MidFur (United Kingdom)

A MidFur is a furry from the English Midlands. The Midfurs' group is normally regarded as smaller than the LondonFurs or NorthernFurs groups.

Furmeets
Informal gatherings have taken place between MidFurs for several years. More meets started across the Midlands to cater for the growing number of attending furs. According to the UK Fur forum, in the first six months of 2014, furmeets have been held in Birmingham, Lincoln, Milton Keynes, Nottingham, Peterborough, Stafford and Worcester.

Other informal and irregular meets take place across the region from time to time. These include Brumcon, a house party organized by Rizzorat and Rallicat.
