The RPGA was where I spent the vast majority of Gen Con UK (playing LG in the morning slots and running Living Spycraft in the afternoon and evening slots). There were 20 RPGA tables and 3 WFRP/Black Industries tables (although I think I only saw once of those tables in use during the whole event!). The only time the RPGA tables were empty really was on Thursday. Once the weekend crowd arrived things got busy quickly. As was proved on Saturday morning when the remaining tickets for the LG Onnwal Special went on sale... the queue started forming at 7am (the tickets didn't go on sale until 8am)!
Overall, Gen Con UK was a much better convention than last year, although Butlins need to remember that gamers need to eat as well (there was almost nothing open on Thursday - the only day when we had the site to ourselves). The accommodation was basic, but serviceable and the quality of the food was good. Beer prices were also reasonable.
