Birmingham, England is just a few hours by plane from where I live, and I've been thinking I might go to PaizoCon UK sometime in the future, maybe this summer (July 21-23).
I wasn't able to find a lot of information on the con, though, so any information on the following things would be appreciated.
- How many people attend the con? How many tables of PFS?
- Are there any panels or presentations, or is the con mainly/only about playing PFS? Is there any interest for presentations (for example, about freelancing for Paizo)?
- What accommodation options are available?
- How's the location, is it easy to get there and find places to eat and such?
- Other than PaizoCon, what's there to see in Birmingham?
Thanks! :-)

"Many parts of Birmingham are connected to JRR Tolkien, author of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. He grew up in the city and parts of it inspired the imaginary people and places in his epic fantasy tales."
So check out the FREE - Birmingham Tolkien Trail.
This page leads off with that freebie and has things to see and do in Birmingham...
And this page supposedly scrolls through 273 things to do in Birmingham! - that should keep you busy.
Enjoy browsing!
I haven't been myself but this is the Paizocon UK main site

I'm not one of the organisers, but i've been to the last 2 or 3 Paizo Con UK cons and enjoyed every minute.
Expect 100 to 140 people. 5 slots over two days, including the end of season special. There's typically a slot zero and a social dinner before the official start of the Con.
There's accommodation at the venue, and alternative hotel options within 10 minutes walk. There is food available at the venue. The 2 pubs close by have good options too.
Come and join us! This year I will be joining the GM ranks :)
Contact Wintergreen via the boards for more details, he's one of the organisers.
