I was thinking of going, until I found out it costs almost £80 to get to Birmingham from the north of England... Maybe if I knew about this a few days ago I would have been able to get there for cheaper.

It's quite sad that getting a train to Birmingham costs almost as much as a plane to Amsterdam.

I think it would have been better in London, if not the north of England. Manchester is also a very nice place to hold events, since it's in the middle of England, allowing easy/cheap access from both the south and the north of England.
