Any other mers from the British Isles?
I'm based in Cambridge, England.
Would be great to hear from anyone else on this side of the pond!

Ahhh really? I loved Cambridge! I remember studying at a program at Trinity College at Cambridge University. It was so awesome. I'd love to go back for graduate school or something. And you do circus art stuff too? That's really great! I have an officer position at the Juggling and Unicycling club here, although I only really do poi spinning.
im from scotland its very cold and not alot of swimming areas but its a great place to live.
I'm a writer hailing from England.
How come the Yanks get groups for every state and we all get lumped together as "Europod"?
That's sure to get the Eurosceptics backs up!

I think it's great we've got mers from all over the world here!!!! :) I'm hoping the pods get more and more popular so they can be reduced in size too. I love that I can meet up with local's that share my mermaid interests! Even though I am in the North Pacific Pod and I live in Oregon, my Pod stretches up into Canada :)
There does seem to be a distinct lack of European members around here...perhaps it's the cold climate.
Great to see some Euro Mers on here! I'm originally from Newcaslte, England but moved to the US four years ago. I know the waters are cold over there but keep swimming and living your dream.
i can't say that im from the UK but the water is just as cold where i live xD
Neither am I, and the Bavarian lakes are not very warm too. So, if I cannot travel, I´m trapped on the land and I´m a maid without mer...
But, since we are so few merpeople in Europe, we should manage to be in one pod ;-)
Hey! I'm in Texas right now but I'll be moving to St. Andrews, Scotland in September. We should organize a European Mer meet-up.
That sounds like a funny idea! :D
I'm in England! :) Cheshire to be precise :) lol
Hi !! I am new to this network and I live in Devon, UK!! Hello mermaids from UK!! There are so few of us here! xxx
I'll be in London for like, 4 hours on either June 7th or June 8th depending on how time zones work...
Hey guys,
I'm Callum from Liverpool, England good to see that im not the only 'Euromer' out there (: Seems like we have such a little pod, but i guess its because we are a rarity. Al'as I still dont have a tail as of yet but someday! Ugh the joys of being a student.
Im in England, London :)
Hello and welcome fellow British Isles mers :) I may be back in England later on this year or beginning of next, would be great to meet some of you. Anyone live up around Newcastle upon Tyne?
Hi! One more for the Pod - I'm in deepest darkest Devon :)
I'm currently in Camberley! But originally from Southampton!
I'm up in Scotland :O Fife to be exact (I just moved from Glasgow though, I really miss it x.x). It is certainly cold for swimming here!! yet to make a tail as my fursuit/quadsuit work takes priority :3 but one day I shall!
Nice to see others on the same island!
Welcome Kurauno! It's always nice to see more mers from the British Isles. I love Scotland, I used to spend a lot of time there with my family when I was young.
Hey Im from the UK too I just got my taill from magictail.de :)
What is it like to Swim in - I was searching for something good this side of the giant pond...
I haven't actually tried it yet i've just got it and don't really want to take it to a pool and its far too cold to go in the sea atm
Hi :)
I'm new here - based in London, UK. I'm pretty new to the whole Mermaid scene so any advice would be so welcome!
Thank you!

Mia Merode - I saw your fan page on Facebook and wanted to take a moment to compliment you on your art form. When I am not interacting with mermaids, the cabaret stage holds my rapt attention and deepest respect. It is my opinion that mermaids and cabaret performers are very similar, given that both communities call upon artistic and athletic gifts, allowing participants to express those talents with individual style.
To the question at hand....
I do not know if this individual is a member of MerNetwork, but Sandra Mermaid is in the UK https://www.facebook.com/sandramariemermaid
I also follow the brand new page, Morveren mermaid of Cornwall: https://www.facebook.com/MorverenMermaidOfCornwall She is actually a jewelry maker, not a mermaid performer, but I mention her as someone of a kindred spirit.
Last, but certainly not least, the UK is the home of Karen Kay and her international publication, Mermaids & Mythology - Themermaidmagazine.com: https://www.facebook.com/MermaidMagazine
To the best of my knowledge, none of these individuals has a MerNetwork profile, but I thought you would find the information useful nevertheless.
Rule Britannia!
Thank you for your help Stede Bonnet - greatly appreciated!

Welcome Mia Merode! Nice to meet you! It's nice to see someone else from the UK join us.
Feel free to pm me sometime if you have any question or just want to chat.
Thank you :)Quote:

Hey Guys I Was thinking wouldn't it be awesome to go mermaiding in centre parcs, you could take amazing pictures in the swiming dome and it would be so much fun going down the rapids in a tail!
Going to Centre Parcs would be awesome and not too far since I'm already up in the North lol I wonder if they would let you swim with a tail there? But yeah getting some picture with that swimming dome in the background would be neat. Shame I wasn't back in England to meet up with some of you. Though I am hoping to be back in England for a spell in April next year.
So where does everyone in the Uk go mermaid swimming? x
Hello i am from leicester uk :-) just thought i'd say hi :-). Yes that is pretty sucky that we get a small pod but all the tail makers are that side too. Not come across any in the uk. Who knows, maybe in a few years i could be :-)
I'm from england. Great to see there's other mers round here :)
Hiya to you all :)
I live in the south end of Britian, not only is the weather terrible here but theres nowhere to swim! Nowhere allows fins and after spending £50 pounds on a new mask I was told I coudl not use it because of the silcone nose cover on it. They said it blocks cpr and the pool could be sewed. The manager even admitted that not all the rules they enforce are on their website! He just said "Looks mate who reallylooks at the website anyway?" ARGH! So annoying, currently I am forced to just practise tricks without a tail :(
Oh, there's a Brit thread here! :D
I'm from Scotland, up around Ayrshire. Few places to really go mermaiding (or "mermanning", rather), which is a shame, but it's nice to know there's a few others around here in a similar predicament. ;)
Those from England were worried they were alone in their passions, but there seems to be very few Scots even by comparison! Makes me feel a little isolated. xD
I'm from the Wirral in England!!
Crikey :-( thats rubbish! When i get my tail made we shall have to just go to a pool together and tell them to sling their hooks! Hello to all :-) glad to see more brits, its very american here and feel like a fish out of water!
Mermaid Aqua that really sucks! But as soon as anyone finds a pool that will take us we will have to all go swimming there :) or we will have to wait for the three days of sunshine that we might get in the summer :p
