Well, not only do we have all the fantastic guests and events you see above, there are some other major factors to consider too:

The convention is located in The Reading University students Union and is fairly easy to reach.
There is lots of indoor and outdoor space for meetups and picnics.

You have access to the lovely ground of Reading University which bring with it many wonderful photo opportunities as well as lovely surroundings. See the photo gallery for pictures.
