Just got back from it on the train.
One of the most civilised and best conventions I have been to in years, With great company , keenly priced delicious food ;D
great venue inc car parking .
good selection of traders selling a broad selection of the product that is Sci Fi and some of the friendliest participation games ever!!!!!
Well done everyone involved.

I would have liked to see that, but it clashed with Worlds......

Maybe next year you can do Blast-Tastic! on Saturday and Derby on Sunday?
BT 2015 will be even better than this years, so maybe just BT ?

Just back from the potential new venue.

Fairfield High School

The show itself is in their sports hall, so it is about three times the size of the previous venues hall.

It has two car parks, one that holds about 10 vehicles and has disabled spaces and the other that holds about 70 cars.
Plus there is also parking in the adjacent streets.

It has a diner/canteen that is less than a minute from the sports hall and is indoors.
They will be able to provide food and drink.

All very good news.
The only very slightly negative thing is the tables.
They are 2` x 2`. However they are the same height and are flush with one another when laid out.
So not really a bad thing, just a bit unusual to be fair.

Currently it is half term so the person I have been speaking to about the cost is not at work.
Once they are back though, I will get them to give me a quote and all being well will hire the venue.

Yay!

Blast-Tastic! 2015 looks to be bigger and better than last year!
