians across the big pond. Someday I will meet some fellow Steemians...
I'll be attending the meetup! :D Thanks for the help for the swag bags :)
Thank you so much for the support and goodies @papa-pepper...
The meeting was very informative and inspiring @pennsif started with an introduction to steemit and how he'd got involved + activities he's taking part in.
Meeting and chatting to other steemians like @pumpkinsandcats, @artystuff, @stevejhuggett, @cryptojelly, @timmartin and of course @pennsif and @jen0revision was brilliant (I see these two at home though :)
I look forward to other meetups
Was an awesome meet up. Repeating what @cryptocariad said. Thank You! I have a Tshirt at home with me now =D
