Southport this year will be my first UK weekender

But am looking at other ones that will be on while I am in the UK – and I have to say that things that I take into consideration are

Cost – both event and travel
Workshops – teachers and subjects I want to do
Quality of floor
Gender Balance – as I have to go on my own knowing that there won’t be 14 girls to every 1 guy is a relief
And if I am working Leave - can I get/afford time off work

Except for the gender balance these are the same things I consider when looking at going to Australian Weekenders - the other thing I consider in Aus is Friends going – either yeah chance to meet old ones or a chance to make new ones

Free water is an odd one for me – I would just assume that water would be provided free – plus if the accommodation has kitchens well I can just fill my water bottle in my room
