Ahh...Newcastle upon Tyne. Traditionally home to the "NoTzFurs" group, and as far North as we get before running into Scotland.

Meeting Point: Newcastle Central Railway Station - Noon.

A relaxed and informal meet, come and experience the charm of this unique city that hugs the banks of the River Tyne.

Resurrected in December 2007, the NoTz meets run on the first Sunday of every month and all are welcome to attend.

With some breathtaking architecture and a unique vibe, Newcastle has lots to offer the discerning fur and we hope to vary proceedings with every meet.

Where else can you have a picnic in the park followed by dinner on the beach? Or sit in the shadow of the world famous bridges and soak up the Geordie atmosphere.

Newcastle meets are full of fun and most importantly, they are for you. So if you have any suggestions then please don't hesitate to get in touch.
